Chimney¶

Create Chimney¶

	Construction parts toolbar
	AR Objects menu > Chimney

Click on the CREATE CHIMNEY function to enable the settings for the last chimney drawn. The chimney can immediately be placed. A chimney is generated from previously drawn contours or from a library part.

Chimney property bar¶

The property bar is visible as soon as the CREATE CHIMNEY function is started or if an existing chimney is edited.
You can manipulate the main values in the chimney's property bar.

Chimney parameters¶

chimney_params_
You can open the chimney parameters via the property bar or by double-clicking the chimney to be modified.

General parameters¶

Renovation planning state
Freeze
Type
Layer

The general parameters for architectural objects are described in chapter Architecture objects.

Dimensions¶

chiminey-parameter-dimensions
Depending on the height definition, you can enter the lower edge and the chimney height.

Room-dividing¶

If a chimney is dividing rooms, then it is treated as boundary for the calculation of room areas.

Exterior chimney¶

A chimney can be classified as exterior or interior chimney.

Entry¶

Height reference¶

The chimney does not react to level floors or roofs. The heights are read from the height section.

Chimney with free height¶

storeyref_free_free_
The lower edge and height of this chimney can be freely defined.

Chimney from slab to ceiling¶

storeyref_bot_top_
The chimney leads from the upper edge of the slab to the lower edge of the ceiling.

Chimney from underside floor to ceiling¶

storeyref_bot_top_ The chimney leads from the lower edge of the floor to the lower edge of the ceiling.

Chimney to ceiling¶

storeyref_free_top_
The chimney leads from any specified height to the lower edge of the ceiling. This would apply to a stove with a chimney that only starts at a specific height.

Chimney from floor¶

storeyref_bot_free_
The chimney leads up from the upper edge of the floor to any specified height. This reference should be selected for the top floor in order to lead the chimney out through the roof.

Chimney from underside floor¶

storeyref_storey_free_
The chimney leads from the lower edge of the floor to any specified height. This reference should be selected for the top floor in order to lead the chimney out through the roof.

Remove chimney from wall¶

chimney-cut-out-checkmark
If you select this option, walls in which a chimney is placed have automatic cutouts created in 2D and in 3D. Allowing for a chimney to be directly drawn into the wall.

Parameter¶

chiminey-parameter-parameter

The chimney can be limited at the top or bottom ends with a certain layer group of the ceiling/floor.

Workshop

Create chimney
After launching the CREATE function, you are prompted for a contour to serve as the basis of the chimney definition. After you click on this contour (which will need to have been created in advance), a 3D chimney is generated from it according to the settings in the parameter window.

create-chiminey2
For a simple chimney, you can also use two attached contours. The chimney hatch is always generated solely between the two outer polygons of the chimney's definition. When making your selection, you must always click the outer contour first.

However, the 2D depiction may be significantly more complex (e.g. libraries from chimney manufacturers).
