Create a riser diagram from selected devices |
Ribbon: FireCAD > Riser > Create Riser Diagram From Selection
Prerequisites
- A FireCAD project must be open
Overview
Creates a riser diagram from only the devices you select on the drawing, for example one floor or one wing. It uses the same Riser Options window as Creating a Riser, and only the selected devices are drawn.
Steps
- On the FireCAD Tools tab, open the Riser panel and choose Create Riser Diagram From Selection (or type
ATRISER_SELECTION). - The Riser Options window opens first. Choose the circuits and settings, then click Create Riser.
- Select the devices to include on the drawing, and press Enter.
- Pick a point to place the riser. You can zoom and pan before you pick.
Tips
- Include the panel in your selection, or the riser starts without it. A window selection (dragged left to right) takes only objects that are entirely inside it, so make sure the window covers the panel's room.
- The circuits ticked in the Riser Options window still apply: a selected device on a circuit you left out is not drawn.
