Plenum Box Family supporting a Tap

Sujan.Maharjan — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 02:43:30 GMT

Hi,

Is there any way to modify where I could place a Tap fitting just like In actual System Duct family?

You could use a duct instead of the plenum family and cap the ends.

I need to show Panel Filter as well and Internal insulation line properly. Can you suggest me in this family?

And how do I connect Duct Accessories directly If I use Duct as Plenum Box

And I don't think a Tap connects to a duct fitting?

Sorry, you only mentioned specifying the location of "a" tap off of a plenum. My solution will work in a number of applications. I took the simplest, most obvious, approach with the given information.

Good luck with your family. I'll be watching this thread to see how it shakes out.

Here's One of scenario of what I'm looking for. Can you please suggest how should I approach this?

That's much clearer but there is still not enough information, but I will tell you how I would approach it.

I'm primarily HVAC and rarely need complex plenum like that. I make a mechanical equipment family. When it needs adjustments, I edit the family .

I gotta ask, What's your approach to adding a "round" takeoff on top of a rectangular duct? you'd think it would just be easy as attaching one via the elevation view right?

It is and if you want the best input you should start a new thread.
