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

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 LA dimension with Duct Depth LB dimension.

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

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

In Leave Direction specify the Axis that should be used. Valid Axis are E (East), N (North), U (Up), -E (negative East), -N (negative North) or -U (Negative Up).Using the Flip Rectangle / Circle drop-down list, you can choose whether to flip the direction of arrive and leave of the of the piece of HVAC, 180° relative to the point of origin.

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 piece of HVAC at the co-ordinates 0.00.

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

Click Defaults to reset all the fields back to when the Linear Plenum window was opened.

Click Fit to orientate the Linear Plenum to automatically match the outlet (p-leave) of the previous piece of HVAC to the inlet (p-arrive) of the next piece.
