Last updated 6 months ago

Planning the routing path is the second step in the beginner workflow, following the identification of terminal elements. At this stage, the user must determine the associated with the terminal elements. For a detailed overview of routing elements, refer to the section.

Based on the routing elements associated with the terminal elements, the scenario will fall into one of the following categories:


1. Terminal Elements Within the Same Routing Element

  • Example: Both the start and end elements are located within the same ceiling void.


2. Terminal Elements Within Adjacent Routing Elements

  • Example: The start element is in a plumbing chase, and the end element is in the ceiling void directly above it.


3. Terminal Elements Within Non-Adjacent Routing Elements

  • Example: The start element is in a floor element, and the end element is in a ceiling void above it.


Why Is This Step Important?

The decisions made during this step will guide the configurations in the next step, where users configure options in the Control Panel.
