The Cable Tray application allows you to apply Fixed Length Tray (FTUB) Components to all or part of a cable tray branch. Fixed length trays replace sections of implied straights.
If you are not at the branch or component level in the Model Explorer an error message displays summarizing the problem, for example in the following window an error explains that the element you are attempting to connect to is not at a branch.
Make sure the correct branch or component is highlighted in the Model Explorer, on the Cable Tray tab, in the Tools group, click Fill with Straights to display the Fill Cable Tray B... window.
The Name of the current element displays by default.
The Fill drop-down list allows you to define the branch or components to which the applied Fixed Length Tray components are to be connected.
