Design options and check

Users can now add a series of complementary checks that modify and complement the specific design options and checks of the selected code.

Since the program’s first version, the design options and checks of the selected code are defined in the “Design and check options to be carried out” section of “General settings”. In the 2018.k version, the “General checks” button has been added to the “Analysis and drawing options” section of the “General settings” dialogue box, which opens a panel with same name, that allows users to configure more design and check options:

• General checks
  • Positioning of the traps in series
    By activating this option, users can check that these elements have not been placed in series.
  • Minimum free height
    The field “Minimum free height” has been included in the definition of each floor. By activating the “Minimum free height” option in the “General checks” dialogue box, the program will check that the lowest point of each pipe span of each floor does not exceed the minimum free height that has been defined.
    
• Calculation options
  In this section of the “General checks” panel, users can create alternative options to those that have already been defined in “Design and check options to be carried out”. Several design option groups can be configured. Once defined, they will not be applied to the design of the installation until they have not been assigned by users using the “Design options” button of the “Project” section of the top tool menu.
