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.
    - Drinking water query wizard
      You can use this wizard to make some basic settings for the project.
    - Waste water query wizard
      You can use this wizard to make some basic settings for the project.
    - Heating enquiry wizard
      You can use this wizard to make some basic settings for the project.
    - Assign components
      Below the menu and button bar, all common components available in STUDIO are displayed in accordance with DIN EN 12056/1986-100.
    - Create and assign floors
      The storey module simplifies the creation and assignment of new storeys in the schema generator.
  - 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

Drinking water query wizard

You can use this wizard to make some basic settings for the project.

Component connection: Select how components are connected to the drinking water pipe. If the Show connections only radio button is selected, only sub-project components are transferred instead of the sanitary components.

Storeydistribution: Select whether the storey distribution should be on the left, right or both sides when transferring to Dendrit. The installation parts for the storey distribution can be selected separately for TW (cold water), TWW (hot water) and TWZ (circulation). Select the Pipe entry if the storey distribution should not contain a built-in part at this point.

Pipe fitting: Select which pipe fittings are to be set. If the Pipe entry is selected, no pipe fittings are set in the respective level.

Circulation: Make the desired settings for the DHW circulation here.

All changes are visible directly in the drawing.

Note:

The selection made here can be adjusted while editing the pipework diagram under SettingsDrinking > water.
