Information on the scheme generator in the trade Heating.

With the scheme generator you can create heating pipe run schemes generated automatically with a few settings and calculate them.

Overview Components

Depending on the trade, the various components are available in the dialog on the left. You can drag and drop the components into the scheme.

Scheme view

Displays the scheme with the inserted components and connections in the existing storeys. Radiators are displayed with their capacity in watts and the corresponding room number.

Pipe Run buttons

At the bottom of the dialog, the pipe runs are listed numerically next to each other. An individual name can be assigned to each pipe run, which can be entered in the field above and will be displayed. Use the symbols to add further pipe runs to the left or right.

With the Undo button you can undo the last working step. The Restore button allows you to restore the undone step.

New/Load.../Save...

New

With New you can create a new scheme. The program will ask if you really want to discard the old scheme so that you have the possibility to save your settings.

Load...

Load an already saved scheme (*.scheme file).

Save...

Save a scheme as *.scheme file under a freely chosen path. The scheme can then be called, edited and placed in a new drawing using the Load... button.

Options...

In the options, you can make presets for the schema construction.

Import...

With Import... you can import data from a *.pro file. The data transferred to the schema generator includes the storeys, pipe runs and the single radiators with manufacturer and model names as well as room numbers.

Storeys...

Use the button Storeys... to directly access the Storey table. Storeys created in the Storey table are transferred directly to the schema generator. Conversely, storeys created in the scheme generator are transferred directly to the Storey table and are thus available in the drawing.

Draw <

Click Draw < to have the scheme automatically created in your drawing. If there are already other objects in the drawing, you will be asked for the insertion point. If the drawing already contains a scheme, the old scheme is automatically deleted. If the existing scheme has already been calculated, all settings will be deleted from the calculation when redrawing.

Show insertion point

Enabled: The insertion point of the scheme can be freely determined in the drawing.

Disabled: The schema is automatically inserted into the origin of the drawing.
