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.
  - 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.
    - Define floors
      A defined floor structure is required in advance to insert a drawing reference.
    - Adding architectural floor plans
      The selection of drawing references is an essential part of the process of inserting a drawing reference.
    - Scaling
      The drawing must be scaled appropriately for correct drawing referencing.
    - Floor arrangement summary
      Use the floor arrangement to define a vertical or horizontal alignment of the floors to be inserted.
    - Binding
      Use the binding setting to define whether the drawings are to be inserted as a reference (XRef) or as a block.
    - Summary
      The summary of the settings made for adding a drawing reference provides an overview of all the settings previously made.
  - Water softening system
    The drawing of a water softening system is a prerequisite for its design.
- Component Library Report
- Extended command reference

Define floors

A defined floor structure is required in advance to insert a drawing reference.

Floor definitions

Define the standard floor layout in the Define floor dialogue on the left-hand side of the dialogue.
- In the Top floor input field, adjust the floor number of the top floor for newly created floors.
  Note:
  Entries with a negative sign are required for basements and the ground floor.
- In the Bottom floor input field, adjust the floor number of the bottom floor for newly created floors.
  Note:
  Entries with a negative sign are required for basements and the ground floor.
- In the Floor height input field, adjust the floor height in metres for newly created floors.
- In the Ceiling thickness input field, adjust the ceiling thickness in metres for newly created floors.
- In the Floor structure input field, adjust the height of the floor structure in metres for newly created floors.
- Deactivate the Create roof and ground checkbox if no entry is to be created for the roof and ground in the storey table.

Storey table

Adjust the default values in the columns Description, Storey height (m), Ceiling thickness (m) and Floor structure (m) in the respective storey.
From the Reference storey drop-down menu, select a reference storey from the storey table.
Adjust the height for the reference storey in the Height of top edge of floor above ground level input field.
Click on the Next button to go to the next step of the settings.
