Place cables in ducts

 

This function create and place cables in ducts that are selected by placing a polygon around the cross sections of the ducts. If the ducts are connected to other ducts, e.g. as part of a multiduct design, the cables will extend also to the connected ducts.

The created cables have a standard configuration that sets the ID of the cables to the same ID as the parent pipe. That configuration can be modified, please contact Digpro for help.

This function requires the Designer module.

The selection of ducts is based on cross section symbols for the ducts. Ducts that are geographically present within the polygon but that does not have a cross section presence will not get included in the command.
