Insert object in horizontal duct segment

Insert object in vertical duct segment

Example

Suppose you want to insert a single object of this category in a vertical duct.

Objects in vertical ducts are visible in three-dimensional views.

Workflow

Transition

  1. Activate: Standard ToolsClosed

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

  1. Apply a sufficient zoom level - Closedzoom.

    The scroll wheel of the mouse allows you to zoom in and out in any situation, even in case of active functions and open dialogs.

    You approach the model. The position of the cursor defines the focus point.

    Example 1

    If the mouse cursor is on the upper left corner of the area of interest, the image expands downward from the right.

    Example 2

    Puts the focus on the lower right corner of the area, the image extends up to the left.

    You move away from the model. The position of the cursor defines the focus point. The reducing image moves toward the mouse cursor.

    Example 1

    If the focus is on the upper left corner of the screen, which moves the reducing image to the upper left.

    Example 2

    If the focus is on the lower right corner of the screen, which moves the reducing image to the lower right.

    The cursor appears as a magnifying glass. You can drag a window to determine the zoom area.

    You move away from the model with every click until the image is reduced to 50%.

    The display is optimized so that the entire model appears on the screen.

    Function/Keys Effect

    Zoom All

    [Ctrl] +[Home]

    The display is optimized so that the entire model appears on the screen. The borders of the model are completely visible within the screen.

    Zoom Extent

    [Ctrl] +[End]

    The display is optimized so that the entire model appears on the screen. The borders of the model touch the screen.

    Zoom to assumed extent of drawing. Exclude objects far away.

    [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[Z]

    Note

    This is useful only during the processing of DWG/DXF files.

    The display is optimized so that objects lying far outside the plot are ignored.

    You may occasionally receive drawings in which individual fragments are positioned outside the floor plan. This means that the actual drawing after calling the function Zoom All appears as a point or spot on the screen.

    With Zoom to assumed extent of drawing. Exclude objects far away. you can avoid this effect.

    Zoom Window

    [Shift]+[W]

    The cursor appears as a magnifying glass. When holding down left mouse button you can drag a window to determine the zoom area.

    Zoom Centre...

    After the function is started, DDScad will expect a position that is to be placed at the center of the screen:

    Click on the position of interest. The visible range is shifted so that the displayed position is in the center of the screen. The image is neither zoomed in or out.

    Zoom In

    [Ctrl] +[PgDn]

    		 The image is enlarged with factor two.

    Zoom Out

    [Ctrl] +[PgUp]

    The image is reduced by half.

    DDScad symbolizes vertical ducts with its geometric shape and dimensions from the top view.

  2. Point into the vertical ventilation duct. The vertical segment appears as a marked object. DDScad displays the information about the duct segment and the current position. The displayed height corresponds to the center of the vertical section, measured from FFL.

  3. Click . The dialog appears: Give position in flow segment

  4. Define the installation height.

  5. Click OK. The dialog appears: Transition

  1. Check settings in tab: Object

    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.

    Reference for alignment of the duct at the exit of the component.

    The settings relate to the routing of the ductClosed (coming from left/right and running up or down). A unique representation of the effect is not possible when inserting into a vertical segment. Consider the illustrations as examples and react depending on the situation at hand.

    Setting e
    f

    Left / Right

    Up / Down

    Center

    DDScad differentiates the parts list based on the number (= product number). It is set when the item is selected, but can be entered manually if known.

    Setting Effect
    The object is included in the parts list.
    The object is not included in the parts list.

    Opens the product database and allows the selection of a product.

  2. Check settings in tab: Pressure Loss

    Setting Effect

    The velocity level is taken from the previous segment.

    You can freely determine the speed level.

    Association of the components to the selected velocity level.

  3. Click OK. The object is part of the duct segment and the function remains active with the current settings. You can insert the object again at a different position.
