Would like a new cable report template that summarizes cable lengths by type per catalog

In situations where we want to estimate the installation cost, we need the summarized cable length for a cable type, depending on the different raceway systems (catalogs) that are used, when a cable is routed. Currently, only one summarized length...

Would like Cable Schedule to include section cuts that cables pass through

It should be possible to document the section cuts (names of the section cuts), a cable passes through on its way in a separate column.

Would like ability to better customize the cable pull cards

It would be helpful if cable pull cards could be more customized to allow options like: Exclude length for air gaps Exclude additional lengths However, it would be still good to include these lengths in the overall total length calculation. See at...

Create Raceway ID on same level as the raceway

Would like a setting to create the Raceway ID on same level as selected raceway´s. The setting could possibly be added to Options>CAD Standards>Levels dialog and set entry like this: e.g. Raceway ID =<Raceway Voltage Level>

Optimize multiple small RW sections into largest catalog available RW section

It happens that one straight RW section contains multiple smaller RW sections. for example instead of having 1 10 ft section, you may end up with one 4' and one 6' section next to each other. This creates problems with supports locations. Ideally,...

Options: Raceway Specifications - Enhance Routing filters

In the Options>Raceway Specifications dialog it should be possible to combine the properties for routing filters with operators like 'and' 'or'. Example: A cable should be allowed to use CTRL or IW raceways for routing. At the moment, it's not ...

We should support placing conduit in a oblique direction in 3D

Currently the conduit only can be placed in a oblique direction on 2D plane, it cannot be placed in a oblique direction in 3D, the x, y, z values changed together which would sometimes be helpful.

Plastic flexible conduits as a single part

When using the raceway generator it would be nice to be able to generate flexible conduit that follows a spline curve and adds couplers whenever required. We want to ensure that we can report on the flexible conduit and coupler parts accurately in...

Interface to cable calculation tool, e.g. Siemens SIMARIS

Sometimes there is a request from users to have an analytic tool in BRCM to check the necessary cable type and size. I guess a better solution than to create a new tool in BRCM will be to check a possible interface to Siemens SIMARIS.
