Ask Algo to draw underfloor heating sections from your plan. It prepares a saved draft: the sections with their pipes, the supply runs to the manifold by the shortest way through the doors, edge zones by the windows where the floor alone cannot cover the heat loss, and movement joints. Algo reads the rooms, doors and windows from the plan, and the app computes the drawing with no AI model, so the same plan gives the same drawing. Review it on the exact floor, correct it with Algo or on the canvas, then apply your selection. Existing sections stay in place.
The whole run is on video - under three minutes from uploaded house plans, through the heat loss, to a finished report. The same process is written out step by step below.
Prefer to draw them yourself? An underfloor heating project drawn from scratch is in the manual recording.
Choose the floor plan
Ask Algo to draw UFH sections. Use the attached file as the floor plan explicitly, or upload it in UFH. The canvas keeps its existing PDF/CAD page picker.
Set the scale
Algo takes the scale from the plan's dimensions or from the room areas printed on it. When it cannot read one, the action opens calibration after the read: mark a known distance. The drawing then follows without a second read.
Follow the generation
Algo shows progress for the saved request. You can leave the conversation and return to the same draft.
Review and correct
Review the sections with their pipes, the supply runs and the manifold on the plan. On a storey with no manifold, the app places one itself, one per 14 loops, and says so in the draft: "Manifold placed automatically - move it if it belongs elsewhere, then press Recalculate." A manifold already on the storey is never moved. You correct doors and windows in the draft, and the scale with "Correct the scale".
Move or reshape an outline, assign its room, adjust structural exclusions, or ask Algo for a correction. Each section has its own checkbox. Overlapping proposals start unchecked; you can include them.
Apply the selected sections
Apply saves exactly the selected sections and preserves existing ones. Missing areas remain identified. New Applies have no Undo; you can manually edit or delete the saved sections.
Complete the heating design
When no supply run can reach a loop, the app does not force one: the loop's panel gives the reason, and you draw that run by hand. After you move a manifold with automatic runs, press "Route the feeders again". Adjust the design settings with the existing UFH tools.
The draft does not replace engineering review. Legacy generation receipts that already offered Undo retain their original window.
