Thanks for providing practical design advice for Revit Electric, especially from a design standpoint that takes into account NEC / Code.
99% of Revit electrical videos on RUclips is essentially an architect showing you how to place receptacles and lights with model lines to switch them. They seem to think that because they can place devices in the model that they can design electric but their videos lack substance and are not useful for actual design of construction documents.
New subscriber and love the videos!
@nickstewart165 Thank you so much for the feedback! And I'm glad you are noticing my efforts - that is exactly why I started this channel. We could not find the more technical instruction we were looking for. Even behind some paywalls, we found a few lessons that were more in depth, but I wanted to produce a full set of videos to help our crew. They are not true NEC classes - plenty of those out there - but I wanted to at least show how certain code issues and calcs can actually be performed within Revit. Again, appreciate the response! Cheers
I model a lot of underground duct banks. I wish Revit would let you use arcs for conduit. Trenching is not always straight :)
Hey Clifton! You bring up a great point - from a "diagrammatic" point of view, the straight conduit works, but from an actual "detailer" point of view, trying to model real-life conditions, you are right, there needs to be other tools. I've seen a few 3rd party conduit modeling add-ons to help with this, maybe for "90 degree with a kick" or "saddle" or "offset" type modeling, but a large-radius curve option or even a "spline" type would definitely be useful.
@@ElectricRob A lot of what I do is to make the engineered drawings work in the real world to simplify everything for the foreman on the job. If I can make everything fit then so can they. Although getting good switchgear opening information ahead of ordering can be challenging.
@@cliftonmann8713 I totally get that - I work with contractors who have detailers on staff that do exactly what you mention - they take my "diagrammatic" engineered drawings and fit them up in detail for their installers. And I hear you on the switchboard issue - getting that "shop drawing" level of detail from suppliers can be challenging, especially early on. And this highlights the wide range of tasks that our electrical construction industry has to deal with!
Thank you very match .... your information and explan is very useful.👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
will be great if you can have both conduits and cable trays used so we can know the subtle differences and best practice
Agree - I will have to add a cable tray with conduit video sometime! Thanks for the suggestion!
Why does the outlets range and triplex symbol does not show the power symbol whenever you click or select them?
Sounds to me like you are using the "architectural" versions of those receptacles - they are symbols only and do not contain the electrical connector that we need. Look for receptacles under the "MEP" folder if you are downloading from the Autodesk cloud. Glad you brought this up - I will be posting a video soon covering all of the "out-of-the-box" electrical elements included with revit, and some of their pitfalls. Cheers!
