Modifying Hangers
You can modify a hanger using several methods:
■
Location grips: To move a hanger, select it, click the Location grip, and specify a different location on
the building systems object.
■
Lengthen grips: To lengthen the channel or drop rods, select the hanger, right-click, and click Edit
Parameters. Then select a Lengthen grip, and drag it to a new location.
■
Commands on the context menu: Use the commands on the Support Orientation submenu to rotate
the hanger around the building systems object, or to change the direction of support (Support From
Above or Support From Below).
■
AutoCAD commands: Use these commands to modify a hanger in other ways. You can access several
AutoCAD commands, such as COPY, from the Basic Modify Tools submenu on the context menu.
Rotating Cable Trays
NOTE
To rotate cable tray runs in model views, make sure the current display configuration uses a Cable Tray
Model display representation for both cable trays and fittings. Only these display representations show an open
side to cable trays and fittings, as is necessary to visually represent their rotation. If you are using the U.K. profile
or the Global profile, the drawing templates are configured to use these display representations by default. If you
are using another profile, you must configure the current drawing to do so, and you might also need to run
LOADMETRICCMDS beforehand to make the display representations available in Display Manager. For information
on loading the module, see
on page 797.
