The list of HVAC templates, for the HVAC STRT element to be supported, is filtered on the settings of two uda’s. They are :MdsHv (described in Filter Settings at a Piping or Tray Project Special Template) and :MdsRange and are both attributes of the STRU template.
The second filter control, :MdsRange, is implemented for HVAC templates only. It controls whether insulation exists on the HVAC STRT element being supported. The settings are shown in the table below:
|
Setting |
Action |
|---|---|
|
0 |
Restrict the STRU template to support only HVAC STRT elements that are uninsulated. |
|
1 |
Restrict the STRU template to support only HVAC STRT elements that are insulated. |
|
2, any other value, or left unset |
Allow the STRU template to support HVAC STRT elements that are either uninsulated or insulated. |
Having set the udas at the STRU templates, consider also :MdsCheck. Set this uda at the time the template is selected and/or built from the list displayed in the Select Project Special form. The options are shown in the table below:
|
