You create the (micro)ducts in a multiduct object by generating them. In order for ducts to be generated, you must first have specified Type of multiduct in the attribute form of the multiduct. The Type attribute specifies the number of microducts in the multiduct. You can choose to enter the number of ducts in connection with placing the multiduct in the location map, or afterwards.

Generation of ducts when placing multiduct

Before placing a multiduct object in the location map, make sure the Generate Ducts checkbox is selected. When you then place the multiduct in the map, it automatically gets the number of ducts you enter in the attribute form.
