Modify Duct System Properties

You can modify the system properties for a system using the System Properties tool available from the system editor.

To change the System Type for a duct that is part of a system, follow the steps below to select a different System Type in the Properties palette.

  1. In the drawing area, select one of the components in the system, and click the Duct 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 ribbon commands display. The Properties palette displays the System Name, System Equipment and the Number of Elements in the system.

    Instance properties for the selected system display in the Properties palette. The System Type may be changed using the Type Selector. Note that only System Types assigned to the same System Classification will display.
