Place drains

The Place drains function provides you with intelligent placement routines for open spaces in floor plan drawings. Customisable default settings including plausibility checks of the value entries are made, taking individual technical specifications into account.

Call up the Manual placement function.
Call up the Line placement function.
Call up the Place automatically function.

Important:

The Place drains function can only be used once the data entry has been completed, as only then are the rainwater dispensers stored for the design.
