Join Eric Wing for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating and labeling a wiring plan, part of Revit 2017 Essential Training: MEP (Metric).
- [Voiceover] Let's create some wiring.…There's a couple ways we can do it.…We can do it automatically and we can do it manually.…But there's a couple things about…wires that I wanna show ya.…What I'd like to do is I'm gonna go down now to my power,…level one floor plan.…I'm gonna zoom into here...…And hey! Guess what? We have lighting fixtures.…I don't want to see those.…So I'mm type V G.…I'm gonna scroll down until we find lighting fixtures.…I'm gonna un-check that.…I don't want to see any lighting devices either,…so I'm gonna un-check that.…
I'm gonna click apply.…I'm gonna click okay.…Now what I'm gonna do is,…I'm gonna hover over this receptacle.…I'm gonna hit my tab key and now I'm gonna select it.…Now what we're gonna see is,…we get these two icons right here.…We can either do a chamfered wire…or we can do an arc styled wire.…I'm gonna click on the arc style.…Now I'm gonna hit escape a couple times.…And it's gonna wire it in.…And it's gonna home run my last one for me.…Now once I get this in, I can kinda bend this up…
