Automatic provisions <

Automatically places void proposals based on your settings.

Note: The setting Round up provision dimensions in the Options dialog ( Options...Void planning) results in the lateral distances generated in the model being larger than the lateral distance specified here, because the calculated dimensions of the void proposal have been rounded up according to the setting. This applies to all placeholders where laterial distances are specified.

Rectangular with lateral distance

Activated: Places rectangular void proposals for rectangular and oval ducts with the specified lateral distance. The lateral distance is the distance between the duct and the inner edge of the opening.

Deactivated: Rectangular ducts are ignored when placing void proposals.

Round with max. diameter and lateral distance

Activated: Places round void proposals for pipes and round ducts. The maximum diameter and the lateral distance are taken into account. The lateral distance is the distance between the duct and the inner edge of the opening.

The maximum diameter refers to the outer diameter of the pipe or duct. If the pipe or duct has a larger outer diameter than specified here, a rectangular opening is placed.

Deactivated: Round duct and pipe receive rectangular void proposals.

Place in

Activated: Places automatic void proposals in walls and/or ceilings or floors.

Join automatically

Activated: Joins rectangular and/or round void proposals for automatic placement considering the settings.

Located back to back

Activated: Combines several placeholders that are placed directly one after another into one placeholder.

Minimum distance

Defines the minimum distance between two void proposals. If the distance between two void proposals is smaller than the specified value, the void proposals are joined.
