Here is a screenshot showing the result of a vertical three-way connection:
This type of vertical connector cannot be created automatically with conventional methods, and attempting to do so often leads to issues such as:
Now, let’s walk through how to manually add a Y-shaped tee.
Step 1: Draw ducts extending in three different directions.
Step 2: Add a section view and enter it to manually place the Y-shaped tee. Flip and rotate the tee to the desired angle. Adjust the connector size accordingly. Note that in the section view, the duct’s width corresponds to its height in the plan view, and the duct’s height corresponds to its width in the plan view.
Step 3: Return to the plan view and connect the Y-shaped tee to the ducts.
