Raceway routing enhancements

Please can you enhance the race way routing to also automatically place bends, tees and reducers in much the same way as piping does.

At the moment you have to route a straight section then place the bend which does not have a center insert point then move it back to to follow a predetermine lines.

Also please allow inserting of tees when you start routing a new raceway, at the moment you have to place a tee and then route your new raceway.

Reducers must be placed manually before a different size is selected, please allow for automatic population of the reducing section based on where you select the smaller raceway, either centre reduce, left or right reduce.

How frequently will feature be used? A few times a day
How much time will you save? The routing is very slow as auto populate functions does not exist, much time will be saved.

    Hi Abbas

    You are correct, it does exist in BRCM.

    However, the basic raceway modelling in OPM is good for volumetric modelling in instances where the extra license for BRCM is not available.

    It would still be nice to get some of the functionality in OPM without having to buy a BRCM license.

    Bentley Raceways & Cable Management modeling tools are now part of OpenPlant Modeler. Our plan is to further streamline this integration for better accessibility in future releases. The required functionality as detailed in this idea is already available in Bentley Raceways and Cable Management tool.
