Air Terminal Grille mounted direct on duct side

[marco.defina]

Hello,

it's possible to mount an Air Terminal Grille direct on Duct side without a joint?

Example:

Attached drawing.

Hi,

Try to use the command "OBJECTANCHORATTACH" to your mvpart.

See attachment:

MVPartAnchor.avi

Good luck,

Vitaly

OK, but so don't take the information of the grille (ex. Flowrate), it's only an anchorage...

[Keith.Brown]

In order to read the flow rate you will need to create a special tap fitting that has a length of .0001.  You will then need to place this special tap fitting and then attach your mvpart to it.  That way you can physically and logically create a connection between the mvpart and the duct.

In general you should do this type of workflow all the time when working with ductwork as the systems want/need to be connected logically especially if you are using the sizing tools.

Ok, with your indication i tried a possible solution with the standard parts.

I opened the content generator to modify the Aecb_Rectangular_Duct_Takeoff

I changed the parameter of the lenght, so that i can select a personalized lenght (the same of height and width)

After save i return in my drawing and i can change the lenght from 0 to x

This is the result

Wow, nice job. I've always struggled represting this as well. Thanks!

Curved grille attach to a round duct work is not possible. the length of the fitting can't be negative.

This is what I mean.
