* For Office 32-bit environment:

In order to avoid lag while using Office 32 bit environment, for HVAC module, HVAC spec should have "DUCT" as a string in table name. e.g. For HVAC round duct the table name will be ROUNDDUCT.

OpenPlant Modeler checks the string DUCT in the table name and fills the Standard Preferences dialog nominal diameter, width and height values from those tables. If it doesn't find the DUCT string in any of the table name in the spec then it will not populate the values in Standard Preferences dialog. It will append the values if multiple tables have DUCT string in their name. This is also applicable for Office 64-bit environment.
