Segregation management
Segregation is used to define the authorization or banning of wire or
cable paths in a specific place in your installation. For example, you
can ban a power wire from running through a duct.
Segregation applies to both wires and cables.

When the segregation command is launched, the left dockable panel changes
to display the various parameters of the command.
Select wire style or cable
Select either the Wire style
or the Cable option.
Note that the name of the button changes depending on the chosen option.
Select cable duct or routing path to
exclude / include while routing: Two selection zones are available
to select the assemblies containing a routing path or routing axes to
be excluded or included in the routing phase for the cable or wire selected
previously.
Segregation of wires
1. Select the
Wire style option.
The button name becomes Select wire
style. This button gives access to the wire style selector. Select
a wire type.
2. Select the
routing axes or the assemblies containing routing paths to be authorized
or forbidden for the routing of this type of wire in the appropriate box
(include or exclude).
You can add several segregation modes together.
Segregation of cables
This works the same way as segregation of wires. The button lets you
select a cable from the list of cables for the electrical project. Inclusion
and exclusion operate in the same way as for wires.
Segregation management
The Segregation management groups
all the segregations you have created for the electrical project.
