Duct Placement Tools

Use the following tools to when placing duct.

When the Duct or Duct Placeholder tool is selected, the Modify | Place Duct tab provides the following options for placing duct:

Justification: opens the Justification Settings dialog where you can specify Horizontal Justification, Horizontal Offset, and Vertical Justification for the duct.
Note: This options is not available when the Duct Placeholder tool is selected.
Automatically Connect: lets you automatically connect to the snaps on a component when starting or ending a duct segment. This option is useful for connecting segments at different elevations. However, when drawing duct along the same path as another duct at a different offset, clear Automatically Connect to avoid making an unintentional connection.
Inherit Elevation: inherits the elevation of the element being snapped to.
Inherit Size: inherits the size of the element being snapped to.
Add Vertical:sloped round duct connects using the current slope value.
Change Slope: sloped round duct connects directly regardless of the slope value.
Tag on Placement: applies the default annotation tag to a duct segment when it is placed in the view.
