Route pipes and turn them into cable trays!!! Change the length of the trays in the model. Smart Tray will provide additional flexibility to my Python Cable Tray app users.

General Usage Instructions

The app has the following main functions and a setting. 

1. Tray Length

You can change the length of any cable tray in the 3D space if it was created with my Python Cable Tray app without going into the properties window.

2. Flip Tray

It is possible to rotate a straight cable tray by 180 degrees, so you can change its length from the "other" end.

3. Flip Tray Bend

From now on it is possible to flip a bend if it is upside-down.

4. Pipe Replace

With this function, you can draw your cable trays like pipes. Draw the pipes, insert the bends, tees and reducers as you would while routing pipelines.

5. Tray Replace

This command will turn all cable trays back to pipes.

6. Tray Name

It can auto-generate the Short Description and the Long Description (Size) for any cable tray.

7. Tray List

This command can also generate CSV files
