Manual Splitting
The Heated Area Partition splits larger underfloor heating areas into multiple loops to prevent exceeding Maximum Loop Length limits.
This tool is essential when you receive a Warning indicating that a loop has exceeded its Maximum Length which is shown by a red box around Index Length @ Spacings. Alternatively, you can increase the Maximum Length in the Settings.

Max. loop lengthparameter in theSystemsSettingsas much as possible, but it might take up to a minute to generate.Low Effort: Attempts to comply with the
Max. loop lengthparameter (less accurate thanHigh Effort), but generates instantaneously.Medium Effort: A mix between
High EffortandLow Effort.
Once you have selected the option, please select
