The program asks for confirmation if it is a rectangular room.The starting point for the laying area is selected.
- Select all corners of the room contour one after the other to define the laying area. Note: You can also define the laying area deviating from the room outline by selecting points on the free area by mouse clicks.
- Finally, click the starting point to complete the contour of the laying area.
- Confirm the entry with Enter to create the laying area. The laying area is displayed as a gray frame in the room.
Results
The laying area has been created and you can now insert a radiant heating/radiant cooling system into this area. If you mark the laying area, it will be displayed including grips. At the grips you can modify the laying area afterwards.
