Background
In Bentley Raceway & Cable Management, Cable Routing settings that controls the automatic selection of nearby raceway routes can be adjusted. A bounding sphere, at the equipment, is used by the automatic cable routing function to determine possible cable routes. When a raceway route intersects any part of a bounding sphere, those routes are a valid cable routing path to the equipment. Therefore, a raceway route does not necessarily need to connect directly to the equipment for the path to be consider as a valid cable routing path.
