When a Selection Table has been selected in the Class drop-down then the window changes to display as follows:

In this example the Class has been set to MCT Cable Transit which is a Selection Table that has been configured in the catalog database.
Each Selection Table contains one or more penetration sub-classes which are selected from the Type drop-down list.
The Hole Shape Parameters section of the Cable Hole Management Definition window previously visible when the Class was set to Standard Type is now replaced by the Hole shape selection section. The drop-down lists represent penetration selection criteria defined in the catalog database.
As the selections are made in the drop-down lists, the number of penetrations available for selection in the Penetration drop-down is filtered to those penetration components that match the current selection criteria. If the Penetration drop-down contains no entries then there are no items in the catalog that match the current selection criteria.
The Properties option displays the standard catalog component parameters window where any user defined dimensions of the penetration piece are defined.
Click OK on the window to create an entry in the Hole Management system.
The next step is to change the status of each new penetration to Requested using the Hole Management window. Refer to Create Pipe Penetration with a Penetration Component for further information.
