Displays the general properties of the cableway that you are routing.
Because cableway run properties are customizable in the reference data, only the properties that are required by the software are documented.
Cableway properties are divided into several different categories: Standard, Surface Treatment and Coating, Cable Fill, Maintenance Volume, and Responsibility. You select which category that you want to define values for by using the Category option.
Standard
System
Displays or defines the system for the cableway. The last system that you selected is the default. Select More to display all defined systems. You can create a new system in the Systems and Specifications task.
Cableway
Displays or defines the name of the cableway that you are creating.
Specification
Displays or defines the specification for the cableway. Specifications are assigned to systems in the Systems and Specifications task. Only those specifications that are allowed in the system that you selected appear. You define specifications in the reference data. See the Smart 3D Electrical Reference Data Help for information on defining specifications.
Cableway Type
Specifies the cableway type.
Is Covered
Specifies whether the cableway has a cover. By default, the cableway inherits the properties from the cableway run.
Surface Treatment and Coating
Interior Coating Requirement
Specifies the interior coating requirement for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Coating Type sheet in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook in the reference data.
Interior Coating Type
Specifies the type of interior coating for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Coating Type sheet in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook in the reference data.
Interior Coating Area
Specifies the area of the interior coating for the object.
Exterior Coating Requirement
Specifies the coating requirement for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Coating Type select list in Catalog.
Rule Driven
Specifies that a rule drives the value. This is the default option. Click to switch to User Driven .
User Driven
Allows you to select a value. Click to switch to Rule Driven .
Exterior Coating Type
Specifies the type of coating for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Exterior Coating Type select list in Catalog.
Rule Controlled
Specifies that a rule defined for a parent property controls the value. If Rule Controlled does not display, you can select a value.
Exterior Coating Area
Specifies the area of the coating for the object.
Coating Color
Specifies the color of the object coating. To change the options on the list, edit the Coating Color select list in Catalog. Smart 3D includes this property in the painting area report.
Rule Controlled
Specifies that a rule defined for a parent property controls the value. If Rule Controlled does not display, you can select a value.
Cable Fill
Fill Efficiency
Specifies the efficiency of the stacking of cables in the cableway. Type a real number, integer, or percent. For example, type 0.9, 90, or 90%.
Signal Type
Specifies the signal that passes through the cable, which Smart 3D uses in tray fill calculations. To change the options on the list, edit the Signal Type select list in Catalog.
Voltage Grade
Specifies the voltage grade, which Smart 3D uses when determining the range of voltage that the cableway can carry. To change the options on the list, edit the Voltage Grade select list in Catalog.
Maintenance Volume
A maintenance volume is space reserved for installing and maintaining cables in a cable tray and can be defined at the cableway level and optionally overridden at the feature level. You can also define maintenance volumes for duct banks to reserve space for a mud mat below the duct bank. Use the Format > View command to turn on the Maintenance aspect so you can see the maintenance volumes in the model.
Maintenance Volume Properties Option
Select Use Run Properties to use the maintenance volume properties defined for the parent run. Select Default Feature Properties to define maintenance volume settings that are unique for this feature. This option is only available when editing the properties of a feature.
Maintenance Shape
Specifies the maintenance volume shape: Rectangle, Round, or Flat Oval.
Maintenance Diameter
Specifies the diameter of the maintenance volume. This option is only available when Maintenance Shape is set to Round.
Maintenance Width
Specifies the width of the maintenance volume. This option is only available when Maintenance Shape is set to Rectangle or Flat Oval.
Maintenance Depth
Specifies the depth of the maintenance volume. This option is only available when Maintenance Shape is set to Rectangle or Flat Oval.
Maintenance Justification
Specifies how the maintenance volume (gray box below) aligns with the feature (blue cross section below). There are ten options available: (1) Top Left, (2) Top Center, (3) Top Right, (4) Center Left, (5) Center Center, (6) Center Right, (7) Bottom Left, (8) Bottom Center, (9) Bottom Right, and User Defined.
Maintenance Width Offset
Specifies the width offset distance. This option is only available when Maintenance Justification is set to User Defined.
Maintenance Depth Offset
Specifies the depth offset distance. This option is only available when Maintenance Justification is set to User Defined.
Responsibility
Cleaning Responsibility
Select the party responsible for cleaning the cableway. If you want to add, edit, or remove values that are available for selection, edit the Cleaning Responsibility select list in the Catalog task.
Design Responsibility
Select the party responsible for designing the cableway. If you want to add, edit, or remove values that are available for selection, edit the Design Responsibility select list in the Catalog task.
