Drawing Networks

Learn how to draw pipe and duct networks, generate schematics, and create slots and openings.

The creation of pipe networks in the heating, cooling, potable water, waste water, ventilation, gas and fire protection trades includes the construction of pipes and ducts with neutral or manufacturer-specific materials and the connecting of pipes, ducts and components.

The Pipe corridor command allows you to define and draw a pipe run with media from all available trades. You can use the Pipe offset command to solve any collisions of pipes with each other or with other elements that may have occurred in the 3D model.

Inspection tools such as the Collision check help to locate and correct drawing errors. With generators such as the Manifold generator or the Tank generator, you create user-defined built-in parts.
