- [Instructor] To add ducts and rails to my panel,
again I'll just jump into the Cabinet Layout tab,
and right beside Add cabinet, I have Add duct and Add rail.
So again, I'll try to start off with an Add duct here.
And I'll just search my library
for whatever duct I may want to purchase.
I can use the filters or I'll jump into the classification,
and Boxes and cabinets,
and specifically looking for ducts here.
And Search.
Here I just have a few options within my current library,
and maybe I'll use the Schneider Electric Duct here.
And I can add as many as I may need.
Maybe I want four in this case.
And hit the green Plus
to add all four of those Schneider Electric Ducts here.
And once I'm happy, just say Select.
And I'll automatically
be jumped into the 2D footprint insertion tool,
and you could see here's my duct coming in.
I can change the symbol orientation
by clicking on any of these buttons here,
and that will come in horizontal or vertical,
or whatever it might be.
The right mouse button click does the same,
it just changes that symbol orientation,
just with the mouse button click there.
So I'll start with my horizontal duct,
maybe just off across the top.
And I just click once to start the duct,
and then I can click and drag,
which would give the length of the duct if I'd like.
Maybe I want about 14, 15 inches or so.
I can also throw in, of course, the exact length as well
over here within my Update length command,
but I'll just say somewhere about here, 14.25 inches or so.
And there is my first duct.
I can see now, just the same as my cabinet,
those four duct components that I've selected,
have also been added to my Cabinet layout tree,
or parts list here.
And I've just inserted the one across the top now,
but I can insert all the others as well.
So for the others I can get into it one by one
with Add duct, or now that they're already in my list,
I can just right-click on these,
and say Insert as, whatever it may be.
So in this case, again I'm dealing with ducts,
so I can use Insert as duct.
And now maybe I want to throw in a vertical duct,
so I'll throw in something like this.
And try to get it close to where I'd like to put it,
and then I can finish it off later on.
And I'll give it some length,
and maybe about 18 inches or something here.
There's another duct.
And I can just do the same for the rest,
insert a few more here.
And one final duct.
Something like that.
And so that's just the general shape of the ducts,
within my panel.
Now to fine tune things, of course,
I can use the Move commands or the Draw commands
or whatever it may be.
It's also useful to use Object Snaps here.
So if I jump into my Snaps down here,
I can actually right-click on any of these options here,
and that jumps me back into my Drawing properties.
So here I can turn on whatever Object Snap I'd like,
Endpoints, Mid-points, Center.
Endpoints and Mid-points will be fairly useful,
especially in organizing and moving around
our ducts and rails and so forth.
So I can fine tune that as needed.
Generally we'll be using
my Draw and my Modify commands as well,
while creating these ducts.
I can also throw in dimensions for example.
So essentially what I'm going to be creating
is manufacturing drawings for these electrical panels.
And just same idea, let's throw in a couple of rails.
So maybe I just want the rails
where my electrical components will be placed.
So again, same idea, just between Add cabinet and Add duct,
I have Add rail here.
And I'll search for a specific manufacture part
for the rails.
I'll go to Boxes and Rails here.
And in my library,
you'll probably have quite a few more within your libraries,
I just have the one here.
And again I want to throw in, maybe I'll just use two rails.
Add those to my project.
And same idea, same insertion tool here,
and click once to place,
and then click again
depending on the length I'd like for my rail here.
And add it to the list.
And here again, just the one remaining rail.
Again I can right-click and instead of Insert as duct,
I'm going to choose of course, Insert as rail.
And I'll place this somewhere about here.
And now we have
kind of the general layout of my electrical panel.
