  1. Activate: Standard ToolsClosed

  2. Select the function in Context ToolbarClosed
    The information line shows:[Click Left] at segment=Position to insert

    Alignment of the sprinkler head. The setting also defines the angle at Rotation.

    Setting Example
    Left
    Right
    Up
    Down

    Rotation of the object in degrees (°) around its center axis. A positive angle causes a rotation to the right (relative to the drawing direction).

    The angle is automatically set with Left / Right / Up / Down. A manual entry is required if the rotation has to deviate from the perpendicular angle.

    Selection of a reference line in the building to define the mounting height.The reference on the object is the centre axis of the connection point.

    Setting Effect
    Ceiling (FCL)

    The value at Distance refers to the height of the ceiling (at room height).
    Suspended Ceiling (SCL)

    The value at Distance refers to the height of the suspended ceiling.

    The value at Distance refers to the upper edge of the finished floor level.
    Slab (SSL)

    The value at Distance refers to the upper edge of the unfinished floor level.
    Free

    The mounting height is independent of the building model. The value in Distance refers to the height Z=0 in the absolute coordinate system.
    User 1 - …User 4 -

    The entries User 1 - to User 4 - contain variable standard heights. You can select and modify a standard height (e.g. User 3 - 0.850). To do so, Product is activated for input. The entered value is stored for this entry as new standard height and can also be selected for other objects. This change has no effect on the mounting height of already inserted objects, these are automatically assigned the setting Free.

    The product defines the appearance and behavior of the object. Select the appropriate product in the product database. You may need to search for it or create a new product.

    Click .... The product database appears.

    You have found the appropriate product

    Select the desired entry by double clicking . The product database is closed. The object dialog opens.

    The product is difficult to find

    Suppose the product database contains a wide selection and the product is hard to find. In this case, various functions can assist you in your search. Closed More

    The product database is organized as a tree structure and equipped with search fields . You can also broaden or limit your search .

    The search fields act as filters that are linked by an AND relationship. DDScad limits the display of those products that contain the string entered in the corresponding data fields. You can narrow down the display even further by using another search field.

    You can expand or limit the effect of the search fields as is required.

    Setting Effect
    The product database limits the display to products that are used in the current project.
    The product database expands the display to all available products.
    Setting Effect
    The effect of the search fields applies to all branches of the tree structure.
    The effect of the search fields is valid only for the active branch of the tree structure.

    No appropriate product exists

    Create a new product.
