Details on Pipe Height

Information about the Pipe Height dialog.

You can use this function to assign elevation mark to individual points in rising or falling pipes in diagrams, floor plans or 2D detailed plans. The heights are calculated by taking several points from the drawing, taking into account if the height is rising or falling between points. The representation of the elevation mark depends on the selected planning type and the label defined for the planning type.

Last height

Shows the height of the previously selected point.

Distance

Displays the distance between the last point and the current point whose Height was determined.

Height

Defines the Height for the starting point at the beginning of the process and then displays the determined Height of the current point.

Falling, Rising

Specify whether the pipe is rising or falling. You can enter a percentage or degrees to define if the pipe is descending or ascending. The other value is automatically calculated.

Labels

In the Label area, you define the labels for the various planning types. The labeling blocks can be found in the program directory under ...\TGA Desktop\Support\Labels.

Starting point <

Starts the command. Define the Height of the starting point and if the pipe is rising or falling beforehand and select the starting point of the pipe in the drawing after starting the command. The button is then replaced by the button Next point <.
Tip: If necessary, label the starting point with its height before starting the process for better traceability.

Next point <

Starts the determination of the height of the next point. Then select the next point in the drawing whose height is to be determined.

Labeling <

Starts the labeling of the last determined point with the Height displayed in the dialog. After starting the command, the elevation mark is attached to the cursor for placement in the drawing.
