Details on the “Distance Parameters” Dialog
Information on the Distance parameters dialog.
You can open, edit and delete distance tables in this dialog. If you want to lay pipes at different distances depending on the type of building, room, etc., you can create a separate spacing table for each requirement.
By defining minimum distances, you no longer have to pay attention to the distances to other pipes or walls when drawing pipes. You activate the desired distance table when drawing a pipeline via the Options context menu.
You are here:
Description: States the description of the opened distance table. You can change the description in this field as you wish.
Information for distance calculation: In this area you can make the basic settings for the calculation and the dimensions for the distance calculation.
Distance of pipe <->: In the drop-down list, set to which element the distance of the pipe should be set, Wall not isolated, Wall isolated, Pipe not isolated or Pipe isolated.
Basic distance: Specifies the basic distance that must be maintained in any case.
Portion of pipe-Ø: Specifies the percentage of the pipe diameter to be added to the basic distance.
Minimum distance: Specifies the minimum distance to be maintained between pipe and wall.
Maximum distance: Specifies the maximum permissible distance between wall and pipe.
Round up: Specifies the value for rounding results.
Formula: Specifies the formula for calculating the clear distance. The clear distance between the pipe and the wall is calculated as follows: [Basic distance] + [Portion of Ø] x [Ø]
Display of emerging distances: In this table you can determine individual distances for the individual pipe diameters.
