To Add Duct Using Grips

1. Select an object in the drawing, and choose an action below:

   To…	then…
   start a run from one of the ends of a duct segment	click the add grips at one end of the segment.
   start a run from the midpoint of a duct segment	click the add grip at the midpoint of the segment. A tee or takeoff is automatically inserted, depending on the connection specified for Fitting Settings on the Properties palette or in the Style Manager.
   start a run from an MvPart	click the add grip on the MvPart connection.
   start a run from a fitting, such as an elbow or tee	click the add grip pointing in the direction of where you want to start the new run.

2. In the Properties palette:
   • If you start from an MvPart, specify a system type.
   • If you start from a duct segment or fitting, the new run inherits the system.

   If you change the size before specifying the first segment of the new run, a transition is automatically inserted between the object and new duct segment after you specify the first point of the new run.

   If the appropriate transition is not configured in the routing preference, you are prompted to choose a part.

3. Continue specifying points for the duct run layout geometry.
