Edit the Properties
Because the example was copied from a standard component then the full list of properties has been inherited. A full list is available in the HVAC Designer User Guide.
It is therefore necessary to decide which properties are required for input for the new component.
The properties are in the DATASET created earlier (i.e.
/My-Y-Type-3-Way1-DTSE
).
The long list of data elements (Properties of the Design element) can be shortened by setting the LHIDE attribute to true. Therefore, for the example only the following DATA elements set to LHIDE false are needed:-
AARR -
A of the Arrive Duct size (DESP[2])
BARR -
B of the Arrive Duct size (DESP[3])
ALEA -
A of the Leave Duct size (DESP[4])
ABRA -
A of the Branch Duct size (DESP[41])
ATHR -
Arrive Throat (DESP[12])
LTHR -
Leave Throat (DESP[13])
BRLE -
Branch Length (DESP[7])
AOFF -
Offset A (DESP[10])
BANG -
Angle B (DESP[10])
The easiest way to do this is to use the List utility to add all data elements to a list and action the command LHIDE true, then navigate to the ones required for input and manually modify LHIDE false.
These are the properties that will appear on the Create/Modify User Defined components form:
Modify the text, set defaults and reorder the data elements to improve the presentation. To give:
A PLOT file property will be completed later using a DRAFT picture of a sample component created in MODEL, but first, the geometry has to be completed.
