Saddle Bends
eVolve Electrical contains and utilizes the most powerful, feature packed bend families in the industry. These families have been developed with the user in mind and allow for total customization. Becoming familiar with these commonly used parts and their functions can open up a world of options that can't be found elsewhere.
Constraints: 3-Point Saddle
Convert- Activates the bend family parameters
Saddle Height- Height of saddle to clear obstacles
Use Custom Angle- Check to override the default bend angle
Angle Override- Manually enter a custom bend angle
Use Nose Minimum Length-The minimum possible nose length, based on bender settings.
Set Nose Length- Manually sets the length of the nose. (Use_Nose_Minimum_Length must be unchecked)
Tail Remnant Length- Uses the balance of the remaining conduit for the tail end
Set Overall Bend Length- Check to activate the Overall Bend Length parameter
Overall Bend Length- Set the length of the bend
Rolling Saddle- Check to activate the Roll Parameters
Roll Left/Right- Check to Roll the bend to the left or right
Roll Distance- Enter the distance to roll the bend. (Saddle Height will be maintained)
Add Coupling 1 & 2- Check to add a coupling to End 1 (green end) and/or End 2.
Constraints: 4-Point Saddle, Standard & 2-Piece
Convert- Activates the bend family parameters
2_Piece_Bend(in 2-piece fam only)- convert the family to a 2-piece saddle.
Saddle Height- Height of saddle to clear obstacles
Saddle Length- Length of the top flat portion of the saddle.
Use Custom Angle- Check to override the default bend angle
Angle Override- Manually enter a custom bend angle
Use Nose Minimum Length-The minimum possible nose length, based on bender settings.
Set Nose Length- Manually sets the length of the nose. (Use_Nose_Minimum_Length must be unchecked)
Tail Remnant Length- Uses the balance of the remaining conduit for the tail end
Set Overall Bend Length- Check to activate the Overall Bend Length parameter
Overall Bend Length- Set the length of the bend
Rolling Saddle- Check to activate the Roll Parameters
Roll Left/Right- Check to Roll the bend to the left or right
Roll Distance- Enter the distance to roll the bend. (Saddle Height will be maintained)
Add Coupling 1 & 2- Check to add a coupling to End 1 (green end) and/or End 2.
Type Properties: Saddle Bends
Use overall Length in BOM-eVolve length gets reported but can use overall length instead of max conduit length for only the length of the bend
Max Conduit Length- Set max conduit stick length. Default is standard 10' sections.
BOMs & Legends
In the eVolve Template, each bend family has its own Legend and BOM for fast and easy access to information.
