Drawing sewerage installations views

Sewage installations can be drawn with the commands used to draw pipe lines. In this command it is necessary to "manualy" specify all dimensions for individual pipes and fittings.

It is also possible to use manufacturers' libraries (e.g. Wavin) that are available in the Products library command.

 

„Wavin” library dialog window

 

In the Wavin library PVC, AS and welded HD-PE elements are available.

All elements have got properties that allow to automatically attach inserted elements to other elements (check page 191). At the same time program checks if the connection is appropriate and optionally reports problems or mismatched parts.

After selecting the Sequence of pipes it is possible to draw installation along the indicated consecutive points with automatic insertion of elbows.

 

The selection of elbows is done automatically in such a way to best match the shape of the designed installation to the intention of the user.

After indicating by the user the consecutive points, the application chooses from the database an elbow with the closest possible angle. If necessary, the lengths of drawn pipes sections are corrected.
