  5. If necessary, rotate the component locked on a pipe/duct before selecting its position.

  6. If necessary, mirror the component before selecting its position. Click the button:

  7. Select a position for the branch component as follows:
    • Confirm the centerline point you clicked earlier by clicking Confirm.
    • Click another point on the center line.
  8. Continue modeling the line by indicating the next point.
