nezarazo Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 Iam really sorry as I told u Iam new here and I am not aware of the system Sorry again and thanks for ur effort Quote
tzframpton Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 First thing is this, when you are drawing in "2D" in Plan View, AutoCAD MEP is building everything in 3D. When you're in Plan View, it just displays as 2D. As for your problem it looks like you got a routing setting off alignment. When you start the DUCTADD command, look and see what the Slope is set to in the Properties Palette. Make sure this is always at 0 for routing duct normally. Quote
nezarazo Posted February 9, 2012 Author Posted February 9, 2012 stykface,thanks for your reply...you are right i tried it and it is working with some changes also with the elevation as well as start point elevation under the placement item in the properties pallete which i make all zeros. thank you again... how many years are you working with mep?

tzframpton Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 It's coming on six years with AutoCAD MEP now. Quote
