Schedule All Panelboard Circuit Assignments in a Single Table

[Wish List System]

Summary: Produce a single Revit schedule of ALL panelboard circuit assignments, characteristics, branch breaker sizes and parameters in a "Table" format.

Description: It appears that REVIT panelboard schedules can contain entry data not capable of being extracted into a standard "schedule" format for export to a Microsfot Excel table for further analysis. In the electrical construction trades, we have to model each circuit/conduit exiting each panel. Typical panelboard schedules are great for balancing electrical loads but for construction trade modelers, it is not an efficient format for interpreting /transitioning each circuit into a "physical" model of the actual installation. Having full circuit information in a format that could be sorted in multiple ways based on electrical source, circuit number, load category, load & breaker size and conduit size would reduce modeling time significantly. In addition, for design engineers, having the ability to compile a single list of all circuit load categories and other characteristics would provide a unique ability to quickly analyze load categories in an infinite number of ways.

If I understand this wish correctly: you can create an electrical equipment and/or electrical circuit schedule (filter for wanted panels) that displays the same info as a panel board schedule. Any schedule can then be exported to Excel (either using native .txt=>excel method or 3rd party software)

That is essentially what I feel is needed. I have often needed to view similar types of loads scattered through out large facilities to determine their load impact on the distribution systems through the various seasons when the equipment would normally be energized. It would be nice to be able to sort of the similar type loads in a database arrangement. Excel text import from a Revit schedule would work fine.
