LydiaGP Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Hello, I am drawing some projects from an old textbook, to expand my portfolio. I'm not sure what information to include in the drawing of a transition piece. Could someone with a familiarity with HVAC drawings check this drawing for me and let me know what other dimensions/information would be expected on this drawing? Also, if you notice any problem with accuracy, I would appreciate if you would let me know. Unit 25 Transition.dwg Thanks, Lydia Unit 25 Transition.dwg Quote
ReMark Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) That looks very similar to the HVAC project drawing (see image below) that Penn-Foster students were assigned. The intent of the drawing is to show true lengths of the transition piece is it not? Edited April 28, 2014 by ReMark Quote
LydiaGP Posted April 28, 2014 Author Posted April 28, 2014 Good eye. It's not the same, but very similar. I completed the Penn Foster program (thanks for the help you've provided in the past, as I referenced several threads here several times). I was wanting to do a few more transition pieces/sheet metal drawings for my portfolio, so I got this example from a text book my dad used when he was in school. I don't really know how they are supposed to look in the real world though. I did make two changes since I posted that. I put all the line labels on a layer and turned that layer on, and I did a table with line lengths, similar to what Penn Foster required in their drawing. I'm not really sure what information would be expected in the real world on a drawing like that though. Any tips would be appreciated. Quote
ReMark Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 HVAC is not my strong suit so I'm afraid I'll have to defer to those who know better than I what additional information you would need to show. You can find images of transition pieces rectangular-to-round quite easily on the Internet if you want to know what one would look like. Quote
LydiaGP Posted April 28, 2014 Author Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) OK, thanks! Edited April 28, 2014 by LydiaGP phone doesn't play well with forum Quote
ReMark Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Rectangle-to-round transition constructed using the Loft command. The measurements used were taken from the P-F drawing example in my first post. Quote
