Tolerance
The Tolerance option in Plumbing Copilot allows users to adjust the dimensions of the extracted path walls by a specified tolerance value.
1. Setup
Select Unit Type
Choose the desired unit (e.g., millimeters or inches) from the dropdown menu next to the text box.
Set Drop Value
Enter the desired value in the text box.
Automatic Conversion
The entered Drop value will be automatically converted to match the selected unit.
2. How It Works
Tolerance Adjustment: When the tolerance value is specified, the dimensions of the walls in the planned path will be increased by the given tolerance. For example, adding a tolerance of 1 inch will increase the width, thickness, and height of the walls by 1 inch.
Impact on Routing: The increased wall dimensions affect the available space for the generated route. This may help avoid clashes with other elements or create more room for the routing process, especially in tight areas or areas where additional clearance is necessary.
Increasing the tolerance will result in a path that may appear outside the actual wall when visualized. This is because the virtual wall boundaries are expanded, allowing the routing path to be planned with extra clearance, even if that means the path extends beyond the wall’s real-world boundaries.
