Cable, trunk and cable trunking
The cable trunk was subject to various restrictions in version 7.3. Its flexibility was limited and only a help for the final drawing of electrical cables. With version 8, the situation changes radically. Trunking and cables have been converted to the basic functionality of polylines and have much more flexibility and intelligence. This change in structure will greatly accelerate and simplify the design of electrical installations. The trunk supports the search for the optimal route and thus becomes a real planning tool.
Attention:
All connection functions require Smart snap.

Possibly the shortest path trough a trunking system could not be desirable in reality. Therefore, you can manipulate the cable’s path by opening up segments in the trunking system. This forces the cable to take the desirable route. You can split existing trunk segments by removing the start and end node to which it is connected to another trunk (1). In order to open up an existing trunk segment you can select a sub segment inside the trunking system and delete it (2). Instruction video
