You can set the slope when adding a pipe or duct line, but it is advisable to add a line without a slope and define the slope afterwards.
Set the connection tolerance.
Select the piping type. The type sets the drawing settings in the floor plan but does not affect other pipe/duct properties.
When adding a duct line, the piping type is Ventilating. In addition to this, you can select a subtype for the line.
You can also select the Ventilation type when adding piping or a pipe component.
The drawing properties for each type and subtype in the floor plan are defined in the system settings. The type and subtype information is transferred to the material list and component list when you move a project into the DesignStream system.
