Details on Ducts

Information on the Ducts section.

You are here:

Project tab ➤ Ventilation discipline ➤ Construction tab

Ducts <

Construct ducts with the selected material and dimensions. The duct is inserted at the height of the construction level. The height reference (top, center, bottom) is taken into account.

If you continue to construct on an existing duct, the dimension of the existing duct is adopted, regardless of the diameter you have selected in the Pipes section. If you do not want to apply the dimension of the existing duct, deactivate the Apply dimension button in the Revit ribbon. The dimension transfer does not work for section views.

Manufacturer

Here, all manufacturers are available, whose data sets have been installed and, if necessary, have been licensed.

Duct system

Here you can select all systems that are contained in the selected manufacturer data set.

Diameter or Width/Height

Depending on the duct system, you select either the diameter (round duct) or the width and height (oval duct, rectangular duct) of the duct. All dimensions of the selected duct system are available for selection.

Height reference

Determine whether the construction level should refer to the upper edge, the middle or the lower edge of the duct.

Orientation

Determine whether the cursor should be aligned to the left edge, the center or the right edge of the pipe while drawing. The setting remains active even if you change the dimension.
