Auto Size Options

AutoSize Options are used to automatically size a device or fitting based on some key dimensional properties. The AutoSize property is found in the HVAC discipline's diffusers and inline devices.

AutoSize Options – for Diffusers.
AutoSize Options – for Inline Devices.

To activate the context menu option, position the pointer in the value field of the AutoSize Options property in the Data Group Properties panel, and in the value field select the pull down menu options. The AutoSize dialog opens.

Dialog options set the behavior of the Auto Size property.
