Connecting Components (Ventilation/Air Ducts)

Shows step-by-step how to connect components to air ducts in an air duct network, e.g. air diffusers.

Before you begin

You want to connect components that you have placed in your air duct network, e.g. air diffusers.

Requirements:

You have placed the components in your drawing and drawn in suitable air ducts.

Navigate to:

Project tab ➤ Discipline Ventilation ➤ 3D - Model planning ➤ Create tab ➤ Command group Pipes

Applies to: Ventilation

Procedure

Click the button Connect <.
Select the components to be connected.
Confirm the selection with Enter.
Select the air duct to which the components are to be connected and confirm your selection with Enter.

Results

The components were connected to the air duct.
