Draw 3D Ductwork (Window)

The Draw 3D Ductwork (Window) command is used to draw the 3D ductwork for all of the ducts in a windowed area.

To draw ductwork in 3D, go to
Ribbon: DM HVAC→3D-BIM→  Draw 3D Ductwork (Window)
Pulldown Menu: DM HVAC→3D-BIM→Draw 3D Ductwork (Window)

You will be prompted to specify the first point of the window around the ducts to draw in 3D.

Draw triple line:>> Select ducts: First corner of window:

You will then be prompted to specify the second point of the window.

Draw triple line:>> Select ducts: Second corner of window:

Any existing 3D ductwork that is crossed by the window will be erased. All of the duct nodes that are inside the window will have their fittings drawn in 3D. All of the duct centerlines that are inside or crossed by the window will have their ductwork drawn in 3D.
