Modifying HVAC Equipment You can modify an MvPart, such as its size, location, or system assigned to its connectors. You can also use grips to efficiently move MvParts. For more information, see Modifying Components Using Grips on page 220. RELATED See Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Equipment in Building Systems on page 76. Modifying HVAC MvPart Location Use this procedure to specify coordinates for the exact location of mechanical parts in a drawing. This procedure will not maintain connectivity with a system, but it does allow you to specify exact coordinates for the location of a part. NOTE The most efficient way to move a part, especially relative to other objects in the building plan, is to use Location grips; the grips move a part while maintaining its connectivity to a duct system. For more information, see Moving Duct Components on page 221. To move a part 1 Select the part, and click Equipment tab ➤ Modify panel ➤ Equipment Properties . 2 In the Multi-view Part Properties dialog, click the Location tab. 3 Select the coordinates (world or current) on which to base the location. 230 | Chapter 6 Drawing HVAC Systems
