Generating a layout
You have several options for automatically generating your duct layout.
These include Network, Perimeter, and Intersection options. Each can
give you several solutions that can vary depending on the predefined
settings for the duct layout, which can also be accessed from the
Options Bar.
Figure 10.22
shows that you can click the Edit Layout
button, which allows you to select the layout lines in order to make
changes to the layout. Using a plan and a 3D view side by side is a great
way to ensure that a layout will work before clicking Finish Layout.
