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.

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.

- 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.

Warnings
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.

* Auto layout cannot be used if the Wattage and number of lamps is the same as in the table,
but the shape is different.
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.
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:

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.
However, if parts shapes are edited with the commands for Replacement, scale factor and angle
change, and subject copying are handled individually.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

The installation method for same floor symbol is cable tray or void, so it is to be picked up under the wire text
attribute on the side which has no pipe.
However, neither of the wire text attributes has pipe, so there is no way to judge which of the wire texts to pick up
with.
Therefore, the vertical length of the same floor symbol is assigned as half to each part and picked up.

That is the case because it is not possible to judge what kind of combination, with the same floor symbol at the
boundary, there is between the wire texts attached to the two wires connected to the same floor symbol.
The following warning message is displayed when pick-up data is created.
- Multiple wire texts are assigned to the wire connected to the same floor symbol of the turned up/down symbol,
so it is picked up as an undefined same floor symbol.

Precautions
- 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.

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.

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.
