- Do not assign tees
- Always assign tees
- Assign tees only if a pipe is linked in the supply pipe.
However, this applies only to the programs from IDAT GmbH (SpriCad for AutoCAD, SpriCad for BricsCad and SpriCad for Revit). For external CAD programs, the choice between always assigning tees to sprinklers or not still applies.
SpriCad for Revit

This sprinkler is then shown in the report. However, flow and pressure are correct.
CAD general
(F): If an additional length with 1 mm precision (e.g. 4.333 m) was entered for a pipe, it was incorrectly listed as a special component in the installation list. You can avoid this by entering the special length rounded to 1 cm (e.g. 4.330 m).

SpriCad for Revit
(N): There are now 2 ways to determine the diameter of a pipe.
- As before, using the nominal diameter of the pipe, from which the internal diameter is determined via the equivalent length table.
- Using the internal diameter of the pipe to look up the entry in the equivalent length table directly. The pipe is assigned its own (fictitious) DN value in order to determine the correct internal diameter.
(N): Several dialogs have been made easier to use.
Version 4.22
Release date: 24.03.2022
