Entering installation elements
In the "Installation" group of the main toolbar, the following elements can be defined and entered:
Link nodes
Enter a link node in the model after specifying the following parameters:
- Reference
- Type of node
- Reference
- Power supply (upstream)
- Link node
Switchboards
Enters a switchboard or sub-switchboard in the model after specifying the following parameters:
- Reference
- Circuits
- Reference
- Colour
- Power supply (upstream)
- Switchboard/Link node
Junction box
Enters a junction box in the model after specifying the following parameters:
- Reference
Then it is possible to automatically route the conduits from a junction box to the selected receivers with the "Generate branches" option.
Pattress box
Enters a pattress box into the model after specifying the following parameters:
- Reference
Conduits
Enters conduits in the model after specifying the following parameters:
- Reference
- Power supply (downstream)
- Switchboard/Link node
- Circuits
- Switchboard/Circuit
Generate branches
Generates the path of the conduits connecting a junction box to the selected receivers.
Generate conductors
This generates the information on the circuits inside the conduits and the switchboards or link nodes they feed according to the distribution entered graphically in the model, replacing all the previously assigned conductors.
Receivers
Enter receivers freely in the model after specifying the following parameters:
- Reference
- Type
- Type reference
- Assigned circuit
- Switchboard
- Circuit
Assign receivers
Automatically assigns receivers to the loads and equipment read from the BIM project according to the specifications indicated. It displays a table where a "Type of receiver" can be associated with each "Load/Equipment".
Assign properties
Assigns the following properties to the selected receivers:
- Type
- Switchboard
- Circuit
This option allows mass modification of the properties of the desired receivers without the need to edit them one by one.
