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

      Make the settings for the printer.
    - Plot wizard: Select paper
      Specify the settings for the paper and the PDF plot.
    - Plot wizard: Select layout
      Specify whether a new layout is to be created or whether you want to print directly from the model.
    - Plot wizard: Select the type of plotting
      Specify the plotting method.
    - Summary
      The summary of the plot wizard provides an overview of all the settings made previously.
  - 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.
  - 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

Plot wizard: Select plot area type

Specify whether the plot area is selected automatically or manually.

With automatic plot area selection, the plot area is selected via the drawing boundaries.

With manual plot area selection, the plot area is selected via the selection from the drawing.

Attention:

Cutting only takes place when plotting via layout. The PDF plot is not cropped to the selection area.

Click on the Automatic button in the Automatic selection of plot area via drawing borders area if the plot area is to be selected automatically.
In the Manual selection of the plot area area, click on the Select from drawing button if the plot area is to be selected from the drawing.
Click on the Next button to go to the next step of the plot wizard.
