Click on new duct, click to add new branch on the main run, than don't press anything. Look over to the top bar where it says offset, set offset to the height less than the height of the main run than hit apply - the button next to the offset box. It must be done in plan view.
hope that helps
thanks ^^, i'm going to try that right now!
wheres the option for a new branch?
been lookin but cant find
This is how I do it, I think Beancud means the same thing but said it differently:
Select the Duct tool. Click on the duct at the location you want to create a vertical branch. Don't draw anything else, go up to the options bar and set your offset to a location below the main duct run. Click apply offset and the duct will be created.
For example, you have a main running at an offset of 12'0" and is 24" deep. You want a duct to go extend 2 feet below the main run. If the main run vertical orientation is set to horizontal the bottom of the duct is at 11'0". Select the duct tool to create a new duct, set your offset to the main run offset, or 12'0" in this case. Click on the location you want to create the branch. Now go up to the options bar and set your offset to 9'0" (2 feet below the bottom of the main run, or 11'0" - 2'0" = 9'0") and click apply offset.
its not working :/ Im confused.
I did exactly what you said, the offset right now for that main duct is 8-6", so I clicked in on the centerline of that duct, then typed in 4'-6" and clicked apply, it created this weird fitting...didnt let me extend or do anything with this fitting either...
heres a pic
and a 3d view
What's wrong with it? What does it look like in an elevation view?
Change your duct type from tees to taps...
I don't use tees at all, all duct work is tap for me..
