Components : Flat Oval : Flat Oval Straight

The task of creating an HVAC Component is initiated from the HVAC Window.

Select Flat Oval in the Categories drop-down list and then Straight in the Available Type drop-down list to display the Oval Straight window:

You are required to input the following dimensions:

•

Duct Width AA

•

Duct Depth AB

•

Length

To visualise how the dimensions equate to the actual piece of HVAC, click Picture to display a detailed drawing for Straight.

Note:

The fields will be pre-populated with default dimension. These dimension are governed by the details defined in the HVAC Catalogue.

Click Transpose Width/Depth to exchange Duct Width AA dimension with Duct Depth AB dimension.

Specify a type of joint to use for the Arrive Joint and Leave Joint. Refer to Create/Modify HVAC Component for a detailed description.

After selecting the type of joint to use for the Arrive Joint and Leave Joint you must enter the Width Direction.

In Width Direction specify the axis to be used. Valid axes are E (East), N (North), U (Up), -E (negative East), -N (negative North) or -U (Negative Up).

In the Position list, select Connect or Unchanged:

•

Click Connect (default when Create is selected) - connects the piece of HVAC to the previous one.

•

Click Unchanged (default when Modify is selected) - positions the component at the co-ordinates 0.00.

Note:

Unchanged is usually used, when Modify is selected, it does not connect the component but positions it at 0.00, in effect in a floating position.

Click Defaults to reset all the fields back to when the Oval Straight window was opened.
