Creating Family Types
You can create unique family types for conduit and cable tray system
families. Select a conduit or cable tray in the model, and click the Edit Type
button in the Properties palette. Or you can double-click a conduit or cable
tray family in the Project Browser to access the Type Properties dialog box
for that family. Click the Duplicate button in the dialog box to create a new
family type. Give the new family type a descriptive name that defines the
type. You can then assign fittings or parameter values that make the type
unique from other types within the family. The newly created family type
will be available in the Type Selector when you're placing conduit or cable
tray.
The types of conduit and cable tray that you most commonly use should be
defined in your project templates for easy access. Additional fittings can be
loaded to create unique family types if the project requires them.
