Equipment Nozzles

A nozzle is an interface point between the equipment and the connecting Pipework or a HVAC system. Nozzles are positioned and oriented (and given a height dimension) like other primitives but must be selected from the catalogue via a Specification (for the bore to be assigned) for pipework. HVAC nozzles can be custom designed using the parameters provided in the nozzle creation form.
