Abstract
Technologies are provided for automated configuration of hanger placement within a model layout in a computer-aided design (CAD) application. The technologies rely, in some embodiments, on an initial selection of pipe elements and a traversal direction. Candidate positions for placement of hangers are then generated. At each candidate position, a set of pipes essentially parallel to one another can be identified. When the set of pipes includes two or more pipes, the candidate position is deemed to be satisfactory and placement of a hanger at the candidate position can be configured. The configuration includes configuration of a size of a hanger bearer relative to the pipe elements present in such a set. The configuration also includes configuration of an elevation of the hanger. A termination rule can be utilized to terminate the generation of candidate positions and associated configuration of hanger placement.
