    Default Wire Sizes

    I noticed that 15A and 20A circuits are unable to have the same AWG wire. Is there a work around because this is quite a pain?

    Thanks.

    You can force them to be what ever you want. Modify the settings.
    Minimum wire size is 12 right? Change size under ampacity 15A for #12. Those guys should knopw better than that.

    I would not be using the Revit wire size tool unless you are doing a project which is extremely, extremely simple. The NEC has numerous exceptions, rules and sizing methods which Revit simply doesn't account for. Not to mention up-sizing for voltage drop...
