Pipework – Terminate
To pipe end

Example

You can connect the pipework to the open end of existing pipework. DDScad responds to a possible difference in height.

Required conditions

Workflow

  1. Move the pipe to the desired connection point. The existing pipe segment is highlighted. DDScad detects whether a height difference exists.

  2. Click .

    Without height change:

    The connection is established. The function remains active. You can set the next starting point.

    With height change:

    The dialog appears: Connect pipes

    1. Check the settings.

      Options for designing the connection. DDScad offers available options depending on the situation.

      Direct connection

      Direct connection from the last fix point + to the connection point (oblique height change).

      Horizontal - Vertical

      Horizontal bend to the connection point and vertical connection.

      Vertical - Horizontal

      Vertical height change in the course of the incoming pipe and horizontal connection.

      Horizontal - Vertical - distance in

      Horizontal bend in the direction of the connection point, vertical height change in the set distance from the connection point and horizontal connection.

      90° Horizontal - (Vertical) - distance in

      Horizontal bend in the set distance from the connection point, vertical height change. Horizontal connection, parallel to the incoming pipe.

      Setting between the point of the height change and the connection point for the options:

      • Horizontal - Vertical - distance in
      • Horizontal - Vertical - distance back
      • 90° Horizontal - (Vertical) - distance in

      Standard angle for the bend for the height change. The position of the bend is calculated and can be edited afterwards.

      The angle of the bend for the heigh change is calculated and is set according to the last fixed point. The first bend is located at the last fixed point, the second at the connection point. You can edit the position of the bends afterwards.

    2. Click OK. The connection is established. The function remains active. You can set the next starting point.
