This task shows how to define
and place a section at the end of a HVAC part. |
 |
When you define and place an
HVAC section you are dividing (splitting) the duct end section so as to add
smaller runs and ducts that run in different directions, like branching.
There is no length (or depth) parameter to a section although it appears so
when placed in your document. |
|
1. |
With your HVAC document open, click the Place Section
button  . The Place
Section Parts dialog box opens, displaying buttons for horizontal or
vertical sections, and all sections in the catalog. If you select All
Section Parts then a list displays all sections in your catalog.
Select a vertical or horizontal section and click at the end of the duct
when the green arrow (connector) appears.
NOTE: When placing section
parts in the catalog, you should place the horizontal section part first,
then the vertical section part, and after that any other section parts you
want to add. |
|
2. |
With the new section displayed and the green arrow still
visible, the Manage Override Parameters dialog box will open. You can
make changes to the parameters shown. The width ratio shown (0.6),
reflects a 60/40 split of the duct section. The width ratio (vertical
section) or height ratio (horizontal section) can be changed to obtain the
desired section.

|
3. |
Make your changes and click OK. The
section is placed. To further divide the duct, place another section, this
time a horizontal section, over the previous one.
 
|
|
4. |
Click OK when finished. |
|
|
When placed, the section has
connectors for each portion from which you can continue
routing.
In the view above (right) there are four connectors available. |
