Place ducts from node

This function allows you to place ducts from a node to a set of customer nodes by selecting a feeding node and then placing a polygon around customer nodes. For each selected customer node, a duct is placed in the shortest route path to the feeding node. The ducts are placed directly in the route.

The created cables and ducts have a standard configuration that sets the ID of the ducts. That configuration can be modified, please contact Digpro for help.

This function requires the Designer module.
