In Part 2 of How to create an Electrical Plan in Revit, we recap how to create a filter to help us distinguish between the families that we have connected to the panel, and those that we haven’t. I also explain how to set up your Distribution System and Voltage Definitions, as well as determining where you need GFCI’s, Smoke Detectors, Carbon Monoxide Detectors, and which appliances need to be on a Dedicated Circuit. See below for a list of those appliances. Lastly, I show how to create a Panel Schedule.
