How to Draw Tee with Radius Elbow in HVAC Ducts



Hello Every One,

Today I will show you how to draw Rectangle Ducts Tee, using LISP.

Download the required lisp from here then add it to Autocad Lisps and run the Lisp by typing "tb" in the command bar then do as show below:

1-After running the lisp it will ask you to:
   -pick the outer side of the main duct.
   -pick the inner side of the main duct.
   -Enter air flow quantity (CFM) for the main 
   -pick the inner side of the first branch duct.
   -pick the outer side of the first branch duct.
   -pick the outer side of the second branch duct.
   -pick the inner side of the second branch duct.


2-Pick lines as shown in screenshot below:





3-After choosing lines as described above the lisp will draw the elbow for you !

Note: you can enter the proportion values for the CFM like(enter 6 for the main duct and if the flow is equally divided enter 3 for first branch and accordingly the scond will be calculated to be 3 or if not equally splits enter the proportion values for the division  for example "4:2")   

For more illustration see the video below:


Download the Lisp from here

Note: you can use this lisp to draw other duct fittings like duct elbows,duct branch with 45°take-off and duct branches with two elbow in same direction for more details see the below link

How to Draw Branches with 45° Take-Off




HVAC drawings with LISPS is awesome!

In this tutorial i will show you how to draw a duct branch from the main duct with 45° take-off.
do as described below and you find that drawing with lisp is very easy and faster.

1- Download the required lisp from here then add it to Autocad Lisps and run the Lisp by typing "tt" in the command bar then press enter.
2-After running the Lisp it will ask you to :
   -pick inner side of branch duct.
   -pick outer side of branch duct.
   -pick the direction of take-off from the main duct(which is the direction of flow)
See screenshot below:



3- pick lines as shown in the above screenshot and the Lisp will draw the required 45° take-off for you!

Autocad LISPS for HVAC Design Drawings



Download Lisp Files for HVAC Design Drawings

What is the AutoLISP ?
AutoLISP is based on the LISP programming language, which is simple to learn and very powerful. Because AutoCAD has a built-in LISP interpreter, you can enter AutoLISP code at the Command prompt or load AutoLISP code from external files.

AutoLISP is an application interface for automating of design tasks. When an AutoLISP application is loaded, it functions in its own namespace for each drawing that is open. A namespace is an insulated environment keeping AutoLISP applications that are specific to one drawing from having symbol or variable name and value conflicts with those in another drawing. For example, the following line of code sets a different value to the symbol a when executed in each open drawing.
