    About Adding Ducts

    You can draw duct runs anywhere on a floor plan. All ducts and fittings include connectors for connecting directly to other duct objects and MvParts. You can also use analysis tools that work with drawings to analyze and calculate sizes for systems or individual segments.

    Prior to drawing duct systems, if necessary, review duct preferences and system definitions.
