How to create an Electrical Plan in Revit Part 1

In How to create an Electrical Plan in Revit Part 1, I explain how I have created my own Revit Electrical Families to make the process MUCH easier than the standard way of creating electrical plans in Revit.

I have a downloadable package that includes :

  • 17 families (some with multiple types), everything you would typically need to do a standard residential plan.
  • The Electrical Symbols Legend for your paper space.
  • The Electrical Tag for tagging the families (Explained in the videos).
  • The Out Of The Box Surface Mount Panel that has been configured to accept 120/240 3 wire connection.

    Here is the link to the Electrical Families https://drakecanyon.com/product/electrical-families/
