    Default Revit MEP - Electrical 3 Phase Circuiting

    Hello All

    I have been asked to do some Panel Schedules and three phase circuits in revit

    On this job I need to tag the circuits a bit differently, ie show them in the three phase 1L2, 2L2….etc

    Has anyone done this before, if so, any tips tricks??

    It obviously is controlled by the DB settings and the actual tag, but any starters??

    At the moment the only way we show the systems is DB-01-12 etc...ie Distribution Board 01 Circuit 12...

    Thanks

    I take it this is for a UK or European project. It has been an issue for UK users even since AutoCAD MEP.

    In Autocad MEP you could hard code it in the API but I have yet to work this out in Revit!

    Its actually a project in Australia, but with english engineers!
    I dont think it can be done, I am just going to create tags to annotate the wiring....another revit electrical fudge!

    Think Autodesk forgot about Electrical and Hydraulics with Revit.

    Shoudl just be called REVIT M instead of REVIT MEP!!
