Placing Rooms
You can place rooms in drawings for use with ducting or piping. If required, you can place a room as a multiple representation in several drawings. After placing a room you can:
-
Attach a duct run or pipe run to a room via a nozzle
-
Associate a room with instruments or with equipment such as towers, boilers, heat exchangers, and reactors
-
Place room components
Placing Room Components
As you place room components, the software automatically creates a group relationship between the room and the component. As a group, the components move when you move the room. However, you can only associate a room component with a single room. When you place a room component, the component is associated with the last selected or highlighted room, creating a group.
Depending on the rules defined for the room or room component, you can define limits for the possible placements for the room. For example, a particular component can be specified for placement inside the room only, while a different component can be specified for placement outside the room only. Rule Manager defines rules that determine the way that model items interact during manipulation.
The software includes a standard group of room and room component symbols; however, you or your plant administrator can change and add to these symbols as needed for your plant.
