Summary: Revit already has all of the information required, it just isn't making the intelligent link. If you connect a piece of conduit to a device, add the circuits (or Wire Data) to that conduit. Objects such as Junction Boxes should also be able to inherit this data. Because Junction Boxes can have multiple conduits containing different wire information, consider using the shortest path to determine whether or not the circuit is part of the conduit or not.

If you connect a piece of conduit to a device, add the circuits (or Wire Data) to that conduit. Objects such as Junction Boxes should also be able to inherit this data. Because Junction Boxes can have multiple conduits containing different wire information, consider using the shortest path to determine whether or not the circuit is part of the conduit or not.

Users can then utilize the conduit for more than just 3D coordination - it can be used to intelligently tag conduit with proper wire information and create schedules.
