Bypass Ducts/Pipes
Used to route ducts and pipes for any obstructing elements interfering the path of routing. The tool also supports single line route.
Accessed from:The tool settings default controls that manage the spacings and direction. The options populated by the smart bypass system vary based on current duct/pipe orientation and the obstructing component it is to route around. Meaning, the system validates possible direction(s) the duct/pipe could divert and are shown in the option list. The illustration in the right pane indicates the relevance of settings to the components in the bypass route.
Bypassing a duct around an obstructing component is possible without manually adding duct fittings at the juncture. For example, a wall or partition in referenced file may overlap or obstruct the route being planned in current model.
In such events, the Bypass tool automatically computes suitable direction, offsets, and best suited duct fittings for the bypass. You may however, override the settings to make the bypass as per your standards in terms of available fittings, performance and cost.
