Summary: Revit needs a multi-circuit tool, or the ability to array circuits and tag them correctly.
Description: Example: We do a lot of theatrical lighting projects. A raceway for theatrical dimming can be 1' to 80' in length, and have 1 to 100 circuits. We need a way to control the number of circuits in the family, and connect them to a panelboard (dimmer rack) in an efficient manner. We then need the ability to tag the family and have the circuit information show up correctly. This might involve the ability to array circuits in a family and have Revit read them as individual circuits (rather than grouping them together) and/or having a visibility control for each electrical connector instance and/or creating a multi-circuit electrical connector. To compound the issue, in theatrical lighting outlet boxes we typically have multiple circuit capacities, voltages, number of poles, and destinations. So for a simple floor outlet box we might have 2 20A 120v circuits going to a dimmer panel, 1 208V single phase circuit going to a relay panel, and a 20A 208V 3-phase circuit fed from a panelboard.
