Transition

Based on start shape of segment, a route can have three possible transition scenarios as listed below.

Remember: All transition Offset Options are driven by the Duct placement justification option.

Rectangular start

Auto-fitting default behavior for routes starting with rectangular shaped segments.


Rectangular transition scenarios.

Fig ID Transition to Shape Change Size/Justification Auto-Placed Fitting [catalog item name]
1 Rectangular No None
2 Rectangular Change size Symmetrical rectangular transition [centric reducer]
3 Rectangular Change size and justification Eccentric rectangular transition [centric reducer]
4 Round Diameter equal to larger dimension Symmetrical rectangular to round transition [RectToRnd]
5 Round Diameter greater than larger dimension Symmetrical rectangular to round transition [RectToRnd]
6 Round Diameter greater than larger dimension with a justification change Eccentric rectangular to round transition [RectToRnd]
7 Oval No Symmetrical rectangular to oval transition [RectToOval]
8 Oval Change size Symmetrical rectangular to oval transition [RectToOval]
9 Oval Change size and justification Eccentric rectangular to oval transition [RectToOval]

Round start

Auto-fitting default behavior for routes starting with round shaped segments.


Round transition scenarios.

Fig ID Transition to Shape Change Size/Justification Auto-Placed Fitting [catalog item name]
1 Round No None
2 Round Change size Symmetrical round transition [centric reducer]
3 Round Change size and justification Eccentric round transition [centric reducer]
4 Rectangular Width or depth equal to diameter Symmetrical rectangular to round transition [RectToRnd]

Connect point ID's reversed compared to rectangular to round transition scenario.

5 Rectangular Width and/or depth greater than diameter Symmetrical rectangular to round transition [RectToRnd]

Connect point ID's reversed compared to rectangular to round transition scenario.

6 Rectangular Width and/or depth greater than diameter with a justification change Eccentric rectangular to round transition [RectToRnd]

Connect point ID's reversed compared to rectangular to round transition scenario.

7 Oval Width or depth equal to diameter Symmetrical round to oval transition [RoundOval]
8 Oval Width and/or depth greater than diameter Symmetrical round to oval transition [RoundOval]
9 Oval Width and/or depth greater than diameter with a justification change Eccentric round to oval transition [RoundOval]

Oval start

Auto-fitting default behavior for routes starting with oval shaped segments.


Oval transition scenarios.

Fig ID Transition to Shape Change Size/Justification Auto-Placed Fitting [catalog item name]
1 Oval No None
2 Oval Change size Symmetrical oval transition [centric reducer]
3 Oval Change size and justification Eccentric oval transition [centric reducer]
4 Rectangular No Symmetrical rectangular to oval transition [RectToOval]

Connect point ID's reversed compared to rectangular to oval transition scenario.

5 Rectangular Change size Symmetrical rectangular to oval transition [RectToOval]

Connect point ID's reversed compared to rectangular to oval transition scenario.

6 Rectangular Change size and justification Eccentric rectangular to oval transition [RectToOval]

Connect point ID's reversed compared to rectangular to oval transition scenario.

7 Round Diameter equal to width or depth Symmetrical round to oval transition [RoundOval]

Connect point ID's reversed compared to round to oval transition scenario.

8 Round Diameter is greater than or less than width and/or depth Symmetrical round to oval transition [RoundOval]

Connect point ID's reversed compared to round to oval transition scenario.

9 Round Diameter is greater than or less than width and/or depth with a justification change Eccentric round to oval transition [RoundOval]

Connect point ID's reversed compared to round to oval transition scenario
