Place Duct Bank
Updated 6 months ago
This feature is used to place duct banks along a selected run of conduits.
The Placement Mode panel
- Entire Path - places spacers along the full length of a connected run.
- Change of Direction - places spacers along the length of a connected run until a bend is met.
- Single Spacer - allows placement of a single spacer.
Placement Mode Options
- Spacing - defines the maximum distance between spacers.
- From End - defines the distances used to place spacers at the beginning and end of a run.
- From Union - defines the distance spacers are placed from a coupling/union.
- Max Vertical Separation - defines the elevation distance used to determine if a conduit(s) are included in the spacer configuration. If the space between conduits exceeds this value, it is considered a separate duct bank, and an additional template is placed.
- Max Horizontal Separation - defines the planar distance used to determine if a conduit(s) are included in the spacer configuration. If the space between conduits exceeds this value, it is considered a separate duct bank, and an additional template is placed.
The Family panel
- Family menu - lists all duct bank families loaded in the model.
- Load Default Family button - used to load a generic eVolve duct bank family from the Family Browser into the model.
The Template Configuration panel
- Value A - the distance from the side edge of the outermost conduits to the left and right edges of the spacer.
- Value B - the distance from the top edge of the uppermost conduit to the top edge of the spacer.
- Value C - the distance from the bottom edge of the lowermost conduit to the bottom edge of the spacer.
- Height Rounding - Rounds overall height of the spacer.
- Width Rounding - rounds the overall width of the spacer.
