Automatically generating fittings

The program offers two features for the automatic generation of fittings at pipe joints (e.g. elbows or tees):

• The first option generates fittings at the joints of all the pipes in the job.
• The second option generates fittings at the pipe joints selected by the user.

After using any of these tools, the program reports the number of intersections where a fitting has been generated. From here, users can edit or delete the fittings created in the process if they wish to do so.

For these options to be available, the corresponding boxes must be activated in "Fittings" found in “Generation” under “Design options” in the “General options”. From here it is also possible to configure the type of fitting associated with each type of pipe joint.

Clicking on the option opens a window that displays a table with three columns:

• Link
• Consumptions
• Discharges

The consumption associated with each discharge can be defined in the program by selecting it in each of the entries in the table. This way, when a consumption is entered in the "Water Systems" tab, the associated discharge is automatically entered in the "Sanitary Systems" tab, and vice versa, when a discharge is entered in the "Sanitary Systems" tab, the associated consumption is automatically entered in the "Water Systems" tab.

If the "Link" checkbox is ticked, the associated consumption and discharge will remain linked for editing operations such as moving them. Thus, moving the consumption will also move the discharge.

With the "Configuration" option in the top right corner, the consumption and discharge settings for different countries or environments can be loaded automatically.

• By slope
  Directly defines the value of the slope of the span. Then, the points defining the span in plan are entered in the model. The program will select "By slope" in the "3D layout" section of the span editing panel and will fill in the "Slope" value, without locking it. If it is kept unlocked, when designing the program this value can be modified according to its configuration parameters and the layout of the span in the installation.
  • Slope
• By slope that is conditioned by the previous element
  This defines the span by slope without specifying its value. Then, the points defining the span in plan are entered in the model. The program will select "By slope" in the "3D layout" section of the span editing panel and will fill in the "Slope" value conditionally to the previous span. If it is kept unlocked, when designing the program, this value can be modified according to its configuration parameters and the layout of the span in the installation.
• Without restrictions
  Used to freely enter the points defining the span in the space. The program will select ‘No restrictions’ in the ‘3D layout’ section of the span editing panel.

Vertical pipe

Allows a vertical pipe to be inserted into the water drainage system, either for rainwater and/or wastewater drainage or for ventilation.

By clicking on this option, the program can be used to define the characteristics of the vertical pipe by means of an editing panel identical to the one that appears when using the "Piping" option, in the event that the "Vertical pipe" type is selected in this panel.

Then, when a vertical pipe is inserted in the model, the program displays the "Properties - Vertical pipe" dialogue box, where the level associated with the "End point" of the pipe is defined, together with a "Displacement" above the indicated level, expressed in positive or negative values. The starting point of the pipe is marked with the cursor on a point in the work area.

This way, the pipe is laid out from the workplane elevation of the active view to the elevation defined by the selected level and the displacement indicated in the aforementioned dialogue box.

Add points

Adds intermediate points to pipes. The pipe remains as a single element without being divided.

Delete points

Deletes intermediate points of the pipes. The pipeline remains as a single element without being divided.

Join

Joins two pipes into a single pipe, generating the connection span if necessary. The resulting pipe adopts the properties of the first pipe selected when using the option.

Divide

Divides a pipe in two at the selected point.

Extend/trim element

Used to lengthen or shorten a pipe with respect to a reference pipe. The first selected pipe serves as a reference, while the second selected pipe is lengthened or shortened after using the option. The program can be used to preview the resulting geometry when the second selection is made.

Extend/trim to intersection

Used to lengthen or shorten two selected pipes to their intersection point. The program can be used to preview the resulting geometry when the second selection is made.

Search

Searches for an element by entering a text with its full reference or part of its reference.

• Only whole word (optional)
  If this box is checked, only the elements that match the entered text in full will be searched for.

When doing this, the program locates the element in the model by means of magenta lines in the main directions of the space and an enveloping volume of the same colour.

Drawing

The options in this menu allow the following drawing resources to be entered in a plan view:

Consult the checks carried out

This option is used to open and consult the list of detailed checks that have been carried out on each element in the system.

This report includes information with the reference and/or description of the element, together with a table showing a description of each "Check" carried out, the limit and calculated "Values", and the "Status" of compliance.

This tool is equivalent to the "Consult checks" option, accessible from the editing panel of each element.

Show/Hide editing issues

When this option is activated, the elements of the system in which there has been a warning or error relating to their entry or editing by means of an incident system, as in the case of incorrectly developed systems, are highlighted. Hovering the cursor over each issue displays the message describing the warning or error.

Show/Hide design issues

In a similar way to the previous option, activating this option highlights the elements of the system in which there has been a warning or error related to the design checks by means of an incident system, such as possible non-compliance with codes. Hovering the cursor over each incident displays the message describing the warning or error.

Displaying locked elements

This option highlights the elements of the model that have any of the parameters mentioned in the previous option in yellow in the work area, making them easier to find.

• Water Systems (optional)

In the "Installation" tab of the "Sanitary Systems" tab, the options for configuring the snaps and adjusting the display of the elements in the model are found in the "Snap options" panel, which is located on the left-hand side of the interface by default.

These options allow the following parameters to be set for all model views:

• 3D (optional)
  Enables or disables the 3D or volumetric representation of the elements of the model.
• Snap (optional)
  Enables or disables the snappubg of the elements in the selected category.
• Reference
  Reference of the element category.
• Opacity
  Adjusts the opacity of the 3D representation of the elements by entering a value between 0 (completely transparent) and 100 (completely opaque).
• Symbols (optional)
• Enables or disables the symbolic representation of the elements in the model.

The categories of elements in the water evacuation system that can be configured are as follows:

• Supply connection points
• Inspection boxes
• Fittings
• Drainage pipes
• Longitudinal drains
• Gutters
• Consumptions
• Drainage areas
• Pipes

The "Diagrams" tab, available at the top of the "Sanitary Systems" tab, allows users to automatically generate diagrams of the water evacuation system from the model information developed in the "Installation" tab, or to create them manually using the available drawing tools:

• To create the diagrams from scratch, the sheets of the required formats are first created using the options on the left-hand side. Then the elements in the diagram are entered in the work area on the right-hand side using the options in the top toolbar.
• To generate the diagrams automatically, the "New" option at the top is used. Then, the user is free to modify the generated diagrams on the work area by using the options in the top toolbar as well.

Composite diagrams can be selected in this tab to be printed together with the rest of the job drawings using the corresponding options.

Diagram management

The diagrams of the water evacuation system are composed on sheets of different formats. The tools for creating and managing diagrams are located on the left-hand side of the interface.

The following features can be configured when creating or editing a diagram:

• Reference
• Description
• Paper size
  The available paper sizes can be configured under "General options".
• Orientation (Horizontal / Vertical)
• Scale factor (%)

Options in the "Project" group

In the "Project" group of the top toolbar, the program includes the following features:

General options

Used to configure the paper formats and types of table available.

Symbols

Creates custom symbols using a drawing editor or imports symbols contained in DXF, DWG or DWF files saved on disk. A default symbol library can also be loaded and modified. These symbols can be selected in the configuration defined for each element by entering them using the "Element" option.

Tools for entering diagram elements

These options allow users to freely enter the elements of the diagram of the water supply system, defining the following parameters:

• Element
  • Reference
  • Tag (Colour, Description, Reference line)
  • Description
  • Symbol (Download / Manhole box / Fitting)
    • Custom (optional)
      Selects a symbol previously created with the tools in the "Symbol" option.
    • Size
    • Colour
• Pipe
  • Reference
  • Tag (Colour, Description, Reference line)
  • Vertical pipe (optional)
    Indicates that the pipe is vertical. The program will check if the model has a vertical pipe with the indicated reference.
  • Description
  • Colour
  • Symbol
    Sets the line style representing the pipe. The last option is used to provide a realistic representation, indicating the "Distance" between parallel lines.

Reference line

Enters a reference line. These lines can be used to specify the layout of the elements in the diagram on the different floors of the building.

User tables

Inserts legends or tables with complementary information in the diagrams.

When creating a table, it can be "Generic", specifying the number of rows and tables and filling in the content of its cells in a free editor, or "Legend" type, where "Automatic generation" is possible depending on the elements arranged in the diagram.

Table types can also be managed via the corresponding option in the "General options".

Drawing tools
