PlantSpace Design Series Raceway

Just started using PlantSpace Design Series XM 08.09.04.17. I like some of the new changes in Raceway, like the ladder cable tray, however my horizontal and vertical fittings doesn't draw with "rungs" like the straight sections of tray. This makes for a very unprofessional looking presentation in the model. It looks as if we made a mistake or that our software is not as sophisticated as other software used by our competetion. Is this something that will be addressed in a several of years with the next version, or do we go back to using the solid tray even though in real life that is not what we are using?

TIA

  • Ian,

    One other problem to look at before the next version comes out is that if I draw a piece of tray ≈ 200' long it will not maintain a constant elevation (e.g.  I start at 68' elevation and the end is at 67'-11 7/16") this varies by length of tray but consistantly downnill. Maybe since I am now using solid bottom tray PlantSace want it to drain ? Played with the "Placement Settings" - "Align Tolerance"  with no effect. I have even drawin a line with both ends at the 68' elevation and snapped to both ends when placing the tray and still get the same results. I have no view rotation, design file settings accuracy to 1/16". Not a huge deal, but  when you check the elevation to label the tray it is wrong.

  • Hi Mike,

    What version are you using? I just placed a 200' long tray using PSDS 8,.9.4.34 and the beginning and ending elevtations are identical. Hopefully this has been resolved with this version.
