Details on "Layer” in the "Settings"(Heating/Cooling)
Information about the section Layer in the Settings dialog of Pipe Network Calculation Heating and Pipe Network Calculation Cooling.
In this area, you specify which layer are used for detecting components and pipes in the calculation.
The layers are preset according the program specifications. The program recognizes the different types like supply- or return via the layer on which the pipes have been drawn. The built-in symbols are drawn on a separate layer. The program then recognizes to which pipe type the symbols belong, based on the pipes in which the symbols are installed.
You are here:
Also detect 3D layers
