Operations (Shortcuts)

Undo

Ctrl + Z

You can undo an action with this operation. If you deleted a wrong BC for example, you can undo the deleting by using this operation.

Redo

Ctrl + Y

You can redo an action you have undone with this operation.

Copy

Ctrl + C

You can copy selected BCs, text labels and/or complete circuits with this operation.

Paste

Ctrl + V

You can paste the BCs, text labels and/or complete circuits that you previously copied with this operation. Be aware that you can only copy and paste within the same model.

Replace components

Ctrl + H

You can replace a selected BC by another one with this operation. The pipe & control connections will stay connected if the replacing BC is similar to the replaced one, otherwise they will be broken.

Copy BC with default values

Shift + Click

You can draw previously drawn BCs again with this operation without having to search it again in the library.

Rotate clockwise

R

You can rotate the selected BC or circuit clockwise with this operation.

Rotate counterclockwise

Shift + R

You can rotate the selected BC or circuit counterclockwise with this operation.

Flip left/right

F

You can flip the selected BC or circuit left/right with this operation.

Flip up/down

Shift + F

You can flip the selected BC or circuit up/down with this operation.

Free rotate

Shift + Mouse move

You can freely rotate the selected BC or circuit with this operation.

Flip reverse return chain

G

You can use this operation when you have a reverse return pipe selected to flip the supply and return.

Select all

Alt + Click

You can select all the same BCs of the selected kind within the same canvas by using this operation so you can move, replace or delete them all at once. Look at the page Canvas management, Floor plan implementation and Layers for more information about canvasses.

Select all (all canvasses)

Shift + Alt + Click

You can select all the same BCs of the selected kind over all canvasses by using this operation so you can move, replace or delete them all at once.

Zoom to fit

Ctrl + F

Zooms your window to fit all your circuits in your window.

Zoom in

+

Zooms in on your model.

Zoom out

-

Zooms out on your model.

Zoom in pipe labels

Ctrl + '+'

Makes the pipe labels bigger.

Zoom out pipe labels

Ctrl + '-'

Makes the pipe labels smaller.

Zoom in base circuits (on floorplans)

Alt + '+'

Makes your BCs bigger on the floorplan.

Zoom out base circuits (on floorplans)

Alt + '-'

Makes your BCs smaller on the floorplan.

Zoom in pipes

Shift + '+'

Makes your pipes bigger on the floorplan.

Zoom out pipes

Shift + '-'

Makes your pipes smaller on the floorplan.

Toggle pipe labels

Ctrl + K

By using this operation, you toggle between the 3 modes of the pipe labels: off, computed and optimised. Note that to see the corresponding pipe labels, you have to compute the design flows or optimised the components.

Change transparency pipe labels

Ctrl + J

You can change the transparency of the pipe labels with this operation.

Toggle floor plan

Ctrl + B

You can make your floor plan invisible or visible with this operation.

Change greyscale floor plan

Ctrl + G

You can change your floor plan to greyscale or back to color with this operation.

Go to next error

E

You can go through the errors in your model when pressing this repeatedly.

Toggle path of most resistance

Ctrl + E

You can see the path with the most resistance of a pump when using this operation when having BC with a pump selected. Always check this path to see if the shown path of most resistance is a logical one (to the furtest end unit or the one with the most pressure losses). If not so, check the filled in DN and KV-values.

Toggle P&ID identifiers

Ctrl + I

Each pipe & BC you draw in your model has an unique label called the P&ID identifier. This is especially useful when you get an error like: ‘Some nodes were not visited, please verify that following BCs are connected to a production unit: …’

Toggle geothermal operations modes

Ctrl + O

You can switch between the general, cold withdraw and cold deposit view of your geothermal BC. This does not switch the operation mode of the BC, only the view. Look at the pages Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) and Borehole Thermal Energy Storage (BTES) for more information.

Save model

Ctrl + S

Saves your model. Be aware that this will overwrite your simulation.

Simulate model

Alt + S

Simulates your model.

Go to previous library

P

You can go to the previous library with this operation.

Go to next library

N

You can go to the next library with this operation.

Toggle auto-connect

Ctrl + Shift + A

Auto-connect can be used to automatically connect pipes, controllers or zones when drawing the BCs. Look at the page How to use toggle auto-connect for more information.

Change regime and power

Ctrl + Shift + R

This opens a prompt that allows you to recalculate the working temperature regime and capacity possibility of the installed radiator, based on it’s UA-value. This only works correctly on zone-connected components. Look at the page Step 5.2: Downsizing for more information.
