Q & A Q1: What is the Altech Selection Tool and what is its main purpose? A1: The Altech Selection Tool (also known as Altech Plug-in) is a software application designed to streamline the process of selecting and inserting Altech radiator and convector products into MagiCAD. Its main purpose is to simplify the product selection and insertion workflow. This will enhance the efficiency for user to design in their HVAC-projects. Q2: Which CAD platforms are compatible with the Altech Selection Tool and which versions do they support? A2: The Altech Selection Tool is compatible to MagiCAD for AutoCAD. It supports a range of versions, including MagiCAD 2022-2023 or later versions. Q3: Can you change the supply and return temperature in the Selection Tool? A3: No, the system temperature retrieved from MagiCAD project management. In order to change the system temperature, you have to change in the project. Q4: Can users customize their product selections based on specific parameter? A4: Yes, users can tailor their product selections by applying filters based on product type, height range, length range, and effective power. These filters enable users to precisely match products with their project requirements. Q5: How is the thermal output of radiators calculated by the Altech Selection Tool? A5: The tool calculates the thermal output of radiators according to DIN4703-3 standards, using manufacturer-specific coefficients, supply and return temperatures, and room temperature. This calculation helps users assess the heating capacity of radiators. Q6: In which languages is the user interface available, and how can users switch between them? A6: The default language for the user interface is English, but users have the option to switch to Swedish. This feature accommodates users who are more comfortable with different language preferences. Q7: What is the process for inserting products using the Selection Tool in MagiCAD? A7: Users begin by selecting a heating system, supply, and return pipes in their project. The tool guides them through the selection process and subsequently inserts the chosen products. See the videos for detail information and the process throughout the Selection Tool. Q8: Why are user codes important for products and how are they managed? A8: User codes are essential for identifying and categorizing products within a family. Each product and product set should have a unique user code. The Selection Tool automatically generates default user codes for products. But can easily change the user code for your specific requirements, simplifying the management process.
