Design the Electrical Systems

Topics in this section
  • Electrical Analysis for Preliminary Design
    Electrical engineers can use the tools in this section to analyze and plan the connected load in a Revit model before placing physical electrical families.
  • Working with Electrical Components
    The ribbon provides tools you use to add electrical components and wiring, check the circuits in a project, and create panel schedules.
  • Creating Circuits
    Circuits connect similar electrical components to form an electrical system.
  • Using the Circuit Editor
    You use tools on the Circuit Editor toolbar to add and remove components, view circuit properties, select a panel, and view panel properties for a circuit selected in the drawing area.
  • Editing a Circuit Path
    You can edit the path for an electrical circuit to select the path mode, enter a new offset for the path, or modify the route that the path follows.
  • Creating a Switch System
    You can assign lighting fixtures to specific switches in a project. The switch system is independent of lighting circuits and wiring.
  • Editing Switch Systems
    You can edit switch systems to add or remove lighting fixtures, select or disconnect a switch, and view system and switch properties.
  • Electrical Sizing and Calculation Methods
    Revit automatically calculates sizing information and selects wire sizes for the systems created in a project.
