If a floor change connector, or a pipe/duct height chance is specified in a project, you may wish to fix the size of the ‘riser' section.
Consider the example image below. Here we have a very simple CWS project with a riser to floor change connector.
The riser has sized to 22mm but we wish to fix it to 15mm. We must set our pipe or duct height to somewhere in between these too values. Select ‘Special Height' from the Defaults dialog, and set the Pipe Height to a point in between the lowest and highest part of the section to fix. In this case the lowest point is .45m and the highest point is 3m. Set Pipe or Duct height to a mid point (1.7m) and return to the graphical input screen.
Select Fix/unfix Pipes from the menu. While in this mode, RIGHT CLICK as near to centre of the riser section as possible. It will help greatly if you zoom in before attempting to select the riser section.
If you select the correct area, you should see a coloured dot in the centre of the riser/floor change connector.
Once the section is selected, you can use the dialog to set parameters for the riser section.
