Sounds like the floor box family you are using actually has 2 electrical connectors in it. If you edit the family, you can remove one.

Most welcome!

Glad you liked it!

Thanks!

Hey there and thanks! Glad you found it helpful. And hope all is well cross the pond!

You bet! I hope you got some value from it! Appreciate the feedback.

Glad it was helpful!

I'm so glad you found it helpful!

Appreciate the feedback! And yes, trying to fill in some gaps, as well as hit the mainstream topics.

Agree - I often just connect even the "remote driver" type LED's as 120V and let a note clarify, but wanted to present this more detailed option for those that do need it. As far as coordination views, some call them "working views", but they are just a separate view that you can set up differently than your actual "production view" or "sheet view" that you would actually place onto a finished sheet for publication. You can turn on other categories or even other linked models like HVAC or Plumbing or Structural to help with clash detection and coordination amongst the trades. Or even for your own electrical coordination - could have lighting, power, and even technology all visible at once. Nice to have this is a separate "view" so you don't forget to switch your "sheet view" back to the proper publish settings.

Hi Rob ! Hope everything is fine with you there. I have something for you. I want to know if we can change the colour of cable Trays Which we can see in the model when import to Naviswork. For example For CT (ITR) I want red colour For CT(power) I want Green colour Like which we can do for piping system in water supply Which can be visible in model not only in layout. Waiting for your reply.

Happy to hear that!

I'm so glad they are helping you out!

Very welcome - glad it was helpful!

Hey there Sam - great question! I have to admit I've not tried this scenario, but I sure will to see what's up. My gut feeling is that like any other 2-pole load, I would expect the loads would report on those 2 phases only, but maybe something crazy happens thru the transformer. Will see what I can find out and report back!

Correct, but a fairly common practice. Many times even with a timer type switch for the EF.

Glad it was helpful!

Hey Colton. Unfortunately, Revit wire sizing is not great, to be honest. I learned early on that I would still be sizing wiring outside of revit. Yes, you can add wire sizes, etc. to panel schedules, but note that revit tries to size wiring based upon its own voltage drop calcs, which have their own issues (lumps all loads of a circuit at the furthest load location, which of course way oversizes all of the wiring), sizes ground wires the same size as phase and neutral, etc. That being said, there are many other reasons to utilize revit - just wire sizing is not one of them. There are 3rd party add-ons that can help, if you want to go the paid route.

Glad it was helpful!

Hey there! Are you asking about physical dimensions for lighting fixtures, receptacle boxes, etc? Those "family" dimensions can be "associated" or "mapped" to family parameters that can be changed within your model if needed for a "parametric" type family. I have a number of videos on this channel that show detailed family editing.

@@ElectricRob yes I need this type video

Check out this video about making a non-hosted receptacle - shows adding labels to dimensions with parameters that you can adjust within your actual model ruclips.net/video/f7wNLylEBe0/видео.html

Hey there. A number of families in my videos are custom families that I created or edited. I have a whole playlist devoted to these!

Hey there Colton. Ah yes, sounds like a good video idea! I've hinted at a few small electrical changes (removing from circuits, adding to circuits, etc) but not a bigger change like you suggest. I'll definitely put that on my ideas list! Thanks for the feedback!

You bet!

Thanks for the feedback! So glad you enjoyed it.

Indeed - it's in the works soon! In the mean time, I have my previous full-project series here in one mega-video! ruclips.net/video/hVH2SoYuxY4/видео.html

I am waiting for it

@@ElectricRob Hey, I'm currently starting the first large project you just linked and you mentioned that there wouldn't be any mechanical/plumbing coordination in it since you'll be covering a lot of the basics in that build. Just curious, will you consider the MP coordination in this commercial project series? Thanks for the series, I appreciate it!

Hey there! Yes! Mechanical and Plumbing models are available for this project, so I will be showing coordination of those with the electrical model in this series!

Hey there Juan! In the video at around timestamp 4:05 I show how to duplicate the panel, but also scroll down to the Electrical Circuiting Heading / Distribution System to set it to match the "Panel Voltage" and "Panel Phase" that I set for that instance. Let me know if you can't find that. Cheers

Appreciate the feedback! Lots more to come!

Thanks!

Hey there! That template is not available directly, but I do show how it was created in this video ruclips.net/video/hq-psuAb084/видео.html - hope that helps!

Thanks and glad you enjoyed it! I have a new project series starting with episode 1 here! ruclips.net/video/QWpFmpQU-N8/видео.html

Thanks! Yeah, I much prefer when the architectural link is a revit model, but sometimes that just doesn't happen!

Thanks! I'm glad it helped!

Hey there! Appreciate that feedback! And yes, that actually is a goal of mine, to try to remember what it was like when I was a beginner or just learning these topics, and then attempting to simplify those topics down for folks to understand.

Thanks! Hope it is helpful for you!

Thanks for the feedback, and for watching all 10!

Hey there! You bring up a great point - the best way to learn is to do! This project was specifically accomplished with publicly available architectural model and electrical families so that you can download and follow along. I show at the beginning of the video going to help.autodesk.com for the arch model., as well as the next episodes how to download the electrical families from the Autodesk cloud. Hope this helps, and good luck with your practicing!

@@ElectricRob I realized after I commented. Wow, this is great. Your approach is really smart and helpful for learning and practice. Thank you very much. I mean it.

Hey there! You bring up a great point - the best way to learn is to do! This project was specifically accomplished with publicly available arch model and electrical families so that you can download and follow along. I show in the video where to download the sample architectural model, as well as downloading the electrical families from the Autodesk cloud. I show at the beginning of the video going to help.autodesk.com for the arch model. And at timestamp 1:26:50 I show the "Load Autodesk Family from Cloud" tool for the electrical families. Hope this helps, and good luck with your practicing!
