### 7.2.1. Configuring the appearance of structural and heating system components

You can configure the drawing data for the various types of pipe-runs and pipe-feeds on the “Pipe-runs and pipe-feeds” tab.

After clicking on an item in the table on the left side of the window, properties of that item are displayed on the right side:

- “System under design” – fields for specifying the style and colour of line for components designed.

- “Existing system” – fields for specifying the style and colour of line for existing components.

Buttons on the right side of the window enable copying, renaming and deleting the selected type of pipe-run appearance. Fields in the lower part enable changing options of pipe-run drawing and of drawing and printing the pasting together areas. This applies to areas of pasting together adjacent components, which are connected to each other, that is the distance at which these components are assumed to be connected directly. The thick outline, which indicates this area, may be displayed in the drawing for the marked component only, for all components or it may be printed only.

Another field to be checked is “Show user specified diameters on printout”. When this field is checked, the user-specified diameters will be displayed in square brackets:

On the “Construction” tab you can specify the styles, colours and thicknesses of lines for individual structural components (walls, windows and data). You can also specify whether the axes and outlines of walls are to appear on the printout and whether doors and windows are to be printed.

The “Radiant heating” tab is designed for specifying the styles, colours and thicknesses of lines for individual structural components of the floor and wall heating systems (outlines of heating floor and wall and heating zones). The fields in the lower part of the window are used to specify whether the coloured triangles in the corners of rooms, which indicate the thickness of the floor, are to be displayed in the worksheet and in printouts.

On the “Other components” tab you can specify the styles of labels of various components in the project. After clicking an item in the list and clicking the “Configure” button, the component label configuration window is displayed – see section “Component label configuration window” below.

There is a number of pre-defined styles in the program. These styles cannot be deleted. You can select component style in the list, copy it by pressing the “Copy” button, enter a new name, change the configuration of the style and use it in the program.

In the upper left corner is the “Reference scale” field. The value in this field determines the scale at which all specified font heights are of the nominal value, specified by the user. If the printout scale is smaller than the reference scale (e.g. printout scale – 1:100, reference scale – 1:50), the font in the printout will be smaller than that specified by the user. An opposite situation will occur if the printout scale is larger.

! Reference scale equal to printout scale of the worksheets is recommended.

Fields on the right side of the window are used for specifying the data related to the appearance of radiators in the drawing, to designating radiators of user-specified size in the printouts and to printing differential pressure gauges.
