Flex whips for Connections

1 votes

I am developing a complete Branch rough/in drawing and have noticed there is no way to draw a Flex whip or any type of flexible connection. Also I don't see in your tool selection 4-11/16" J/Box's. there are wall rough components but not overhead j/box's. Thanks for taking the time to look at these suggestions.

Go to eVolve Electrical tab > Settings > System Family Configuration > Flex.
You may have to load families if there are no types, but once you have the "eE_Fx_..." elements loaded you can double click the type you want to place and it comes in as "flexible pipe". Since it is an eVolve element you can also assign a run id and it'll add to the conduit run schedule. However, there is no "flex" option for the "conduit standard" inside of the run schedule so you can't get accurate conduit fill percentages for it. But it does attach to the connectors from the family browser so you have the ability to transition from metal conduit to flex with all the fittings.
Hope this helps, I just learned this last week after digging through some of the settings. Now I have flex going to my transformers :)
