Select the object in the drawing, and click the add grip to begin drawing a duct run:
then…
If you want to…
click the add grip at one end of the segment.
start a run from one of the ends of a
duct segment
click the add grip at the midpoint of the segment. A tee or takeoff
is automatically inserted, depending on the connection specified for
duct layout preferences.
start a run from the midpoint of a duct
segment
click the add grip on the MvPart connection.
start a run from an MvPart
click the add grip pointing in the direction of where you want to
start the new run.
start a run from a fitting, such as an
elbow or tee
2
In the Add Ducts dialog, if you start from an MvPart, specify a system type for System.
3
If you start from a duct segment or fitting, the new run inherits the system.
4
If you change the size before specifying the first segment of the new run, a transition is
automatically inserted between the object and new duct segment after you specify the first point
of the new run.
If the appropriate transition is not configured in the routing preference, you are prompted to
choose a part.
5
Continue specifying points for the duct run layout geometry.
6
In the Add Ducts dialog, click Close.
Drawing a Vertical Duct Run
Use this procedure to add a vertical run to a duct run.
1
Start the Add Ducts command, and begin laying out the duct run.
For basic information on laying out a duct run, see
on page 196.
2
Specify the point in the layout where you want to start the vertical segment.
3
In the Add Ducts dialog, specify the elevation of the endpoint of the vertical segment.
4
Continuing specifying points for the duct run geometry.
5
In the Add Ducts dialog, click Close.
Drawing 1-Line Duct
Use this procedure to draw 1-line duct systems to configure preliminary routes and connect mechanical
equipment placed in the drawing. 1-line ducts are added as undefined duct components and displayed as a
single line. They act as placeholders for the eventual defined duct components.
In order to ensure connectivity between objects in the system, use
connections.
This procedure provides quick instructions for drawing 1-line duct systems. For complete information on
drawing ducts, see
on page 196.
