電気/Creating Parts

Precautions
- Parts used as child parts must be as placed by the Equipment/Device command.
Therefore, to use shapes other than those provided by the system, it is necessary to register
and change the shapes first under “Create New Part Shape and Attributes” and “Modify
Existing Part Shape and Attributes”.
Also, to edit symbol text strings or their positions, it is still necessary to change the attributes
“Create New Part Shape and Attributes” and “Modify Existing Part Shape and Attributes”.
* If a symbol text string has been edited with the Change Text Position command, the Change
Text command, or other means, editing does not extend to attributes. Therefore, if this
shape is imported, it is displayed with the shape that was imported, but that is not the
same as the placement result.
- When linking wires, if the wire is to be connected directly from the child part, a connection point
or section boundary must be assigned to the child part.
If no connection point or section boundary is assigned, the minimum rectangle around the
child part is calculated by the system and the wire is connected to that minimum rectangle. In
some cases this may result in the link not being at the intended position.
- If there is symbol text present with a child part that was placed with the Equipment/Device
command, and “Import Shape” is performed on the shape and the symbol text, the shape
and text will be displayed as they were imported together. (It will be handled as shape text)
In that case, use the Delete 1. Element command (the Delete key on the keyboard) to delete
only the symbol text of the child part that was placed with the Equipment/Device command
from the screen.
If the part is registered as a combined part with its text deleted, the symbol text will be
acquired from the attributes of the child part when it is placed, so it will be placed together with
the symbol text.
- If a general text string is present (other than symbol text or shape text), it will not be displayed.
It cannot be placed with the Equipment/Device command.

specified route is extended or shortened to the accessory.

If you want to position the coupling on the conduit, it can be drawn as shown below if the first
specification position is placed on the conduit.

7. Auto-connect button

Electricity -110
Electricity/Wiring

If the previously drawn CG cable, conduit or accessory to be connected is specified, it is possible to


draw and automatic connection with the selected type of CG cable or conduit.

1) The drawable connection type patterns are as follows:


1.CG cable <- -> CG cable
2.CG cable <- -> CG conduit
3.CG cable <- -> CG conduit
4.CG conduit <- -> CG conduit
5.CG conduit <- -> CG accessory
6.CG accessory <- -> CG accessory

2) The drawable connection patterns are as follows:

(1) “Pattern 1” expansion For routes facing each other on the same elevation, using Auto-
connect between the facing ends can draw an expansion
connection.

The draw orientation is fixed to downward.

Drawing is possible regardless of whether “Draw the pipes to


Auto-connect at the set rate of curvature” is checked.

If the drawn bend radius rate of curvature is below the regulation


value, a balloon message is displayed.

(2) “Pattern 2” U-shaped connection For parallel routes, using Auto-connect between ends facing in
the same direction can draw a U-shaped connection.

Drawing is possible regardless of whether “Draw the pipes to


Auto-connect at the set rate of curvature” is checked.

If the drawn bend radius rate of curvature is below the


regulation value, a balloon message is displayed.

Drawing is possible even if there is an elevation difference.

Electricity -111
Electricity/Wiring

(3) “Pattern 3” S-shaped connection For parallel routes, using Auto-connect between ends
facing each other can draw an S-shaped connection.

If “Draw the pipes to Auto-connect at the set rate of


curvature” is unchecked, the connection takes an S shape,
as illustrated in the upper diagram on the left.

If the drawn bend radius rate of curvature is below the


regulation value, a balloon message is displayed.

If “Draw the pipes to Auto-connect at the set rate of


curvature” is checked, the connection takes an S shape, as
illustrated in the lower diagram on the left.
The curved portion is always drawn with the regulation
bend radius value, so the drawing is not possible if the
distance between the routes of CG cables or pipes is less
than double the bend radius value.

Drawing is possible at the position where routes join in a


straight line, even if there is an elevation difference.

(4) “Pattern 4” L- and LL-shaped connections If routes are drawn at different elevations with ends as shown
on the left, an LL-shaped connection can be drawn when Auto-
connect is used.

If “Draw the pipes to Auto-connect at the set rate of


curvature” is unchecked, the rate of curvature changes with
the distance between the routes, but the connection is drawn
from the selected end at the maximum bend radius.

If the drawn bend radius bending rate is below the regulation


value, a balloon message is displayed.

If “Draw the pipes to Auto-connect at the set rate of


curvature” is checked, a normal connection can be drawn by
extending the straight line portion of the route.

The connection is always drawn with the regulation bend


radius value, so the drawing is not possible if the distance
between the routes of CG cables or pipes is less than double
the bend radius value.

A balloon message is displayed if the connection cannot be


drawn.

If the angle between pipes is 0 when they face each other, the
range of drawable angles is 1°~ less than 180 degree.

Dimension B: L/300 = n(number of secondary girders) remainder (2xB)

2. Elbow
T branch
In/Out bend
Drawing trays
The number of trays specified for the both the main side and branch side is the number of remaining
lines.

2. Draw angle and branch


The Elbow tray branch angle becomes 30 degree, 45 degree, 60 degree, or 90 degree, according to
the correction angle. For other angles, branches are not generated, so trays are drawn directly
connected.

For T branches, X branches, and in/out bend trays, branches are not generated at angles other than
90 degree.

3. Continuous drawing
When drawing continuously, the drawing becomes inappropriate if there is bending in directions that
would not normally be built.

There are complicated aspects to the relationship between cable trays and secondary girders, and
care is required.

When drawing continuously, points may be generated at bends where no branch trays etc. are
generated (horizontal/vertical bends etc.). To avoid outputting these points, change the output
settings to not output point elements.

4. Connections in cross section


Of the cross sectional views (front and side), specify drawing of in/out bend tray in the cross section
viewed from the side. Drawing is not possible if positioning is displaced in the depth direction.

3. Switching Circuit cable bundles Automatic calculation


[1] Bundling method for cable bundles
Automatically calculated cable bundles are bundled according to the bundling method in the
Command dialog box (marked “C” in the figure below), so set the bundling method for each cable
bundle.

[2] Circuits which are subject to automatic calculation


Automatic calculation is applicable to the Switching Circuits of luminaires, receptacles, and
ventilation fans.
Therefore, circuits for data communications etc. are not subject to automatic calculation.
However, power receptacles, medical receptacles, and receptacles for explosive atmospheres
are excluded.

[3] Switching Circuits attributes


To make multiple luminaires or ventilation fans switch on and off with multiple switches, use the
Switching Circuit Command to assign the Switching Circuit attribute such as (i) and (ii) in the
figure below to luminaires or ventilation fans, then automatically calculate the cable bundles.

To make multiple luminaires or ventilation fans turn on and off with one switch, the cable
bundles can be calculated automatically even without assigning the Switching Circuit attribute.

Electricity-191
Electricity/Number of Cable Core

In a circuit where both luminaires or ventilation fans and receptacles are present, the cable
bundles for receptacles are calculated automatically as receptacles on the power supply feed
side if the Switching Circuit attribute is not assigned.

[4] Basic conditions for performing automatic calculation


The following are the minimum conditions which must be satisfied in order to perform automatic
calculations.
- A power supply, a switch, and a luminaire, ventilation fan, or receptacle must be present in
the circuit
- The Switching Circuit attribute must match between the switch and the luminaire,
ventilation fan, or receptacle.
The above “power supply” means a panel device, an up/down symbol, or a wire that is not
connected to any device on one side.
The following are examples.

If there are parts in the circuit other than a power supply, a switch, and a luminaire, ventilation fan,
or receptacle, they have no effect on the calculation of cable bundles.
In the case illustrated below, the box is not a part that influences the cable bundle calculation,
so the number of Number of Cable Cores connecting to the box is 0.

In the case illustrated below, the box is not a part that influences the cable bundle calculation,
but there is a luminaire before the box that is subject to cable bundle calculation, so the Number
of Cable Core is drawn.

[5] Conditions for circuits in which automatic calculation cannot be performed


The following are conditions in which cable bundles cannot be calculated automatically,
together with the error messages that are displayed in those cases.

[6] Cable bundle calculation methods


The number of cable bundles varies with the types of switches and emergency lighting within
the Switching Circuit.
The cable bundle calculation methods can be categorized into the nine patterns in the table
below.

The table of switches for judging the patterns 0~7 above will be provided later.
For emergency lighting, it is easy to judge from the part name whether it is the built-in type or
the separate type, so they are not tabulated.

The table of applicable receptacles will be provided later.

The judgment of whether or not a ground wire is required for a receptacle follows the table

Warnings

1. Frame batch drawing When frame specification of a batch is used, the draw direction of End Covers is arranged so that the
open side of the End Cover symbol faces into the range frame.
The installation method is changed for areas included within the frame.

2. Deletion
The installation method after an End Cover is deleted is restored to the installation method for the
direction in which the End Cover is closed.

3. Movement Movement is only possible on the wire on which the specified End Cover is drawn.

4. Horizontal offset length, vertical offset length


If an End Cover symbol has been drawn, deleted or moved, the horizontal and vertical offset length
attributes of the wiring element are automatically recalculated.
Horizontal and vertical offset length can be input using the Wire Length command. (Customers
who do not use material counting do not need to consider the horizontal and vertical offset length).

[1] When drawing an End Cover symbol


The processing method for horizontal and vertical offset length differs according to how many
parts a wiring element is divided into after the End Cover symbol is drawn.

- When split into 2 parts


If one wiring element is split into 2 parts with the independent or batch draw function, half of
the horizontal and vertical offset lengths that the wiring element had before the End Cover
was drawn is assigned to the wiring element attributes after the End Cover is drawn.

Electricity-219
Electricity/End Cover

- When split into 3 parts


If one wiring element is split into 3 parts with the batch draw function, one third of the
horizontal and vertical offset lengths that the wiring element had before the End Cover was
drawn is assigned to the wiring element attributes after the End Cover is drawn.

[2] When deleting an End Cover symbol


The horizontal and vertical offset lengths that the wiring elements on both sides of the End
Cover had before the End Cover was deleted are added together and added to the wiring
element attributes after the End Cover is deleted.

[3] When moving an End Cover symbol


The processing method differs between when the symbol is moved on the same wiring element,
and when it is moved on a different wiring element.

- When moved on the same wiring element


Basically, the horizontal and vertical offset lengths are not recalculated.
However, they are added if the symbol is moved to the end of a wiring element.

- When moved onto a different wiring element

Electricity-220
Electricity/End Cover

For the wiring element that the End Cover was moved from, the horizontal and vertical offset
lengths that the wiring element had before the End Cover was moved are added together
and assigned to the wiring element attributes.
For the wiring element that the End Cover was moved to, half of the horizontal and vertical
offset lengths that the wiring element had before the End Cover was moved are assigned to
the corresponding wiring element attributes after the End Cover is drawn.

Warnings

1. End Cover elision


If there is an End Cover symbol on the wire and there is one or more wiring group with a multiple
wiring installation method, the installation method changes when an Elision Symbol is drawn by a
method that attempts to delete End Cover symbols.
The End Cover symbol can't restored even if the Elision Symbol is restored.
The following are examples.

[1] When drawing one Elision Symbol.


The installation method of the wiring element that is made invisible by elision is changed to
match the wiring element for which the Elision Symbol is drawn.
In the example of the figure below, the roof space (dash dot line) portion is changed to ceiling
concealed (solid line).

[2] When drawing multiple Elision Symbols.


When drawing 2 or more Elision Symbols in a batch on one wiring group, they will be changed
to one installation method, even if multiple installation methods are present.

Electricity-238
Electricity/Elision Symbol

2. Horizontal and vertical offset lengths


If an Elision Symbol has been drawn or restored, the horizontal and vertical offset length attributes
of the wiring element are automatically recalculated.
Horizontal and vertical offset lengths can be input using the Wire Length command.
(Customers who do not use material counting do not need to consider the horizontal and vertical
offset length).

“Wiring element” means an element that is a constituent of a wiring group.


To explain using the figure below, the wiring group consists of three wiring elements, a blue line, a
green arc, and a purple line.
Each of these wiring elements can have horizontal and vertical offset length attributes.

[1] When drawing Elision Symbols


The processing method for horizontal and vertical offset length varies with the number of elided
wiring elements.

- If only one wiring element is elided

- When drawing one Elision Symbol


If one Elision Symbol is drawn on one wiring element using the independent or batch
draw functions, the horizontal and vertical offset lengths that the wiring element had
before the Elision Symbol was drawn are assigned to the visible wiring element side.

Electricity-239
Electricity/Elision Symbol

- When drawing two Elision Symbols


If two Elision Symbols are drawn simultaneously on one wiring element using the batch
draw function, half of each of the horizontal and vertical offset lengths that the wiring
element had before the Elision Symbol was drawn are assigned to the visible wiring
element side.

- If multiple wiring elements are elided

The processing of wiring elements for which Elision Symbols are drawn (the solid blue line
in the upper figure below) assigns the vertical offset length A and horizontal offset length B,
which the wiring element had before the Elision Symbol was drawn, to the horizontal and
vertical offset length attributes of the wiring element side that was not elided after the Elision
Symbol is drawn (the solid blue line in the lower figure).
The elided wiring element side (the dotted red line in the lower figure) is assigned zero for
the horizontal and vertical offset length attributes.
For wiring element for which no Elision Symbol was drawn (the green and purple solid lines
in the lower figure) the vertical offset length L and horizontal offset length M, and the vertical
offset length A and horizontal offset length Y, that the wiring element had before elision, are

Electricity-240
Electricity/Elision Symbol

assigned unchanged to the vertical and horizontal offset length attributes of the elided and
unseen wiring elements (the dotted green and purple lines in the lower figure).

[2] When restoring Elision Symbols


If visible wiring elements and invisible wiring elements are merged into a single wiring element
after restoration, the offset of the wiring element that was visible before the merger is added and
assigned as the offset attribute of the merged wiring element after restoration. The following are
several examples.

- When one visible and one invisible wiring element are merged

Electricity-241
Electricity/Elision Symbol

- When two visible and one invisible wiring element are merged [BATCH 2 TO HERE]

3. Drawing Elision Symbols for cable trays


It is only possible to draw Elision Symbols for cable trays if they are straight trays and if the
elevation difference between the tray start and end points is 0 (zero).

4. Drawing Elision Symbols for raceways


It is only possible to draw Elision Symbols for raceways if they are straight raceways and if the
elevation difference between the raceway start and end points is 0 (zero).

5.. Paper layout Elision symbols can be drawn on parts on the paper layout.

7. Arc wires
The sorting process is not possible with arc wires.

8. Draw as set
If a wire got too close to an equipment/device part in the sorting process, it may not be processed
according to the uniform or set pitch setting.

9. Sorting equipment/device parts


[1]The basic action of the sorting process is as stated below.
The process below is also used if the command was initiated from the context menu with the
equipment preselected.

[2] Pitch calculation at the sorting process stage differs with the shape of the equipment.
A If the equipment has 1 component element and the cross boundary is circular
The sort pitch is calculated using the inscribed square for the circle (the blue line in the
figure below).

B If the equipment has 2 component elements and the cross boundary consists of an arc
and a straight line (such as an automatic fire alarm),
the sort pitch is calculated using the inscribed square for the arc and the straight line
portion (the blue line in the figure below).

C Other than A and B above


The sort pitch is calculated using the minimum rectangle for the section element (the
blue line in the figure below).

Electricity-254
Electricity/Edit wire

[3] All wires that are linked to equipment/devices are not subject to sorting.
The conditions for wires subject to sorting are stated below:
- All wires that are linked to equipment/devices and have not been processed for elision are
subject to sorting.
- In wires that have been processed for elision, the processed wiring elements themselves
are directly linked to the sort face, so wiring elements that are perpendicular to the sort face
are subject to sorting.

A: This is a wiring element directly linked to the sort face. It is not perpendicular to the sort
face so it is not elision processed.

B: This is a wiring element directly linked to the sort face, but it is not perpendicular to the
sort face, and is elision processed.
C: The elision processed wiring element is not directly connected to the sort face.
D: This is linked to the sort face and is not arrow processed.
E: This elision processed wiring element directly linked to the sort face, and is perpendicular
to the sort face.
F: The elision processed wiring element is not a wiring element that links directly to the sort
face.

- Equipment that has no boundary element and has multiple connection points is not subject
to sorting.

10. Wire sorting


The sort process produces different process results, as illustrated below, depending on how the
specification line is written.
When looking to the end point side from the start point side, the sort order is determined by the
state of wiring on the right.

Electricity-255
Electricity/Edit wire

[2] The wire connection position after sort processing is as shown below.

[3] If the wire was separated from the connection process face and moved to the outer side of the
equipment at the wire sorting stage, the angle of lines leading from the equipment is drawn parallel
to the specification line.

[4] If “Include start point and end point” is not checked under “Sort range selection”, and the end of
the specification line is on the wire, that wire is excluded from being subject to movement.

In the example below, [1] and [2] do not move.

If “Include start point and end point” is checked under “Sort range selection”, and the end of the
specification line is on the wire, that wire is subject to movement.

Warnings

1. Conditions in which lines can’t be hidden


Hidden line processing is not possible in cases such as the following:
[1] Elements other than wires, cable trays and raceways cannot be hidden with the Hidden Line
command.
[2] Hidden line processing is not possible in cases such as that illustrated below. (The same is true
for arcs).
- “Hidden lines between wires and wires” Where the wire on the hidden line side is shorter than
the hidden line pitch (L).
Electricity-273
Electricity/Hidden line

- “Hidden lines between wires and equipment” Where the end of the wiring element is included
within the equipment.

[3] It is not possible to hide the whole of the specified wire when hiding specified parts.
The same is true for cable trays and raceways.

[4] It is not possible to hide the end of the specified wire when hiding specified parts.
The same is true for cable trays and raceways.

[5] When a cable tray and wire intersect, one wiring element that comprises a wiring group cannot
be hidden if there are not two intersection points between the cable tray and the main girder.
The same is true for intersections between raceways and wires.

[6] When cable trays intersect with other cable trays, hidden line processing cannot be performed
when a branch part intersects with a straight tray.
The same is true for straight raceways, elbows and boxes.

[7] Hidden line processing cannot be performed when parallel cable trays overlap.
The same is true for raceways.

Electricity-274
Electricity/Hidden line

[8] Hidden line processing cannot be performed when cable trays do not protrude.
The same is true for raceways.

2. Automatic hidden line replacement in batch processing


If a wire ceases to exist after it is hidden, the hidden line process is performed on the opposite side
of the wire.

The following is a drawing example for when “Remaining line standard at same rank: vertical” is set.

3. Hidden line arrangement Cable trays and raceways are not subject to hidden line arrangement.

4. Hidden line symbol when the specified parts is hidden


If hidden line processing is performed on a specified part the symbol lengths and angles are
processed on the basis of the values defined under “Draw hidden symbol at same parts” in the
“Hidden line symbols” tab of the Advanced Settings dialog box.

Refer to “5. Symbol setting for when same parts are hidden” in the above-mentioned Advanced
Settings dialog box.

5. Wire lengths
When wires and equipment are hidden, wires are hidden using minimum rectangles for the
equipment, so hidden lines may get larger for circular equipment.

6. Raceway equipment Line hiding and restoration


When restoring hidden lines for raceways and equipment, cable bundles or Elision Symbols are
deleted if they exist on raceways.

Warnings

1. Wires on cable trays cannot be moved (deformed) with Wires


[Move route] or [Deform route] on the cable tray.
Use the Move Wire command to move wires. If deformation is used, the wiring is rewritten.
Use the Continue mode of the Wire command, etc.

2. Raceway-related parts
Wires connected to branch boxes etc. cannot be moved (deformed) with [Move route] or [Deform
route] on the cable tray.
Use the Move Wire command to move wires.
If deformation is used, the wiring is rewritten. Use the Continue mode of the Wire command, etc.
Also, luminaires do not move in linkage.

3. Route movement
With the kind of movement described below, normal movement is not possible in some situations.
[1] When using [Move route], the route cannot be moved if the pitch between straight raceways is
short and the branch part cannot be reproduced, or if the route movement would move beyond
adjacent branch parts.

[2] The tray size (size annotation) moves in linkage with [Move route]. In the case of parallel
movement, the draw position is maintained, but if the length of a cable tray changes, the draw
position is calculated proportionally. If drawing is with a leader line, tray sizes (size annotations)
drawn on V1.2 or earlier do not move in linkage.

4. Route deformation
When using [Route deform], it is impossible to use it if the shape after deformation cannot generate
a straight line part, or if branch parts overlap.
If [Route deform] is used on a straight line part that is drawn with size annotation, the size
annotation text is left behind.
When [Route deform] is used, and an inclined straight line part is deformed on the front or side
elevation view, the specified start position and end position differ from their positions after
deformation.

5. Hidden lines
If a line is hidden and [Move route] or [Route deform] is used, the hidden line is restored.
The lines can be hidden again with the Hidden Line command of Real-time hidden line can be used.

3. HVAC/SAN parts
The Sleeve command only covers fire protection zone materials if electric parts and penetrating
parts are not specified.
Therefore, even if the type is set to fire protection zone, only sleeves can be drawn if
HVAC/sanitary parts are specified as penetrating parts.
(There are no HVAC/SAN commands that handle fire protection zone materials).

4.CSV output
Output sleeve size and position information drawn in CADEWA to a CSV file.
The loading of output sleeve data is supported by the KAP (specialized CAD/CAM for steel-framed
buildings) system from Katayama Stratech Corp.
When sleeve data is loaded into the KAP system from Katayama Stratech Corp, it can be used for
fixing checks against the steel frame.

The table below shows the format and data content of the sleeve data output by CADEWA.

Note 1 Output origin (X,Y) coordinate values


Output the output origin (X,Y) coordinates of the sleeve data specified with this command.

Note 2 Sleeve numbers


Set sleeve numbers to attributes according to the following rules, and output them.
- Start output from the sleeve with the smallest Y coordinate.
- If the Y coordinates are the same, start output from the sleeve with the smallest X coordinate.
- If the X and Y coordinates are the same, start output from the sleeve with the smallest Z
coordinate.
The sleeve number attributes are initialized (cleared to 0) when re-drawn by route movement, rotate-
move-copy, sleeve edit, etc.

Note 3 Sleeve start point and end point coordinates


The coordinates (X,Y,Z) of the start point and end point of a sleeve are output as relative coordinates,
relative to the output origin.

Note 4 Size rectangles (W/H)


Output rectangular sleeve width and height.
* When a sleeve is loaded into the KAP system, it is handled as a circular sleeve with diameter equal
to the maximum value of width and height.

File names for CSV output files


The file name of an output CSV file should be set with information that enables identification of the
property and drawing etc. when linked with the KAP system.

File name: [件名]_[図面名]_[年月日]_[原点情報(通り芯のX軸-通り芯のY軸-レベル基準)]

Precautions

1. Drawing on equipment/devices
The only equipment/devices subject to this kind of drawing are luminaires for which the mounting
location is ceiling.
Take care in the following situations:
[1] Automatic drawing is not possible for symbols with the number of bolts set to 0. If the bolt
pitch is set to 0, bolts are drawn superimposed at the layout point. The bolt pitch and number
of bolts can be set under “Changing existing parts” for the Creating Parts command

[2]The initial values for bolt pitch, number of bolts and layout point are set by Evolution. The bolt
hole positions may differ for some luminaires.

[3] Even if the layout point was changed before drawing, the layout point from before the
change will be used for the drawing.

[4] The insert layout angle is the same as the Equipment/Device angle. However, the layout
angle for inserts is corrected to the range 0.00 to 359.99°.

[5] inserts drawn with equipment/devices as the subject parts cannot be moved using the Insert
command.

[6] When the Change Scale and Angle command is used to change the scale factor for
equipment/device with previously drawn inserts, the scale factor process is also performed
on the insert layout pitch.

[7] When the Replacement command is used to change the scale factor for equipment/device
with previously drawn inserts, the inserts are deleted.

2. Drawing to routes
If the route subject to drawing is batch processed, the subject parts are cable trays (straight), cable
trays (Elbow), cable trays (T branch), cable trays (X branch), and raceways (straight).

For independent drawing, cable tray (straight) and raceway (straight) are subjects.
Take care in the following situations:
[1] Drawing is not possible on routes drawn other than on plan.

[2] Can't draw vertical trays.

Electricity-327
Electricity/Insert

[3] When batch drawing cable trays (straight) and raceways (straight), it is not possible to draw
more than 100 insert layout groups per part. (Independently-drawn inserts and moved inserts
form one layout group)

[4] Inserts drawn in cable trays (Elbow), cable trays (T branch), and cable trays (X branch)
cannot be moved using the Insert command.

[5] If inserts are drawn in cable trays (Elbow), cable trays (T branch), and cable trays (X branch),
they cannot be drawn if the distance from the end exceeds the straight line portion.

[6] In batch drawing, the inserts are drawn using the part length of the cable tray projected onto
the horizontal plane, rather than the actual part length.

[7] The insert layout angle is the angle at which the insert is perpendicular to the route layout
angle. However, the layout angle for inserts is corrected to the range 0.00 to 359.99°.

3. Move
Inserts freely drawn are subject to the move function of the Insert command.

- Inserts drawn in cable trays (straight) and raceways (straight) are subjects.
Take care in the following situations:
[1] Inserts can't be moved to other drawings.

[2] Freely drawn inserts can be moved freely, but only individually.

[3] Inserts drawn in cable trays (straight) and raceways (straight) move along the drawn route.
They cannot move if they are not on a route.

4. Draw layer
The draw layer varies according to the subject parts set on the Command toolbar. The layer that
was set the last time the command was closed is still set the next time it starts.
[1] Free: Draw in specified layer. By default, draw in “Elec - Insert - Other - 1”.

[2] Route: Draw in “Elec - Insert - Routing”

[3] Equipment/device: Draw in “Elec - Insert - Equip”

5. Jump

Electricity-357
Electricity/Electric Equipments List

However, information on text height, text spacing, draw layers and advanced settings follow the
settings that were in effect last time the function ended.

5. Refining searches
The Refine button can be used to refine the content of an Electric Equipments List imported with a
reference master file or the Legend Table Refer button, but data not covered by the refinement is
deleted from the list. To restore data that was excluded from the refinement, use the reference
master file again or refer to the Electric Equipments List.

6. Excluded parts
Parts, other than the following, that can be drawn with the Equipment/Device command, are subject
to part search.
Excluded part types are concentrated switches, combined switches, construction parts, and “Other”
parts.
However, combined switches are searched as their individual switch components in part searches.

7. Drawing equipment/device parts


Part shapes that are drawn in the part shape column are calculated with reference to the frame
height to fit within the frame.
Therefore, some parts may protrude from the frame.

8. When equipment/device parts are edited with commands that handle them
Shapes drawn in the part shape field are registered with the same structure as equipment/device
parts that can be drawn with the Equipment/Device command, so part shapes can be edited with
commands that handle equipment/device parts.

The commands that can edit part shapes, and the associated Precautions, are as follows:
- Jump
Jump from the part shape to the Equipment/Device command. However, shape information is the
only information that can be acquired in this way.
- Replacement command
Part shapes can be replaced. However, when parts are replaced with other parts having different
shapes and layout points, they may protrude from the frames or have misplaced layout points.
Also, if attributes are not inherited through the replacement, the parts may become subject to
material counting or be displayed with CG.
- Change Scale and Angle command
The scale factors and angles of part shapes can be changed.
- Move Equipment/Device command
Part shapes can be moved.
- Wire command
Wires can be connected to part shapes.
- Up/down command
Up/down symbols can be drawn on part shapes.
- Drawing Symbol command
Drawing Symbols can be drawn on part shapes, and attributes can be assigned to them.
- Circuit Number. command
Circuit numbers can be drawn on part shapes, and attributes can be assigned to them.
However, when Circuit numbers can be drawn on part shapes, they become subject to panel
diagrams and the Panel Display command.
- Switching Circuit command
Switching Circuits can be drawn on part shapes for switches, luminaires, ventilation fans, and
parts related to power loads and solar power, and attributes can be assigned to them.
- Installed Height command
Installed Heights can be drawn on part shapes, and attributes can be assigned to them.
- Property annotation and the Property command
Part shapes can be displayed and changed as equipment/device parts, and their properties can
be drawn.
- Change Ceiling Height command
The floor heights and ceiling heights of part shapes can be changed, and they can be assigned
room names.

9. Handling with the Base command


The commands to copy and move Electric Equipments Lists, the Delete Inside Frame command and
the Delete One Element command, can be used to batch search the whole table, even without using
frame specification to surround the whole table.

However, if parts shapes are edited with the commands for Replacement, scale factor and angle
change, and subject copying are handled individually.
Electricity-358
Electricity/Electric Equipments List

With commands other than those to copy and move Electric Equipments Lists, the Delete Inside
Frame command and the Delete One Element command, part shapes are handled individually.

Precautions

1. Selected element (Symbol types)


The elements subject to this process are electrical symbol parts laid out using the Equipment/Device
command.
The symbol types that can be input for each circuit type are as shown below.

Note 1) Combined switches (including wide combined switches)


When individual switch-type switches (switches which can be combined with the
Equipment/Device command) are combined, the resulting part as a whole is called a
combined switch.
Therefore, it is possible to input circuit attributes for each individual switch in a lighting
circuit.
At that stage, attributes are input for the combined switch itself.
However, the attributes that are input are updated each time they are input for single
switches.
Example)
Input the circuit Number. 101 in [1], and the following attributes can be seen
to be input (displayed) in the corresponding circuit Number. areas under
properties.
Area [1] 101
Area [2] Blank (state with nothing input)
Combined switch area 101
After that, input the circuit Number. 102 in [2], and the following attributes can be
seen to be input (displayed) in the corresponding circuit Number. areas under
properties.
Area [1] 101
Area [2] 102
Combined switch area 102 (updated attribute is input)

Note 2) Receptacle type - Residential data jack


The receptacle type “receptacle”, the data communications data jack TEL (modular jack),
and the data communications device TV (unit) are combined and the entire part is a
residential data jack.
Therefore, it is possible to input circuit attributes for the receptacle if it is in a lighting
circuit, or for the TEL (modular jack) and TV (unit) in a weak current circuit.
At that stage, attributes are input for the residential data jack itself.
However, when an attribute is input for the receptacle area, the same attribute is input for
the receptacle at the same time.

Electricity-402
Electricity/Circuit Number

Example)
In a lighting circuit, input the circuit Number. 101 in [1], and the following
attributes can be seen to be input (displayed) in the corresponding circuit
Number. areas under properties.
Area [1] 101
Area [2] Blank
Area [3] Blank
(nothing has been input for either [2] or [3])
Residential data jack area 101
After that, input the circuit Number. 102 in [2] and [3] for weak current circuits, and
the following attributes can be seen to be input (displayed) in the corresponding
circuit Number. areas under properties.
Area [1] 101
Area [2] 102
Area [3] 102
Residential data jack area 101
(Attributes as input in [1]).

Note 3) Wires connected to power generation circuits, and wire text


The power generation circuit attribute cannot be input for wires and wire text connected
to parts related to solar power generation only draw attributes for parts related to solar
power generation.

(Wire, wire text) These are wires drawn with the Wiring Command.
With wire text, the entire wire text group is selected when subject parts are selected, so when
inputting attributes, specify the wire text string within the wire text group.

2. Processing
If main line is selected as the circuit type, the circuit Number. is not input, so it is not drawn on the
drawing.

3. Search conditions for same-part conditions


Symbol parts
Parts which have the same part code, attribute code, shape code, part name 1, part name 2, power
supply type, voltage type, load type, panel symbol, main line Number., and circuit Number. are
judged to be the same part.
Wire, wire text
There is Number same-part search for wires.

4. Material count
The Material Count command can count materials in each circuit, with input of circuit type and
attributes.
Refer to the Material Count command about material counting.
However, with Evolution Ver1.0, if material counting is performed using combined switch and
residential data jack symbols for which the circuit attribute has been input, it is necessary to input
the circuit attribute again.
(The Material Count command cannot be used with the LT product).

5. [Batch 2 UP TO HERE] Trace selection


When selecting subject parts, choosing trace selection from the selection methods on the
Command toolbar means that when one part is specified, subject parts are automatically searched
for based on linkage information for the specified part.

The following are patterns of Auto-search for each process type.

- Process type: Light

2. Correction angle of leader and text


Refer to the precautions on the “Annotation Text” command.

3. Slide and leader


Settings of slide and leaders on the command toolbar are shown below.

○: Check box ON
×: Check box OFF
-: Disabled

4. 2-lines duct fitting (HVAC/Plumbing)


When drawing annotation by specifying 2-lines duct fittings, sizes and levels are drawn based
on the information of the target connection face.

Also, when drawing annotation for connection faces of rectangular/circular hoppers and convex’s
round size side, additional symbols are drawn based on the settings from “Drawing Settings”
command (“HVAC / Plumbing” - “Settings for materials” - “Settings for rectangular duct materials -
Settings for pipe materials”). These settings for materials are as follows.

Electricity-427
Electricity/ Size Annotation

5. Slope level (HVAC/Plumbing)


When a pipe is specified as the target part for drawing annotation, the drawing level
is the target pipe level and specified level base position.

When a fitting or valve is specified as the target for drawing annotation, the drawing level is the
placement level, and the leader is drawn based on the placement level.

The slope level cannot be set for electrical parts.


Electricity-428
Electricity/ Size Annotation

6. Refrigerant pipe (HVAC/Plumbing)


Refrigerant pipe sizes are drawn based on the settings in the “Detail Settings” dialog. If size
symbol information provided by the “Refrigerant size table” command is drawn instead of sizes,
and margins are provided before and after the size symbol, it is processed as follows.
(In the following example, assume the size symbol is 「A」and specified number of blanks is 2.
- If there is no drawing item before or after the size symbol:
The size symbol is drawn adding 2 blanks before and after it. (Ex1)
Ex1 □□a□□
- If there is any drawing item before or after the size symbol:
The size symbol is drawn adding 2 blanks (□) before and 2 + 1 blanks (■) after it. (Ex2) Even
if no blank is set, if there is another drawing item before or after the size symbol, there is
always one blank. (Ex3)
Ex2 □□a□□■ (FL+3000)
Ex3 a■ (FL+3000)

7. Duct flex of the duct material(HVAC/SAN)


When drawing a level for duct flex of the duct material. The level draws the level that acquired at the
time of the following operation.
- Arbitrary processing("Slide" of the command tool bar, "Leader" are checkoff)
Drawing instructions position level when I ordered target duct flex.
- Withdrawal processing.(checkoff, " Leader" check it, and "Slide" of the command tool bar is turned
on.)
Drawing a level of nearest duct flex from the drawer in size annotation position.

The size annotation drawing in duct flex is the outside targeted for processing at the time of
processing classification "substitution" and "movement".

8. About the state of the annotation in the route editing


When you edit a route material drawing a size annotation, maintain the position of the size annotation
and the number.
(When processing duct flex of a duct material drawing a size annotation by an edit command and a
fabricating attribute command, the size annotation drawing by duct flex is deleted.)
As for the move route, a position changes with the move of the route.
9. About the inversion of the annotation
Can reverse the size annotation which has been drawn.
Change command of the text style. Change dialog reference text style.

2. Set the installation method name and the vertical length installation method.
Set the name that will be output for the combination of element type and installation method
(horizontal) when pick-up data is created, and set the vertical installation method.
Up/down elements are only picked up for vertical installation methods, so only the output name is set.

3. Set the order of priority for applying the Wiring Note Table.
If multiple installation methods become mixed, such as through the drawing of end covers within one
wiring group, one installation method is regarded as having higher priority and the Wiring Note Table
is applied.
The same applies when the Wiring Note Table command is used to refer to elements within a
drawing.

If the wires in the drawing below were drawn with the above settings, the Wiring Note Table
command would refer to the ceiling void.

cases, terminal boards, and protector panels.

9 Combined parts
Some of the parts which can be placed with Equipment/ Device Layout are combined parts.
Combined switches, residential data jacks, and linked layout symbols are combined parts.
A combined part is one in which individual symbols are combined to make a different symbol.
Combined parts are handled as follows in material counts:
- Combined switches, residential data jacks
Combined switches and residential data jacks are picked up as one part per combined part.
They are not separated and picked up individually.
In sheet output by circuit number or room name, output is based on attributes that all combined parts
have.
For combined switches, the circuit number assigned at the end is an attribute for the whole part. For
residential data jacks, the circuit number assigned to the receptacle portion is assigned to the whole
part.
Refer to Circuit Number command for details.
- Linked layout symbols
Linked layout symbols are symbols which enable symbols linked in Equipment/ Device Layout to be
handled as a single part.
Linked layout symbols do not pick up combined parts as one part, but pick up individual parts as one
part.
In sheet output by circuit number or room name, output is based on attributes that each combined
part has.
Equipment plates drawn with a linkage frame cannot be picked up.

10. Box auto-generation


Position boxes such as those for luminaires, receptacles, and switches, and other boxes and ceiling
switches that are not drawn in drawings, are automatically generated and picked up.
There are the following two conditions for automatically generating parts.

1. Box generation must be set to “Yes” in the part attributes.


(Normally the default for parts to pick up boxes is set to “Yes”).
2. Box auto-generation must be set to “Yes” in the List Output Type Selection dialog box.
Boxes to pick up, and ceiling switches, are set in masters.
The table below shows the parts that are generated for parts subject to pick-up.
(Combined switches and grouped switches are not in the table below).

11. Box auto-generation for combined switches and grouped switches


Under the above system-provided master, boxes are not auto-generated for combined switches and
grouped switches.
Boxes are judged automatically, according to the number of combined switches, and the generated
boxes are picked up. The table below shows the relationship between the number of switches and
the boxes generated.

12. Picking up cable trays, raceways, and floor ducts


Cable trays, raceways, bus ducts, metal ducts, ventilation pipes, and floor ducts have the lengths of
their linear portions measured (unit = m) and picked up.
Branches in cable trays, bus ducts, metal ducts, and ventilation pipes, and boxes in raceways and
floor ducts, are picked up according to their number.
Length measurement takes the distance between the start point and end point, so measurement is
accurate even in drawings drawn vertical or inclined.
Electrical-484
Electrical/Material Count

13. Picking up sleeves and fire protection zones


Sleeves and fire protection zones are picked up with their quantities for each size or each installation
place (wall, beam, floor).

14. Handling odd quantities


Branches in equipment/device parts and cable trays, and boxes in raceways, bus ducts, metal ducts,
and floor ducts, are picked up according to their number, so their number of significant figures is
integer only.
The unit is the meter “m” for parts measured by length, such as cable trays, raceways, bus ducts,
metal ducts, ventilation pipes, and floor ducts. Their lengths are counted by rounding to 2SF, and
then to 1DP.
(This complies with the 2007 edition of the Building Construction Estimation Standards by the
Ministry of Construction).

15. Count files and drawings subject to material count


Drawings subject to material count are those drawn with Real.
DXF files and other Drawings imported from CAD systems are excluded.
Material count files created with Evolution and having the EPZ extension cannot be used.
Only the extensions EPU and EPR are covered.

16 Scales
Material count subjects are parts drawn at the standard scale, or at another scale the same as the
standard scale.
Different scales not matching the standard scale are not picked up.

17. Recommended paper sizes


The recommended paper sizes for sheet output are A4 landscape, A3 landscape, and B4 landscape.
Output is still possible on non-recommended paper sizes, but the character font sizes and number of
cells that can fit on one page cannot be guaranteed.

Wiring pick-up concepts

Summary of wiring
(1) What are wires?
“Wire” is a general term for wiring groups and wiring elements.
A wiring group is a collection of wiring elements drawn by the Wiring command.
A wiring element is an individual wire or arc that is a component within a wiring group.

Wiring group A group combining ABC


Wiring element The individual elements ABC

(2) Wiring attributes


Wires have the attributes shown below.
Attributes can be checked with the Properties command.

Electrical-486
Electrical/Material Count

Wire length calculation method


What is wire length?
Wire length includes horizontal length and vertical length.
Wire lengths picked up by material count are calculated from the horizontal length and vertical
length by the following method:

(1) Horizontal length


Horizontal length includes horizontal element length and horizontal extra length.
Horizontal element length is the actual length of the wiring element as drawn in the plan view.
Horizontal extra length is the horizontal extra length retained as an attribute of the wiring
element.
The horizontal length of a wiring group is produced by the following formula.

Horizontal length = Total horizontal element length + total horizontal extra length
Example of calculating the horizontal length of a wire
In a situation as illustrated below, the horizontal length of a whole wiring group is calculated
as follows:

Horizontal length = Total horizontal element length + total horizontal extra length
= (element lengths A + B + C) + (horizontal extra lengths X + Y + Z)

Wiring portions that cannot be seen in drawings, because they have been hidden with the
Hidden Line command or omitted with the Elision Symbol command, are also calculated as
horizontal element lengths.

Electrical-487
Electrical/Material Count

(2) Vertical length


The calculation method for vertical length differs between wires and turned up/down symbols.

- Vertical lengths of wires


Vertical length includes vertical calculated length and vertical extra length.
Vertical calculated length is the wire length calculated from the ceiling height, floor height, and Z
coordinate that equipment/devices have in their attributes, and from the installation method of the
wiring connected to those equipment/devices. Therefore, it is not held as a wiring element
attribute.
Vertical extra length is the vertical extra length retained as an attribute of the wiring element.

The vertical length of a wiring group is produced by the following formula.

Vertical length = total vertical calculated length + total vertical extra length

Example of calculating the vertical length of a wire


In a situation as illustrated below, the vertical length of a whole wiring group is calculated as
follows:

Vertical length = total vertical calculated length + total vertical extra length
= (vertical calculated length V + W) + (vertical extra length L + M + N)

The calculation method for vertical calculated length is described below.


Vertical calculated length is calculated using the ceiling height and floor height that the
equipment/device has in its attributes, the Z coordinate of the equipment/device, and the installation
method of the wiring connected to the equipment/device.

The calculation method for vertical calculated length differs as shown below, according to the wiring
installation method.
The sectional drawing in the illustration is provided for explanatory purposes, but in Real Electrical,
equipment/devices and wires are not displayed.
Attributes of equipment/devices can be checked with the Properties command.

Electrical-488
Electrical/Material Count

- If the wiring installation method is in-ceiling, exposed, or cable tray

Total vertical calculated length = vertical calculated length (V) + vertical calculated length (W)

3. Method for determining wire and pipe part names


If wiring information is assigned and drawn, the material count is based on that wiring information. If
wiring information is not assigned, and the Wiring command is used for drawing, it is not possible to
judge at the material count stage what wiring part names and pipe part names to use for pick-up.

Therefore, one of the following processes must be performed to judge part names.
If wiring information, Wiring Note Table, or wire text is defined for the same wire,the Priority order is
wire text > Wiring Note Table > wiring information.
- Draw a Wiring Note Table.
- Draw wire text.

Electrical-492
Electrical/Material Count

- Wiring Note Tables


Wiring Note Tables are drawn with the Wiring Note Table command.
Refer to Wiring Note Table command for details.
At least one Wiring Note Table is required within a drawing. Even when multiple drawings are picked
up at the same time, the Wiring Note Table drawn within each one is used for picking up parts, so
one is still required for each drawing.

The items shown in the screen image below are set within the Wiring Note Table command.

This makes it possible to draw a Wiring Note Table as shown below.

For example, if the following wiring is drawn in the drawing, the equipment type, installation method,
and number of cable cores attribute in the note table are compared against the corresponding
attributes of the wires and, if they match, the defined wire text is counter by VVF1.6-3C.

(Note table drawn on the drawing)

(*) The above note tables are both drawn with end cover symbols and protection pipe names, but even if those are not
drawn, the following note table has the same meaning, provided it has the protection pipe attribute. The Wiring Note Table
command is used to set whether or not to draw.

(Parts counted by the above note table)

If the protection pipe attribute is assigned to the note table, the wire lengths of the vertical parts are all picked up with
protection pipes attached.

(Parts counted by the above note table)


When draw settings are made with the Wiring Note Table command, the installation method for the protection pipe portion (the
red line portion above) cannot be selected. This is fixed as a solid line.
Therefore, the protection pipe portions of the wiring elements drawn in the drawing (the ends with open end cover symbols)
are always counter with protection pipes, regardless of the installation method.
In the example of the diagram below, the protection pipe portion of the note table has a solid line, but the drawn wiring
element is a dotted line, as an in-floor element.

Up/down pick-up concepts

1. Summary of up/down elements (What is up/down)


Up/down elements is the collective term for turned up symbol, turned down symbol, element
serial symbol, and same floor symbol.
The calculation method for vertical length differs between turned up symbol, turned down
symbol, element serial symbol, and same floor symbol.
Therefore, they have the attribute “group type” to judge the type of symbol.
Turned up symbols and turned down symbols are automatically decided by the arrow lead angle
when drawn.
- Turned up symbol
If the arrow lead angle is in the range 0~180°, it is assigned the group type attribute for
a turned up symbol.

- Turned down symbol


If the arrow lead angle is in the range 180°~360°, it is assigned the group type attribute
for a turned down symbol.

(2) Up/down attributes


Up/down elements have the attributes shown in the table below.

Electrical-509
Electrical/Material Count

2. Wire length calculation method for up/down elements


(1) What is wire length?
Vertical length is the only wire length picked up from turned up/down symbols.
Up/down wire lengths picked up by material count calculate the vertical length by the following
method:

(2) Vertical length


Vertical length includes vertical calculated length and vertical extra length.
Vertical calculated length is the wire length calculated from the floor height and ceiling height
stored in the attributes of the turned up/down symbol, or from the equipment/device floor height,
ceiling height, and Z coordinate specified for the equipment/device when the turned up/down
symbol is drawn. Therefore, it is not held as a turned up/down symbol attribute.
Vertical extra length is the vertical extra length retained as an attribute of the turned up/down
symbol.

Example of calculating the vertical length of a turned up/down symbol


The vertical length of a turned up/down symbol is calculated as follows:

Vertical length = vertical calculated length (V) + total vertical extra length (L)

The calculation method for vertical calculated length is described below.


Calculation methods are classified into the following three methods.
(1) If wiring is connected to a turned up/down symbol.

(2) If no wiring is connected to a turned up/down symbol,


and if an equipment/device was specified when the turned up/down symbol was drawn.

(3) If no wiring is connected to a turned up/down symbol


and an equipment/device was not specified when the turned up/down symbol was
drawn.

This section explains (1)(2)(3) above.


The sectional drawing in the illustration is provided for explanatory purposes, but in
CADEWA_Real Electrical, equipment/devices, wires, and turned up/down symbols are not
displayed.

(1) If wiring is connected to a turned up/down symbol.

The floor height and ceiling height held in the attributes of the turned up/down symbol
are used in the calculation.
The calculation method differs according to the group type (turned up, turned down,
element serial, and same floor symbols are judged) and the installation method in the
attributes of the wiring element.

3. Method for determining the wire and pipe part names of turned up/down symbols
If only the Up/Down command is used for drawing, it is not possible to judge at the material count
stage what wiring part names and pipe part names to use for pick-up.

Therefore, one of the following processes must be performed to judge part names.
- Draw wire text for a turned up/down symbol.
-Connect a wire to the turned up/down symbol and define wire text or note table for that wire.
If the above processes are performed at the same time, the wire text of the turned up/down symbol has the highest priority.

- Drawing wire text for a turned up/down symbol.


Wire text is drawn with the Wire Text command.
Refer to Wire Text command for details.

Wire text assigned to turned up/down symbols is picked up without change.

-Wires connected to turned up/down symbols


Even if wire text is not drawn directly on turned up/down symbols, if a wire connected to a
turned up/down symbol has wire text or a note table defined, that information can be used to
determine the part name.

The installation method for a turned up/down symbol can be set when the symbol is drawn.
The four usable installation methods are embedded and hidden, exposed, cable tray, and void,
and the count method differs with the installation method.

Precautions

1. Draw subjects when using frame selection


When selecting all elements to acquire as draw subjects, when selecting with a frame.
There are many references in the explanations that follow to angles relative to the viewpoint, and that
approach is based on the diagram below.

[1] For building elements


- Column: It varies with the type of column.
- Square column: Columns drawn at 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees to the viewpoint are subject.
The figure below shows examples of processes with different viewpoint
relative to the column.

- Circular column: Not subject in any case, regardless of the viewpoint.

- Fixture: Fixtures (doors and windows, etc.) drawn at 0 or 180 degrees to viewpoint are subject.
The figure below shows examples of processes with different viewpoint relative
to the door.

- Axis: Axes drawn at 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees to the viewpoint are subject.

- Finishing line: These are groups of columns or walls, so when a column or wall is selected, the
line is acquired at the same time. However, the Draw Settings dialog box
mentioned above is not displayed.

- Casing: These are groups of doors or windows, so when a door or window is selected, the
casing is acquired at the same time. However, the Draw Settings dialog box
mentioned above is not displayed.

- Wall: It varies with the type of wall. However, arc walls are not subject.

Electric-543
Electric/Detailed view

- Outside wall: Walls drawn at 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees to the viewpoint direction are
subject.
If an outside wall is drawn at 0 or 180 degrees, the wall is not drawn at all
in the detailed view unless an end point of the wall is included within the
selection frame.
- Partition wall: Walls drawn at 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees to the line of sight direction are
subject.
- Smoke barrier: Walls drawn at 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees to the line of sight direction are
subject.

The figure below illustrates how walls drawn at 0 or 180 degrees to the viewpoint are drawn
in a detailed view. The hatching is included for the purpose of this explanation and is not
drawn in the actual detailed view.
In the example in which no end point of the wall is included within the selection frame,
nothing is drawn for an outside wall, but the top edge of the wall in the case of a partition, or
the bottom edge of the wall in the case of a smoke barrier, is drawn as a line in the detailed
view.

[2] For an electric element


Elements which satisfy all of the following conditions are subject.
Cable trays, raceways, and floor ducts are not subject.
User-registered symbols registered by the user are set with the default value of 100 for
longitudinal, lateral and radial dimensions, so input real dimensions to replace those figures.

- Conditions for draw subjects in new drawing


1. Symbols drawn with the Equipment/Device command
2. Symbols drawn at 180 degrees to the viewpoint.
However, the following symbols are subject at all angles.
Dimmers, attenuators, and automatically-closed devices

The figure below shows examples of processes with different viewpoints relative to
receptacles.

Electric-544
Electric/Detailed view

- Conditions for draw subjects in added drawings


If the symbols were drawn with the Equipment/Device command, all are subject, regardless
of the angle to the viewpoint.

The figure below shows examples of processes with different viewpoints relative to
receptacles.

[3] For HVAC/sanitary elements


- Conditions for draw subjects in new and added drawings
1. Symbols drawn with the Equipment/Device command (other than stem symbols)
2. Symbols drawn at 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees to the viewpoint.

2. Results when viewing devices from the side


The Detailed View command considers the images of wall-mounted devices seen from the front on the
basis of their enlargement to detailed views.
Therefore, if the viewpoint is set so as to see the device from the side, the drawing result may not be
what the user expects.
Also, the longitudinal and lateral dimensions drawn in detailed views are automatically set with default
dimensions based on the front view, even if the device is seen from the side.
The figure below shows examples of drawing electric part devices in detailed views from various
viewpoints.
The enlargement is based on the layout point O, so the detailed view seen from the side makes the
device appear embedded in the wall.

Electric-545
Electric/Detailed view

3. Fixture mounting height errors When the basic move or copy commands are used to perform processes that change the
height (elevation) of building element fixtures in sections other than plan (front, back, left, or right
elevations), their attribute information will not be updated correctly, so it will not be possible to acquire
mounting heights correctly using frame selection with the Detailed View command.
Use the Edit Building Parts command for processes that change heights (elevations).

4. Frames for fixtures If the mounting height of a fixture is 0, it is automatically processed to make sure its casing is not drawn
lower than the floor line.

reflection of the change in the design number of units follows the [Reflect necessary number
of units in design number of units] check on the Data Input screen.
- Recalculation is not performed in the following cases:
- When coefficient of utilization was input manually. (When values other than 80/70/50 for
ceiling reflectance, 70/50/30 for wall reflectance, and 30/10 for floor reflectance were input).
- When the name of the luminaire type was input manually, rather than being set from a
selection or specification button.
(Even if the luminaire is set from a specification button, it may be impossible to acquire
the coefficient of utilization in some cases).
[3] Constraints on layout number of units
- When laying out luminaires using the Layout button, the layout cannot be processed if the
layout number of units exceeds 30 units across and 30 units along.

Precautions

1. Subject parts
The elements subject to conversion by the processes under this command are as follows:
[1] For conversion to equipment/devices (independent)
Points, lines, circles, arcs, ellipses, ellipse arcs, characters, general-purpose groups
[2] For conversion to equipment/devices (batch)
Circular, general-purpose group
[3] For conversion to wires (independent)
Lines (including polylines and splines), arcs, ellipse arcs
[4] For conversion to wires (batch)
Lines (including polylines and splines), arcs, ellipse arcs
[5] For conversion to Number of Cable Cores (independent)
Line, arc, text
[6]For conversion to Number of Cable Cores (batch)
Line, arc, text
[7] For conversion to hidden line symbols
Line
[8] For conversion to End Covers
Line, arc, ellipse arc
[9] For conversion to Elision Symbols
Drawn in the same layers as wiring.

2. Draw layers
The draw layer differs between conversion to equipment/devices (independent) and conversion to
equipment/devices (batch).
[1] For conversion to equipment/devices (independent)
Draw in the layer displayed in the Layers toolbar (the current layer).
[2] For conversion to equipment/devices (batch)
Draw in the layer displayed in the Layers toolbar (the current layer).
[3] For conversion to wiring (independent)
Drawn in the same layer as the element subject to conversion.
[4] For conversion to wiring (batch)
Drawn in the same layers as the converted elements.
[5] For conversion to Number of Cable Cores (individual)
Drawn in the same layers as wiring.
[6]For conversion to Number of Cable Cores (batch)
Drawn in the same layers as wiring.
[7] For conversion to hidden line symbols
Electric-565
Electric/Convert Electric Parts

Drawn in the same layers as wiring.


For conversion to End Covers
Drawn in the same layers as wiring.
[9] For conversion to Elision Symbols
Drawn in the same layers as wiring.

3. Additional processing of conversion to wires (independent)


The following processes are carried out immediately after conversion to wires:

- Conversion to hidden line symbols at both ends of hidden lines.


- End Covering is performed, taking the specification points of the selection rectangle as the line
type change points.

4. Processing of conversion to wires (batch)


The following processes are carried out immediately after conversion to wires:

- Conversion to hidden line symbols at both ends of hidden lines.


- End Covering is performed, taking the specification points of the selection rectangle as the line
type change points.
However, in the case of batch processing, the processing sequence among elements subject to
conversion is determined automatically, so the above processes will not be performed if wire
conversion happens first.
Also, wire conversion is performed when lines and text such as Number of Cable Cores are
selected as elements subject to conversion. Conversion to Number of Cable Cores will never be
performed automatically.

5.Traces for wire conversion


Under the following conditions, trace the subject elements and make them one route of wiring.

- The scale is the same as the currently displayed scale.


- The layer is the same as that of the trace start element.
- Only one end point of the subject element is in contact. Alternatively, only one end point of a
subject element spanning a hidden line adjustment is in contact.

6. The installation method for conversion to wires


The wires are drawn with the installation method for the line type set in the Installation Method Style
Settings dialog box, which is displayed for conversion to wires (independent) or conversion to wires
(batch).
However, lines are drawn by another installation method in the following cases:
- If the same line type as the element subject to conversion is set for multiple installation methods
in the Installation Method Style Settings dialog box, drawing uses the line type setting that
was set above.
- If the same line type as the element subject to conversion is not set in the Installation Method
Style Settings dialog box, drawing uses the line type that has the topmost setting.

7. Same-shape groups
On conversion to equipment/devices (batch), conversion can be made to different parts for each
same shape.
Even if the style is different, parts are processed as a same-shape group if their shapes are
absolutely identical. There are cases in which shapes appear to be the same, but do not become
same-shape groups, and cases in which they are judged to be the same shape even if they appear
different.
Examples in which shapes appear the same but do not become same-shape groups:
- The angle of the longest line is different.
- The angle of the shortest line is different.
- The member element composition of the group differs.
Examples in which shapes are judged to be the same, even though they appear different:
- The shape is a named figure.
- The member element composition of the group is the same.

Usage example

1. Operation example of drawing equipment/devices by independently converting to equipment

Command toolbar

Command toolbar

(1) “Subject element selection” -> “Draw


equipment/device”
[1] “Specify elements to convert to equipment/devices”
In the Command dialog box, set the equipment/devices to
draw.

Specify diagonally-opposite points [1] and [2] to indicate the


subject element selection range to draw equipment/devices.

If the box for Auto-Finish is checked in the Command dialog


box, selection is finished with the selection of diagonally-
opposite point [2], and the equipment/device corresponding to
the settings is drawn.

The draw position for equipment/devices is determined


according to the layout point positions, based on the minimum
rectangle calculated for the selected element.

If the box for wire connection is checked, the equipment/device


is connected to wires adjoining its layout position.

2. Operation example of wire conversion by independent conversion to wiring


Command toolbar

(1) “Subject element selection” -> “Draw wire”


[1] “Specify elements for wiring conversion”
The subject elements are traced and the wires are drawn.
They are drawn with the same settings as the line type for the
subject elements.
Also, if an equipment/device is drawn at an end point, wire
conversion and cable bundle conversion proceed while
connecting equipment/devices, so converting to equipment
first raises the conversion precision.

The relationship between line type, attributes and styles can


be set in the Advanced Settings dialog box.
