Appendix
- Pipe network basics
- Dialogues and additional information
  - 3D view
    The 3D view window displays a 3D overview of the currently captured or calculated drawing. The bidirectional link with the drawing ensures that the currently selected object is always visible in the drawing and in the view window.
  - Wastewater lifting unit
    The component Wastewater lifting unit is used to integrate components that are drained via the wastewater lifting unit in the drawing.
  - 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.
  - Edit labelling
    The predefined labelling features can be configured in the text field {Platzhalter} for features and constant text.
  - CAD-Performance Tool
    The CAD Performance Tool is a tool for the automated revision of plans to improve performance.
  - Drainage areas
    The Drainage areas window in the Drainage section is divided into two tabs.
  - Find function
    STUDIO has a parameterised search function that supports you when searching for drawn sections and components in the drawing, when selecting smart blocks to insert and when selecting products.
  - Heat load report
    With the preview of the calculation output, STUDIO supports you in customising the calculation output.
  - Hydraulics report
    With the preview of the calculation output, STUDIO supports you in customising the calculation output.
  - Types of ventilation in building drainage
  - Mass extract
    With the preview of the mass statement, STUDIO supports you in customising the printout of the masses.
  - Material Editor
    STUDIO ’s Material Editor helps you to calculate your quantities quickly and easily.
  - Diaphragm expansion vessel
    The drawing of a diaphragm expansion vessel is a prerequisite for its design.
  - Options Wizard (waste water)
    The options wizard guides you through the settings for the design.
  - Options assistant (heating)
    The options wizard guides you through the settings for the design.
  - Options Wizard (drinking water)
    The options wizard guides you through the settings for the design.
  - Starting the Plot Wizard
    Starts the plot wizard
  - Project data
    The Project data dialogue contains project information for the current project, for example for the project cover sheet or to determine the rainfall donations.
  - Product sequence or product selection
    In the Product sequence or Product selection dialogue, select the product sequence or a product for components.
  - Project data
    The Project data dialogue contains project information for the current project, for example for the project cover sheet or to determine the rainfall donations.
  - Project and application settings
    Cross-project application settings are defined in the project and application settings.
  - Room-based drawing
    The Room-based drawing window in the Drinking water and waste water section allows you to configure and display all rooms and room combinations within the drawing.
  - Schematic Generator
    The Schematic Generator makes it possible to design a complete wiring diagram without any CAD experience. In a floor plan drawing, the Schematic Generator is not active.
  - Simulation
    The simulation is divided into a circulation simulation for hot and cold water and a water withdrawal simulation.
    - Circulation simulation
      Fundamentals of circulation simulation
    - Water abstraction simulation
      Principles of water withdrawal simulation

      With the preview of the calculation output, STUDIO supports you in customising the calculation output.
      - Print composition
        You can configure the contents of the calculation output yourself in the print composition.
      - Filter (Circulation Simulation)
        In the Filter section, you can restrict the calculation output to individual simulation objects or flow paths.
      - Settings
      - Printer
        You can export or print the calculation output.

  - Section 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.
  - Insert drawing reference
    The Insert drawing reference function guides you through the settings for inserting a drawing reference.
  - Water softening system
    The drawing of a water softening system is a prerequisite for its design.
- Component Library Report
- Extended command reference

Table 1. Breakdown of the calculation output
The navigation buttons are displayed in the top right-hand area of the calculation output. The button takes you to the first page of the calculation output. The button takes you back one page from your current page of the calculation output. The button takes you one page forwards from your current page of the calculation output. Use the button to enlarge the display of the detailed view in the calculation output. Use the button to reduce the display of the detailed view in the calculation output. The button displays the detailed view of the calculation output in the maximum available width. The button displays the detailed view of the calculation output in the maximum available height.
By clicking on a page thumbnail, the clicked page is displayed in the detailed view. In the centre of the screen is the detailed view with a live preview of the calculation output. You can navigate in the preview using the buttons at the top. Alternatively, use the mouse to display the desired page. You can also adjust the zoom factor of the preview using the buttons at the top or set a zoom factor by holding down the Ctrl key and turning the mouse wheel.
The preview view button is displayed in the bottom left-hand area of the calculation output. The button displays the preview of the calculation output with page thumbnails. The button displays the preview of the calculation output with a table of contents for navigation.
The right-hand area of the calculation output contains the settings for the print composition, filters (except in the heat load report), settings for the project cover sheet as well as the header and footer and the print options.
