The elevation can be neglected (all set to 0) if we are just going to draw in 2D, but even in that we can utilize positive or negative elevation values to indicate duct rising or dropping. In this case, we set the rectangular duct at 500(W)x500(H), at an elevation of 3000 (from Floor). Therefore, after our first click and before our second click, hover our cursor to the properties pane to set the properties for this first section of duct. After clicking on your first point, before we move on to the next point to complete the first section of our duct, we specify the properties for this first section of duct at the properties palette. In this case, we are going to route a supply air duct starting from the AHU (Air Handling Unit) in the AHU room. Preview is constructed with the click.Ĭlick on where you want to begin the duct. The previewed duct can be adjusted by hovering your cursor around to extend the length, and to the properties palettes to edit the properties of the duct segment to form. Preview will be shown for every segment of duct right before you click on where you want that segment to stops. We can set properties for the duct (Sizes, Types, Elevation, Fittings) after a duct is constructed, or more easily, during the preview mode before the duct is formed.
