-----
-[[https://graphivac.hvac.io/#/o/public/p/P-cBZ5F9AJC3/g/G-NC4K3VbOZ8|Graphivac]] is a software to make and visualize HVAC drawings.
-A free version can be downloaded from [[https://hvac.io/products/graphivac|HVAC.IO]].
+===== Symbols =====
-{{:suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac.png?400|}}
+Symbols are the link between the object on the grid and its visual representation.
-**First time in Graphivac? You probably want to check the [[suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:modes:editor|Editor]] instructions**
+Internally, symbols are identified by a hierarchical ID, such as "**duct.sensor.temperature**".
+This hierarchical identification allows Graphivac to fallback to a higher level in case a given symbol is not found.
+For example, an organization may use "**duct.sensor.temperature.johnson-controls.TE-6300**" to represent a temperature sensor with a picture of their favorite product.
+If the user decides to use a new theme, he doesn't have to re-draw every single symbols in existence; he can simply create a more general "**duct.sensor**" and Graphivac will take care of using it as a fallback if the more precise symbol cannot be found.
-===== Controls =====
+While we at HVAC.IO made a basic hierachical system for the few default symbols provided, there is no official standard yet. The community is free to come up with a better system.
-These are universal controls and should work in all modes.
-  * Pan : <key>ctrl+alt+click</key>, <key>w</key> <key>a</key> <key>s</key> <key>d</key>, <key>↑</key> <key>←</key> <key>→</key> <key>↓</key>
-  * Zoom : Mouse wheel
-  * Fullscreen : <key>F11</key>
-  * Snapshot : <key>ctrl+p</key>
-  * Show all : <key>ctrl+alt+w</key>
-===== Modes =====
-{{ :suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:graphivac-principle.png?250| Historical / Live Mode principle}}
-Graphivac is designed to be able to support new modes as time goes by.
-Every mode can render objects differently and show different information, while using the same basic drawing.
-By default, Graphivac comes with 3 built-in modes:
-  * [[.graphivac:modes:editor|Editor]]
-  * [[suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:modes:live|Live]] (uses [[.wacnet|Wacnet]] to show live BACnet data)
-  * [[suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:modes:historical|Historical]] (uses [[.vigilia|Vigilia]] to show historical data)
-It's important to note that Graphivac is not limited to those 2 software; alternative live/historical APIs can be added with new modes.
-As of March 2017, the first sponsored mode is also included:
-  * [[suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:modes:saeb|SAEB]]
-SAEB features tools to group and categorize the various objects and help an external optimization software.
-===== Components =====
-The grids can be populated by components, each with their own characteristics.
-==== Objects (Symbols) ====
-Objects are 1x1 components used to display various symbols.
-{{:suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:favicon.png?50|}}
-While Graphivac comes with a few built-in symbols, the user is free to overwrite them and add new ones.
-==== Conduits (Ducts/Pipes) ====
-Conduits are arbitrary long, but always 1 unit in width.
-When a conduit ends on another conduit of the same type, it connects with it.
-This behavior can be seen below:
-{{:suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:conduits-connect.png?200|}}
-==== Templates ====
-Templates are used when a representation should be used multiple times.
-The typical use of this component is to show rooms.
-You draw a typical room and then specify how many times it should be repeated, along with names and possibly BACnet links.
-{{:suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:templates.png?400|}}
-==== Enclosures ====
-Enclosures are used to represent a single closed space, such as a room or a pool.
-{{:suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:graphivac-enclosure.png?250|}}
-===== Relations =====
-Under the hood, a powerful relation algorithm is building relations between all the components present on a grid.
-{{:suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:demo-relation-grid.png?400|}}{{:suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:demo-relations.png?120|}}
-(This feature is used by the [[suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:modes:saeb|SAEB mode]] to enable a much more precise analysis.)
-===== Requirements =====
-Client : A modern web browser
-Server : Java 8
-===== Installation =====
