Multiple conduits from a surface connector
Cable Tray Connector
The Cable Tray Connector button on the
Create tab in the Family Editor allows you to place a point of connection
for cable tray. These connectors are similar to the individual conduit
connector, having properties for the angle and for setting the height and
width of the connector.
Electrical Connector
Clicking the Electrical Connector button on the
Create tab in the Family Editor allows you to place a point of connection
for wiring, which will also define the type of system in which the
equipment can be used. The Options Bar allows you to define the
system of the connector prior to placement.
Face Option
When you're placing electrical connectors on equipment families, the
Face option for placement is usually best. Electrical connectors do not
have a direction property, and the wiring can be drawn to any point on
the equipment. You would need to use the Work Plane placement
option if you had to move the connector for easier access or because it
interfered with another connector. Just be sure not to place multiple
connectors on the same face when using the Face option or they will be
difficult to select when you're working in a project.
