Rectangular Components - Test Holes

The task of creating an HVAC Component is initiated from the HVAC Window.

1. From the HVAC Window select Rectangular in the Categories dropdown list and then Test Holes in the Available Type dropdown list to display the Test Holes window:

   

   You are required to input the following dimensions:

   • No of Test Holes

   • Test Hole - Dia

   • Test Hole Height

   • MAIN width LA

   • MAIN depth LB

   • Dist from Leave

   • Lateral Offset

   • Inner Extension

     Note: The fields will be pre-populated with default dimensions. These dimensions are governed by the details defined in the HVAC Catalog. The No of Test Holes default is as defined in the HVAC Catalog but can be changed.

2. To visualize how the dimensions equate to the actual piece of HVAC select Picture to display a detailed drawing for Circular Components Catalog Element - Test Holes.

3. Select Transpose width/depth to exchange MAIN width LA dimension with MAIN width LB dimension.

4. In Holes Direction specify the axis to be used. Valid axes are E (East), N (North), U (Up), -E (negative East), -N (negative North) or -U (Negative Up).X, Y, Z, -X, -Y or -Z.

5. The Clash Vol fields will be pre-populated with the obstruction volumes associated with the access panel and the ducting, but can be changed.

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

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

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

   Note: Unchanged is usually used, when Modify is selected, it does not connect the component but positions it at 0.00, in effect in a floating position.

7. Select Defaults to reset all the fields back to when the Test Holes window was opened.

8. Select Fit To Next to orientate the Test Holes to automatically match the outlet (p-leave) of the previous piece of HVAC to the inlet (p-arrive) of the next piece.
