Cable Tray fitting using MEPFitting.ByPointsAndCurve

Thank you!

Hi @Kulkul

Thank you for your response, however, it does’nt seem to be the problem. More points only results in more fittings along the same MEP curve.

Another issue was the insertion point, where i had to adjust it according to the Reference Level.
