Specify conduit angle (negative or positive) on floor plan

Specify conduit angle (negative or positive) on floor plan

In order to draw a conduit to go over some conduits that are on the same level, you'd have to first cut the conduit and raise the middle portion before going into a section view and drawing the two sides of the raised conduit at specified angle (15,30, 46, etc) and trimming the two ends so that it's one continuous conduit.

 

If we are able to specify the negative or positive angle in the floor plan, you don't need to go into a section view, and can still draw the conduit at 30 degree (to raise it up over the same elevation conduit) or -30 degree to lower it to go under the same elevation conduit.  After, you can specify the elevation of the next conduit run and continue drawing conduits.  

 

Going into section view slows down the routing process.  Hopefully everyone can agree and vote this up.  Thanks!

Sounds great. It would be nice if they changed the bend radius tables to be accurate instead of taking up far more space than is actually the case with a hand bender and former. The bends are nearly twice the size they should be, this makes small areas impossible to set out neatly when the actual conduit on site fits easily.
