    I think I started and got side tracked and was going to make a list to post. Too many balls in the air at one time I guess. I'll put together a list for AU.

    Scott Brisk created a list yesterday. Some of the family names have been re-worded though.

I understand the other trades needed it more and I am all for that and I know the hvac and plumbing guys at my office are very happy to get the boost in content its a big step from what they had, I just hope next time electrical and technology get a little more attention. But again thank you.
    The problem is that electrical families are based upon logical connections (at the moment) and mehcniacal/plumbing families are based upon physical ones.

    I am an electrical engineer who has made my firms standard libraries for all three disciplines and I can honestly say that the complexity of electrical family content pales in comparison to that which you need to do for mechanical counterparts. I started out learning Revit in electrical families and I picked up on it really quick, but at the moment I am still dumbfounded by many aspects of duct fittings and mechanical connections.

    To make a telecom or electrical family it usually is just a matter of making a few extrusions and popping on a connector with some easy linked parameters. For a mechanical family it is usually a trip back to my college CS and math books. (look at a duct fitting family if you don't believe me ) So AutoDesk focusing on mechanical content in my opinion makes more sense as it is a lot harder to make it yourself.

    However this doesn't mean electrical is all fine and dandy. Electrical in MEP has its benefits in analysis and scheduling, and right now the limitations in part types really hinders that. It is great that we have an MCC family now, but that is just one section with no information and characteristics of a switchboard - not an MCC.

    Part types gooooo

    The defalt location doesn't seem to work on Vista.

    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\RME 2008\Imperial

    Where is the folder for Vista?

    I did a search, is it here;
    C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RME 2008\Imperial Library

    Matthew,

    I got the same message on first attempt last week. I had previously applied WU#2, so I removed the read-only property of the problem family in the error message and the .exe worked fine. Relocating the folder or deleting the old one will work as well. But if the original folder structure is removed the .exe will only show as the attached image, missing the architectural supported folders that the WU's provide.
