Conduit Fill Display

Commands

Prerequisites

• A FireCAD project must be open
• Segments must have conduit types assigned (see Setting Conduit Type)

Overview

Conduit fill shows the percentage of conduit capacity used by the wires running through each segment. This helps verify compliance with NEC conduit fill requirements.

Showing Conduit Fill

1. Type ATSHOW_CONDUIT_FILL in the AutoCAD command line
2. Select one or more wirepath segments
3. Press Enter
4. Conduit fill percentages appear on the selected segments

Hiding Conduit Fill

1. Type ATHIDE_CONDUIT_FILL in the AutoCAD command line
2. Select one or more wirepath segments
3. Press Enter
4. Conduit fill percentages are removed

Tips

• Segments without a conduit type assignment won't show fill percentages
• Use ATSELECT_SEGMENTS_OVER_40_PERCENT to quickly find segments exceeding 40% fill
