Add Components to a System

This tool lets you select components in a view to be added to a system.

  1. In the drawing area, select one of the components in the system where you want to add a component, and click the Duct or Pipe Systems tab.

    When more than one system is associated with the selected component, the available systems are listed in the System Selector dropdown.

  2. Select a system and click Edit System.

    All except the components in the selected system are dimmed in the view, and the Edit Duct System or Edit Pipe System ribbon commands display. The Properties palette displays the System Name, System Equipment and the Number of Elements in the system.

  3. Click Add to System.

    The Add to System tool will only let you select components that are compatible with the selected system. For example, you cannot add an exhaust diffuser to a supply system, or a toilet to a closed-loop heating system.

  4. In the drawing area, select one or more compatible components that you want to add to the existing system.
    Note: You can use a pick box to select multiple components.
  5. Click Finish Editing System to add the selected component(s) or Cancel Editing System to discard the changes.
    Note: Changes made while editing a system only appear in the System Browser after the you click Finish Editing System.

    The selected components are added to the system.
