Steel Hang

Layer(s) affected:                   HANGERS

Alias:                                       STH

Associated Commands:         [Insert One Hanger] [Setup] [Auto Hang]

HydraCAD Ribbon:                 Insert Panel

Used to insert hangers on pipes which intersect with selected steel joists or beams.

Start the command and HydraCAD will prompt you to choose whether you want hangers placed on Lines, Mains or Both types of piping.

You can also choose to erase previous hanger inserted on these pipes. Press OK and you will be prompted to pick steel objects. Pick the lines representing beams, joists, etc. These can be drawn in any layer – the only important thing is that they are AutoCAD Lines. Hangers will be inserted at all points where the picked steel intersects with the types of pipes you chose.

Be careful not to pick Steel members outside of areas which are elevated with building DefLines. This will lead to inaccurate hanger lengths.

*Tip* - If you are hanging from concrete tees or wood, you can draw in lines to represent these and then choose them with this command.

If Hang From Bottom was selected for the Hanger Setup, Use Steel Depth Blocks will become available. The specified Steel Depth will be used to modify the hanger rod length.
