    Default Cable Tray Fitting bend default radius

    Hey folks,
    I was wondering if there is an option of changing the default radius on bends, at the moment the default radius seems to be the width of the bend, is there a way to change this so that it defaults to, say 300mm, and then if I need to change it I can.

    Thanks.

    I don't think you can change the settings of the default radius for the bends on the fitting(s) when drawing a cable tray run and the fittings are placed automatically. You can go into the cable fittings instance properties and change the Bend Radius to whatever figure you wish at any point.

    Alternatively you could go into the family it self and look at adjusting the formulas within families parameters.

    A bit late, but since I was wondering the same thing I'll post my solution:

    You can change the default Bend Radius Multiplier in the cable tray properties (edit type). It will adjust the bend radius to a factor dependent of the width.

    Hi,

    Does anyone faced that in the Cable tray modelling all the Joints (90o OR 45o bends) are getting removed from the model and noticed that in warnings its says these elements are having duplicate 'Mark Values'. does any one knows the remedy for this. we are using Revit 2016 and the Cable tray family we are using system family.
    appreciate for your help in this regards

    Thanks
    Binu
