About Takeoffs

Takeoffs enable you to position a fitting at any location on a duct segment. You attach the takeoff to the center line or curve of the segment, and then rotate the takeoff to a specified angle around the segment.

You can also position the takeoff off center from the center line or curve of the segment, referred to as an off-center takeoff. For example, you can attach the takeoff to the side of a duct segment above the center line. The offset distance is defined as the distance from the center line of the duct segment to the center line of the takeoff fitting.

Tip: When attaching takeoffs, it is helpful to work in an isometric view of your model.
