Select Correct System View for Design

To design your system, itโ€™s important to ensure youโ€™re in the correct system view.

Each system has its own design mode and toolbar, so selecting the appropriate view is essential.

How to Select the Correct System View

Step-by-step
  1. System Categories:

    Depending on your project Workflows and Settings, you may have up to four system categories available:

    - Water/Fire/Gas

    - Heating/Cooling

    - Drainage

    - Ventilation

  2. Switch Between Systems:

    Use the drop-down menu next to each category to select the specific system you want to work on.

    For example:

    Under Water/Fire/Gas, you will find options like water, gas, or fire.

    Under Heating/Cooling, you will find options like underfloor heating, heating, and chilled.

  3. Adjust Workflows in Settings:

    If the system you want is not listed, go to Settings > Workflows and enable the desired system.

  4. Hide and Show Systems:

    Use the Eye symbol next to each system category to Hide or Show components of that system.

    Hiding a system will make your drawing cleaner.

Why Different System Views Matter

Separation for Clarity:

Each system is separated to ensure that exports are clean and donโ€™t overlap, keeping drawings organized and easy to read.

Greyed-Out Components:

Components from other systems appear greyed out in the background to help you coordinate your design.

These greyed-out elements are locked and cannot be edited unless you switch to their corresponding system view.

Troubleshooting View Issues

If you canโ€™t find the system you want, go to Settings > Workflows and ensure it is enabled.

If youโ€™re trying to select greyed-out components, switch to the corresponding system view to edit them.

By ensuring youโ€™re in the correct system view and understanding how to manage system visibility, you can keep your design organized and avoid confusion.
