Defining feature codes
• Before generating a terrain file, one should decide on broad

categories of terrain or obstacle points which have unique
ENGINEERING DEP
ENGINEERING DEP
requirements.
• These requirements include minimum code clearances to be

met above or to the side of the points as well as symbols to be
used to display these points on the screen or on the final
drawings.
• Code clearances depend on the voltage of particular

conductors. A separate feature code must be created for each
category of terrain or obstacle points.
• These feature codes must be defined in the project feature

code file before they can be used in a terrain file. Feature code
files use the “.fea” extension.

• The "structure object" contains not only the information
necessary to locate in 3D, all the cable attachment points, but
also some pointers to the algorithms or programs which will
check the structure strength at its particular location.
• PLS-CADD currently supports four methods of checking

structure strength.
• The "structure object" is described in a structure file.
• The structure file therefore concentrates in a single location all

the geometric and mechanical design information that pertains
