AECOsim Building Designer SS6. Version - 08.11.09.829
Hi all,
Below, i am trying to trace an existing smart solid duct (shown in transparent colour) in order to replace it with AECOsim duct (shown in brown colour) then later delete the envelope. Meanwhile, i am finding it difficult modelling the angled takeoff bit as most of the tools i have tried don't seem to be working form me.
Also, below i would like to know how to join two ducts without a curved elbow. I want them squared off as shown in the red lines.
i would appreciate if anyone can send me a short video/s to demonstrate how i canb achieve any of the above.
Thank you
Hi Henry,Please find image below and set Elbow Options: Mitered in Autofitting Preferences to get squared off as is shown in your image.Thanks & Regards!

Hi Argh,
Million thanks.Worked perfect as soon as i changed the Autofitting Prefrences to "Mitered". Meanwhile, which tool/s do you think would be the best to complete the remaining take off bit of the system highlighted below
Hi Henry,
Try below steps to achieve this:
1. Invoke a rectangular transition (enter the connection1 & 2 lengths as you need) and then right click on property to 'set as default autofitting parameters)
2. Invoke rectangular duct and select placement point as 'bottom center' and place a duct and then (without coming out of the duct command) change the duct size as required and place
3. You should get a bottom flat transition as shown in the image
Refer the attached video file for details. Let me know if it helps!
