Adding a New Branch

You can add a new branch to the existing electrical branch geometry. A branch is a set of segments that share the same center curve.

Before you begin:
  • Create an electrical branch geometry and fully define the first branch (i.e. associate geometry and define route).
  • Do not select anything in the work area.
  1. From the Branch section of the action bar, click Classic Branch Definition .
    The Branch Definition dialog box appears.
    Important: If you did not define the geometry and route of the first branch when you created the electrical branch geometry, the system edits the first branch. No new branch is added.

    The second branch is added to the tree under the Branch Set.

  2. Optional: Set the branch parameters.
  3. Click Route Definition and route the segment.
  4. Click OK in the Branch Definition dialog box when done.
    Branch.2 is fully defined with associated geometry and route.

Tip: You can also add a branch with predefined attributes set in Data Setup. For more information, see Creating Branches with Predefined Attributes.
