Electrical panel schedules for split load board

[ncharlwood389454]

Ok, I've accepted that revit doesn't let me circuit L1, L2, L3 as I would like but if I can get the following situation to work I have a win.

we have mainly dual metered distribution boards on our projects, which are generally split 8 and 12 T/P, which gives me 24 outgoing ways in section 1 (lighting) and 36 outgoing ways in section 2 (power).

If if I tell revit I have 60 ways on the board it schedules 1-60.... No good.

Can I reconfigure the schedule to show 2 sections, 1-24 (section 1) and 1-36 (section 2)with possibly a prefix L for section 1 and P for section 2?????

This keep the consultants at bay, not confuse our installers and allows me to show correct tagged circuits......a man can dream!

I'm pretty sure the only way to do this is to show two separate panels on top of each other.

i agree with Ben, show them stacked on a wall, each will schedule separately. you can subfeed Receptacle panel out of the Lighting panel if you want the total combined loads listed (will take up a 3-pole breaker though).
i don't think the prefix on a circuit number will work, but if you can make a circuit tag that should look like what you want by editing your circuit number tag, add a right justified panel name label (copy the circuit number label and changed its target parameter). this only works if you can name your panels L and P, if you have more than one of each, you could add a shared text parameter to your panel family that would let you fill in L or P or anything else and point the label in your tag to that parameter.

Wouldn't it be easier to just circuit both panels to the same circuit in the DP to combine the loads?

[mhartmann]

yes, that would be the better way to do it

[ncharlwood389454]

Good call with stacking the boards. This works well, but how do I combine 2 supplies to one circuit? This would make the circuit chart correct but I cannot see how to feed 2 pieces of equipment from one circuit?

[mhartmann]

just like you would add receptacles to a circuit, hit the panel that's connected to the distribution board or whatever they're being fed by, click edit circuit, and add the other panel to that same circuit
