    How to assign phase levels to 3D cables in Bentley Substation CONNECT

    Product(s): Bentley Substation
    Version(s): 10.05.00.35
    Environment: N/A
    Area: 3D Layout Features
    Subarea: Insert Cable/Bus Object

    Background

    In Bentley Substation CE Update5 we introduced the ability to select unique phase levels for cables or bus so that they can easily be distinguished for clash detection purposes.

    Steps to Accomplish

    1.  Click Insert Cable/Bus Object 3D Design, select a cable, and click Insert to initiate the cable placement. 




    2.  Select the desired Phase Level from Placement Options dialog.



    3. Select the Hook points between to and from equipment between which Cable/Bus needs to be placed, and after selecting both the Hook point if using Hook point method for placing the cable Cable/Bus Setting dialog will appear and then click Ok after making required changes in the settings

    Note: Specify the Sag Algorithm and other desired settings as seen in below Cable/Bus Object Setting dialog and then Click OK to the to complete the placement.

    Alternative Steps to Accomplish

    The Properties Control allows you to set a ‘Phase’ property which can be applied to any cable / bus that you insert while the Properties Control is running. The Phase you set in the Properties Control will drive the default Phase level in the Cable / Bus Placement Options dialog.

    1. Click 3D design -> Properties control and set the ‘Phase’ Property to the desired phase.



    2. Click Insert Cable/Bus Object 3D Design, select a cable, and click Insert to initiate the cable placement. 



    3. Notice the Phase Level in the Placement Options dialog corresponds with the selected phase in the Properties Control by default. You can override the level if desired by selecting a different level from the picklist.


    4. Select the Hook points between to and from equipment between which Cable/Bus needs to be placed, and after selecting both the Hook point if using Hook point method for placing the cable Cable/Bus Setting dialog will appear.



    5. Specify the Sag and other desired settings and then Click OK to the Cable/Bus Object Settings dialog to complete the placement.

    Note: If you want to visualize the phases in different colors you can set different colors for the levels or utilize the Thematic Manager.
