Ventilation duct – Course
Insert fitting

Example

Suppose you want to use a component and configure specific settings at a particular position during the construction:

  • Bend
  • Tee
  • Transition

Workflow

  1. Move the duct to the position for inserting an object.
  2. Define a fix point by clicking .

  3. Select the object from the context menu (click ) or by using a Closedkeyboard key. The dialog appears.

  4. Check the settings.

    Angle of the direction change.

    Rotation of the bend and further direction of the duct. The setting is usually set during the definition of the duct route and also defines the angle Rotation.

    Setting Example
    Left
    Right
    Up
    Down

    Rotation of the object in degrees (°) around the central axis of the ventilation duct. A change in the value in the positive direction causes a rotation to the right (in the drawing direction of the ventilation duct).

    The value is usually set during the design of a duct system. A manual entry is required if the rotation has to deviate from the perpendicular angle.

    The setting only applies to objects in vertical duct segments. The rotation of the component is defined as angle. At an angle=0, the object is rotated to the right and corresponds to the position of the X-axis. A positive rotation causes the component to rotate counter clockwise.

    Setting Effect
    Straight

    An exit shows the selected direction. You can continue the course of the duct straight ahead.
    Branch

    An exit shows the selected direction. The duct follows the direction of the branch.
    Main

    Two exits are on the right and left. The duct follows the branch of the selected direction.

    Angle of the branch with respect to the duct.

    The setting also defines the angle at Rotation.

    Setting Exit
    Straight / Branch Main
    Left

    =180°
    Right

    =0°
    Up

    =270°
    Down

    =90°

    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.

    The setting only applies to objects in vertical duct segments. The rotation of the component is defined as angle. At an angle=0, the object is rotated to the right and corresponds to the position of the X-axis. A positive rotation causes the component to rotate counter clockwise.

    Setting Effect
    Depending on the dimensions of the ventilation duct, DDScad calculates meaningful values for the variable parameters.
    You can set the variable parameters of the object.

    The application of this setting depends on the selected product. For orientation you use the image.

    Rotation of the object in degrees (°) around the central axis of the ventilation duct. A change in the value in the positive direction causes a rotation to the right (in the drawing direction of the ventilation duct).

    The setting only applies to objects in vertical duct segments. The rotation of the component is defined as angle. At an angle=0, the object is rotated to the right and corresponds to the position of the X-axis. A positive rotation causes the component to rotate counter clockwise.

    Setting Effect

    At the exit you can continue with a rectangular duct. c corresponds to the height.

    At the exit you can continue with a round duct. d corresponds to the diameter.

    Setting e
    Left 0

  5. Click OK. The object is a part of the duct network. It defines the direction and characteristics of the continuing duct at the exit of the object.
