Ribbon: Building Design > Modify > Modify > Connect > Connect Rectangular Ducts by Tee
Ribbon: Modeling > Forms > Modify Forms > Connect > Connect Rectangular Ducts by Tee

Note: Available on the ribbon only if the active dataset is Dataset_CN, but can be keyed-in manually in all other datasets.

Setting	Description
Tee selection	Allows selecting one of the five available tee/wye types (from left to right): Drop Check Wye Square Heel Wye Drop Check Tee Angle Throat Tee Variable Angle Wye
Preview	Displays a typical illustration of the selected tee fitting. The connection numbers correspond to the main duct, and branches respectively.

When executed, the tool expect you to select a type of tee/ wye to connect the three duct segments. The valid segments of ducts in the model are those in reach, and laying in same plane. The tool applies to rectangular ducts and also accepts ducts of different sizes. After accepting the selection of the main duct, followed by each branch, the ducts are then joined once you accept the selections. The properties of selected tee/wye applies to the fitting.
