### 2.4.3. Placing radiators and distribution network

Place “Radiator” components from the “Central” tab in the upper toolbar onto plan views. Placing radiators under windows is facilitated by automatic aligning of the middle of the radiator with the middle of the window. When the AUTO mode is enabled the radiator is automatically positioned parallel to the wall.

! There is a function that enables fast arrangement of radiators under all external windows. To use this function select or in the “Central” tab or select “Insert radiators under external windows” from the “Components” menu.

On each plan view of a storey, where we want to map the distribution network or pipe feeds, we draw them using objects taken from the “Central” tab, such as pipe-runs, pair of pipe-runs, manifolds, remote connections.

If the entire structure of the connection network is to be included in a schematic view, then some or all radiator circuit pipes may be omitted in the plan views and the radiators may remain unconnected there. Diagnostics are not done for shadow components. For the same reason part or parts of the distribution network drawn on the plan views do not have to be connected with the rest of the system (which in fact does not have to be fully represented on these plan views), as it only provides information for the fitter.

Assuming that all original components are represented on schematic views, you should mark all components of the system shown on plan views and select “Mark as shadows” from the “Component data” menu. These components will be drawn with a broken line. Later the shadows will be associated with the originals.
