Create cable tray openings in walls and floors in Revit
Automate wall and floor openings where cable trays intersect, with support for linked models and customizable clearances.
Overview
This command automates the creation of openings in walls and floors at cable tray intersections in Revit. It streamlines MEP and structural coordination by eliminating repetitive manual tasks while supporting advanced configuration options.
Key Features
Automatic Intersection Detection
The tool identifies where cable trays cross host elements and generates corresponding openings, reducing manual work and enhancing accuracy.
Linked Model Support
Cable trays from linked electrical models can be included to ensure proper coordination across disciplines when systems are modeled separately.
Manual Cable Tray Selection
Users can specify particular cable trays for opening creation, maintaining control over project modifications.
Flexible Application Options
Openings can be applied to walls, floors, or both depending on project requirements and construction methodology.
Adjustable Clearance Settings
Define custom gap spacing around each opening to accommodate installation tolerances during construction.
Opening Consolidation
Multiple nearby penetrations can be merged into a single opening based on a configurable merge tolerance threshold, simplifying geometry.
