+[[https://graphivac.hvac.io/#/o/public/p/P-cBZ5F9AJC3/g/G-NC4K3VbOZ8|Graphivac]] is a software to make and visualize HVAC drawings.
-===== Symbols =====
+A free version can be downloaded from [[https://hvac.io/products/graphivac|HVAC.IO]].
-Symbols are the link between the object on the grid and its visual representation.
+{{:suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac.png?400|}}
-Internally, symbols are identified by a hierarchical ID, such as "**duct.sensor.temperature**".
+**First time in Graphivac? You probably want to check the [[suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:modes:editor|Editor]] instructions**
-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.
-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.
+===== Controls =====
+These are universal controls and should work in all modes.
+  * Pan : <key>ctrl+alt+click</key> or <key>w</key> <key>a</key> <key>s</key> <key>d</key> or <key>↑</key> <key>←</key> <key>→</key> <key>↓</key> or Mouse wheel click
+  * 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 =====
