Cable Routing - Cable Laying Methods
Displays when you select the Cable Routing > Cable Laying Methods tab from the Options dialog. The Cable Laying Methods grid lets you configure the methods for how cable is run in a specific raceway component type such as cable tray, conduit, duct bank etc. Bentley Raceway and Cable Management has a default method defined (Multi-Layer), but this section lets you define fill methods for specific raceway systems (components) which will be used to overwrite the default method.
