This plugin enhances your ability to design 3D cable tray systems within your existing projects, enabling you to simulate designs, assess route optimizations, generate precise isometric drawings, and provide immersive virtual tours to clients. It supports four tray categories: Ladder, Solid, Ventilated, and Wire Mesh (Wire Basket), each equipped with 13 essential components. These components are fully parametric, allowing real-time adjustments to their geometry to perfectly align with your project requirements.
In the dynamic industrial landscape, the efficient management of power, control, and communication cables is a critical aspect of infrastructure development and maintenance. Cable trays are the backbone for organizing and routing these vital systems, ensuring their accessibility, safety, and long-term reliability.
Often, a need arises to simulate the cable tray route in a 3D model space before its installation in the field. This process allows industry professionals to visualize the proposed layout, verify potential system clashes or overlaps, and produce detailed isometric drawings for the fabrication and installation stages.
Parametric Cable Tray Plugin is a comprehensive solution designed to elevate the cable tray planning and visualization process. Developed by industry experts with a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by engineering and construction teams, this application offers a powerful and user-friendly platform for optimizing cable tray routing and management.
With this plugin, users can seamlessly create 3D models of their cable tray layouts, leveraging a comprehensive library of components and accessories to ensure accurate representation, while the isometric drawing generation feature streamlines the documentation and fabrication processes.
Version 1.6.1
Reducer ‘Depth’ parameters had missing margins restriction of 25~150mm (1” to 6”) which are now set
Support for AutoCAD Plant 3D 2026 is now included
Version 1.6.0
Users now have the option to choose the Rung Spacing on the Straight Section. The standards allow a rung space from 225mm to 450mm (i.e. 9” to 18”) and the same has been provisioned in this upgrade
Users can also choose the width of the Side Rail Edge. To maintain harmony and being within realistic margins, the limit for this change has been set from 3.125mm to 12.5mm (i.e. 1/8” to 1/2″)
Reference dimensional image with each component now has the allowed margin of the associated parameters. Anything beyond that will not work and the component will either restore to default parameter or the nearest margin (i.e. if you go beyond the higher margin it will convert to higher limit and vice versa)
A minor problem with ventilated tray (and the ladder tray with side ventilation turned ON) not working when the tray Depth was set to 50mm (2”) or less. This issue has now been resolved.
Version 1.5.0
Users now have the option to select how many holes are in the perforated cable trays. Simply type-in the required number in the parameter table and it will happen
Version 1.4.0
User has the option to choose fewer number of holes in ventilated trays and side railings of both ventilated and ladder trays, so that the graphics load is minimum while working on the project
In ladder tray when size is 600mm (24”) or greater, a central support rung was automatically placed. Now users have the option to either switch is ON or OFF based on their project needs
Version 1.3.0
Plugin is now compatible to work with AutoCAD Plant 3D 2025 as well
New width size is included in the specification sheet. User can now choose 50mm (2″) for the tray width
Depth range has now been extended. User can now choose depth in the range of 25mm to 150mm
(1″ ~ 6″)
Horizontal Tee and Cross now have the possibility of varying width on both Axis. Width on the same different axis can now be different. User can now utilize this feature to branch out a smaller tray of their chosen size.
Side ventilation profile on the vertical TEE and CROSS has been updated
Issues/Problem with previous version are now resolved;
WYE component in the Imperial system was left out which has now been included
Some dimension display on the component were pointing to wrong images. This now has been corrected
Version 1.2.0
Cable Tray Fittings now have the option of extendable arms both of equal and unequal lengths
Version 1.1.0
Include cable tray in Ladder style, Solid bottom, Perforated Bottom and Wire basket.
Tray profile can be altered as Flange-In OR Flange-Out in C-Profile OR the I-BEAM shape.
Covered and non-covered versions of each part are provided.
System of unit is both Metric and Imperial.
Possibility to adjust the bending radius of the curved fittings like elbows, tees, etc.
Possibility to choose different Rung Profiles for the Ladder Tray
Possibility to choose different perforation profiles for Perforated Tray
A new Component class is added i.e., Horizontal WYE fitting
Version 1.0.0:
First release of the plugin
Include cable trays in Ladder style, Solid bottom, and Perforated Bottom
Geometry Shape is Flange-In with C-Profile
Covered and non-covered versions of each part are provided.
System of unit is Metric
This product is compatible with versions 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026
Effortlessly design complex cable tray routing in a user-friendly environment
Smooth, self-guided installation and uninstallation
Automatic detection of your Autodesk AutoCAD Plant 3D version and tailored installation options
Python-based parametric tray components that can be easily customized in the model space to fit your project requirements
Components meticulously engineered to industry standards (IEEE-422, IEEE-628, IEC-61537, NEMA-V1)
Versatile tray component customization to suit your project needs
One-click isometric generation
Choice from four leading industrial tray categories (i.e. Ladder, Ventilated, Solid, and Wire Basket) with an additional choice of cover placement
Support for both Imperial and Metric unit systems
Rich components catalog populated with the most commonly used industrial tray parts designed from 16 basic component types
Tailored specification sheets in four tray categories with frequently used tray dimensions with the flexibility to modify as per project needs
Comprehensive instructions and guidelines for user
