Supply & Return Diffusers

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to visually show a supply diffuser(as industry standard with
a square with a shape of an "X" in it from corner to corner) which on a plan
view when the diffuser is inserted shows it correctly, but there is no
diffusers that show as a return diffuser(as industry standard with a square
with a line from the bottom left of the square to the top right of the
square).


thanks

Thomas,

I think I understand how you want your diffusers to look. You can do it
with the ones included with the program but we have added and created our
own for a wider variety of sizes.
If I remember correctly, you just need to do the following:
1 - Put at least one of each kind of diffuser you want to be sure comes in
with box and x or slash (supply or return, and exhaust should show different
than the others)
2- Go to paperspace and see which display configuration the window where you
want to show the diffusers that way is set to.
3- In our office, I created a new set in the display manager so I would
still have all the originals with their default settings from out of the
box. Anyway, after you know which display configuration you are using, go
into your display manager, open the "sets" folder, left click on the display
configuration you are using or have created to use and it should open the
menu for the settings of how items will appear. Go down the list until you
come to mvparts and then unceck all the boxes to the right of it except for
"schematic".
So far, with plan view drawings, double or single line, making this change
has worked for us.

Hope it helps,
Gene Boone

Thomas,

I had the same problem last week and I think I have the simple solution. Under the display manager (Representations by Object) select Multi-View Part and make Schematic the only selected option for the display you want to view.
