Details on Pipes in Scheme in the Settings for Heating and Cooling

Information on the section Pipes in the Scheme in the dialog Settings for Analyse Heating or Analyse Cooling.

When setting up this section, keep in mind that a pipe network in the form of a pipe run scheme is only partially scalable at most. Edit the corresponding section directly in the calculation dialog to calculate the change in pipe lengths of a section part.

Section Pipes in the Scheme in LINEAR Solutions for Autodesk AutoCAD

Lengths/Height factor

Enabled: The drawn pipe lengths and heights are determined during detection and multiplied by the entered factor. Since drawing is usually done at a scale of 1:1, the default factor is 1.

Disabled: When a scheme is first detected, zero length/height is assumed for all subsections. If you have already edited section part data in the calculation dialog, the user-defined values are used.

Planning type

The current Planning type is displayed, which you define in the Disciplines ... section. The program derives the Z-axis for the determination of heights from the selected planning type.
