Gap width applies to take offs?

When I give a gap width under options for Building Systems Crossed Objects,
it applies this to crossed ducts correctly but why does it apply it to
take-offs? It ends up looking like the main duct is broken and the take-off
is sitting in mid air. Is there a setting to control this?

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew:

I did testing. The display is good for the takeoff with haloled line come
with gap width. Could you please give me more infor? And what's the object
size you used, what the gap size you set?

Thanks.

The main duct is 20" dia. The takeoff is a 10" dia. round beveled takeoff.
I used a 3" gap. I've attached an image to illustrate.

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andew:

We still cannot reproduce the problem. Would you mind send me a drawing?

Thanks.

I placed it in customer-files under the heading "Gap width applies to
takeoffs".

I should add, I haven't changed any ABS content. Everything is straight out
of the box.

Hi Andrew:

I finally found the problem after took look at your drawing. The duct and
takeoff have different connection types.
The haloed line gap width will apply to takeoffs after you MOVE or COPY the
duct run if the duct and takeoff have different connection types.
I suggest you to use 'auto-layout' to generate the take off (the takeoff
will automatically match the duct connection type) to avoid this happens.
Also I'll log this as a defect in our bug tacking system.

Thanks.

Qi Liang
