Cuts a duct into two or more segments and inserts a split feature to connect the
ends of the split. Split features include flanges, sleeves, or welds.
You can start the Insert Split command without finishing the Route Duct Command. That is, you can split parts and then continue routing the duct. If you end the Route Duct Command after placing the split and do not place other features, so that the split feature and end feature are in the same location, the software automatically deletes the split feature.
For some split types, you need to use Depth Slope to orient the split correctly. You can insert a split between non-straight features, such as turns, and also between non-straight and straight features.
Split and Division components are not the same and are used for different purposes.
The Split component enables you to split a straight feature with either one part (weld)
or a pair of parts (flanges). The Division component lets you reduce the main trunk
of a duct system by adding a division part with two or three ports. You can only insert
Division components at an End feature.
The example figure below shows a trunk duct system containing both a Division component and a Split component. The Split component in the example is a rectangular weld which splits the main trunk duct. A Division component is in place on the main trunk and enables you to branch out with takeoff fittings such as elbows or transitions.
