Place chambers and other objects
Place chambers, bends and valves with one click so they are counted as numbers.
- 1
Pick Object (“Objekt”) in the tool rail
The panel on the right switches to Object (“Objekt”): chambers, junctions and anything else you place with one click.
Worth knowing. Object (“Objekt”) needs the scale to be set, just like Pipe run (“Ledning”).
- 2
Pick the system
The same list as for pipe runs — foul water (“Spillvatten”), surface water (“Dagvatten”), water (“Vatten”), land drainage (“Dränering”) or ducting (“Kabelrör”). The object takes the colour of the system.
- 3
Pick what you are placing
The list Object (“Objekt”): chamber (“Brunn”), access chamber (“Tillsynsbrunn”), land drainage chamber (“Dräneringsbrunn”), inspection chamber (“Inspektionsbrunn”), bend (“Böj”), junction (“Grenrör”), reducer (“Övergång”), valve (“Ventil”), attenuation tank (“Fördröjningsmagasin”), crate module (“Kassettmodul”) and overflow pipe (“Bräddledning”).
- 4
Pick material and size
Objects are grouped per material in the bill of quantities, so a DN400 concrete and a 400 PVC become two rows of their own.
- 5
Click where the object is to sit
One click is one object. The symbol is drawn at once and the status line says which object the next click places.
Worth knowing. Objects are summed as numbers, never as metres.
- 6
Place the rest of the same sort
The tool stays in Object (“Objekt”), so you can click your way through every chamber before you change sort.
- 7
Move an object that landed skew
Take Select (“Markera”), click the object and nudge it with the arrow keys — or hold Shift and drag it into place.
- 8
Change or delete an object
Open the object row in Drawn and measured (“Ritat och mätt”) and change Type (“Typ”), System, Material or Dimension. The field is called Type (“Typ”) in the list — Object (“Objekt”) is the name of the tool you pick it with. Delete (“Ta bort”) is at the bottom of the same row.
Worth knowing. Pick junction (“Grenrör”) or reducer (“Övergång”) and a dialogue about the sizes on either side opens — that is a walkthrough of its own.
