Drop Point

 

Cable Route

A drop point represents the location where cables are delivered, like a wall box, floor pocket, socket on the wall, or cables coming out of the wall.

A 3D equipment rack is considered to be a drop point.

To add a drop point to the drawing:

Click the tool and mode. 

Click Drop Point Style on the Tool bar to select a resource from the Resource Selector.

Click to place the object, and click again to set the rotation. Drop points can be inserted in a wall, floor, slab, etc. or they can be stand-alone.

The parameters can be edited later from the Object Info palette. Optionally, create a style resource from the object (see Objectstijlen creëren). Once added to the drawing, connect the drop point to the cable path network and connect equipment to the drop point. Drop points can also be connected to a slab object.
