   Note: The fields will be pre-populated with default dimension. These dimension are governed by the details defined in the HVAC Catalog.

3. Specify a type of joint to use for the Arrjoint (Arrive Joint) and Leajoint (Leave Joint). Refer to Create HVAC Component for a detailed description.

4. In the Connect list, select Connect or Unchanged:

   • Click Connect (default when Create is selected) - connects the piece of HVAC to the previous one.

   • Click Unchanged (default when Modify is selected) - positions the component at the co-ordinates 0.00.
