Is the cable tray elevation the same as the bottom elevation

Specialty cable knowledge brief Published 21 May 2026

Prepared for preliminary research by the ZITHA SPECIALTY knowledge desk. Confirm fire performance, mechanical protection, loss budgets and installation requirements against current standards and product documentation.

Top of Cable Tray The elevations refer to the top of the cable tray. The cable tray will extend below these elevations. I have issue when rotating the cable tray running along the wall as shown and cable tray tag will measure the side of the tray instead the bottom of the tray as the BOT. 23 Minimum clearance in horizontal angle between tray and building wall shall be 300mm. These Matching Pipe OD values are now corrected in all sample catalogs in my Python Cable Tray app. Therefore, everyone using it can simply use the PLANTORTHOANNOTATE command in Plant3D. While drawing, ascending/descending cableways are done by selecting a new elevation in the drop-down menu.
