Cable Tray Component

The Cable Tray component element(s) are owned by Branch elements. These components dictate the shape and geometry of the cable tray. Cable tray components can run from the head to tail of the owning branch but can also be connected to other branches (for example - a tee component). For further information, refer to the figure below, and to Cable Tray Components.

You are not able to make any selections from the Cable Tray tab if the correct database hierarchy has not been configured beforehand. For example certain cable tray elements must reside below other elements in the database hierarchy (an overview of the database hierarchy is described in Hierarchy).

If a particular cable tray element cannot be created at the current position in the database hierarchy you receive an error message summarizing the problem, for example in the following window an error explains that the element you are attempting to create must be below a branch element.
