Concrete encased option within Duct Spacers tool
Show geometry that can represent concrete along conduit ductbank run. Potentially down to a checkbox in the set up window. Coordination often needs to be done using the concrete as our geometry

Brad NydamThe duct bank spacer tool works great, but to accurately render the concrete fill a model element should be added that represents the concrete as other systems crossing the duct bank perpendicularly may clear the spacers, but clash with the concrete. I usually use a renamed cable tray to accomplish this, but a concrete fill checkbox that goes with the spacers would be better.

Phil Vrbas MergedThis tool would allow the user to populate concrete encasement for duct bank. The concrete encasement tool would work similar to the cable tray clearance tool. It would also be nice to have this option schedule the volume of concrete within the encasement

Vincent RamirezThis would be very helpful as we are always coordinating clearances around duct banks based off concrete as well as snapping bottom of trench. Currently I'm snapping bottom of conduit elevation, and the field is making a 3" depth adjustment for bottom of trench.

Nathan HooperI agree with Phil, I was imagining this feature working similarly to the cable tray clearance tool where you could select the conduits to encase and specify dimensions. It would be great if the "Place in Realtime" checkbox was available for this feature as well.
