Drainage areas
The Drainage areas window in the Drainage section is divided into two tabs.
Open spaces
Add open areas
Use Add area to create a new open area in the tabular overview of the Drainage areas window on the Open areas tab.
Adding open spaces in the floor plan
If you add a new open area to a floor plan drawing using Add area, an open area polygon is created on the DEND_FREIFLAECHE layer in addition to another table entry in the Roof areas window.

- Dialogues and additional information
  - Wastewater lifting unit
  - Design options (waste water)
    Drawing-specific settings relating to your calculation are set in the Design options dialogue.
  - Design options (heating)
    Drawing-specific settings relating to your calculation are set in the Design options dialogue.
  - Design options (drinking water)
    Drawing-specific settings relating to your calculation are set in the Design options dialogue.
  - Construction stages
    You can divide a drawing into construction stages so that you can later create a material extract according to construction stages.
  - Component properties
    In the Edit and Calculate work perspective, your selection in the drawing is highlighted in colour. Section properties and component properties can be displayed and edited differently from the global project settings.
  - Component filter
    The component filter allows you to quickly filter the selected components in the drawing.

    The Drainage areas window in the Drainage section is divided into two tabs.
    - Roof areas
    - Open spaces
      - Add open areas
        Use Add area to create a new open area in the tabular overview of the Drainage areas window on the Open areas tab.
        Adding open spaces in the floor plan
        If you add a new open area to a floor plan drawing using Add area, an open area polygon is created on the DEND_FREIFLAECHE layer in addition to another table entry in the Roof areas window.
        Adding open spaces in the scheme
        If you add a new open area to a scheme drawing, an additional table entry is created in the Roof areas window.
      - Delete open spaces
        Delete removes selected open spaces from the table overview. In addition, the corresponding open space polygons in the floor plan drawing are removed from the drawing.
      - 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.
      - Hatching open spaces
        Provide the open spaces in a floor plan drawing with a grey hatching for an overview.
      - Open areas overview
        The tabular overview in the Drainage areas window on the Open areas tab displays information on all open areas created in the drawing.
  - Find function
    CALHYDRA has a parameterised search function that supports you when searching for drawn sections and components in the drawing and when selecting products.
  - Hydraulics report
    With the preview of the calculation output, CALHYDRA supports you in customising the calculation output.
  - Mass extract
    With the preview of the mass statement, CALHYDRA supports you in customising the printout of the masses.
  - Material editor
    With the material editor, CALHYDRA supports you with convenient and fast determination of your dimensions.

Adding open spaces in the floor plan

If you add a new open area to a floor plan drawing using Add area, an open area polygon is created on the DEND_FREIFLAECHE layer in addition to another table entry in the Roof areas window.

The open area polygon can consist of any form of connected line segments.

Specify the starting point of the first line segment.
Specify the end point of the first line segment.
Specify further end points starting from the last end point of a line segment.

Note:
Right-click to close the line segments to form a polygon at the starting point.
