4.1.2. Automatic connection check
On this page
Automatic connection check
The "Automatic connection check" function automatically detects when a placed support is not correctly connected to a pipe. This ensures that planning errors are identified immediately and the model quality is preserved.
Prerequisites
- You have successfully loaded the SuCri add-in.
- You have opened a pipe model with defined pipe classes.
Step-by-step guide
- Place the support: Select a support from the pipe class and place it on a free area or at the desired position in the model space.
-
Automatic detection:
The system automatically checks in the background whether a valid connection exists between the support and the corresponding pipe. If no connection is detected, the system colors the support red as a warning.
Expected result: Incorrectly placed or loose supports are immediately highlighted visually.
-
Carry out the correction:
Reposition the support so that it correctly snaps onto the pipe.
Expected result: As soon as the correct connection is established, the red marking disappears automatically.
Important notes
- Visual feedback: The color red always means that no valid connection exists. In this case, check the placement position and the connection logic.
- Quality assurance: This function prevents unconnected components and increases efficiency by quickly finding placement errors.
- Recommendation: Deactivating the warning is technically possible, but is not recommended, as the display represents a critical quality feature of the planning.
Troubleshooting
-
Problem: The support stays red even though it visually sits against the pipe.
Solution: Check whether the support geometry supports the required connection. Move the support slightly until the snapping is confirmed by the system. If necessary, check the support class or the connection conditions in the catalog.
