Join Eric Wing for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating a lighting circuit, part of Revit 2017 Essential Training: MEP (Imperial).
- Similar to a power circuit,…a lighting circuit allows us to group the satellites…and assign those lights to a panel.…Let's get going with adding lights and our switch…to a circuit.…To get started, in the project browser let's make sure under…Electrical, Lighting, Ceiling Plans, Level 1.…Let's zoom in on our corner office.…Go ahead and select this light.…Notice we can create two different types of systems.…Let's stick with Power.…The next step is to click the Edit Circuit button…on the System Tools panel.…
For the Panel, let's grab PP-1.…With the Add the Circuit current, hold down your Ctrl key,…select your second light and your switch.…Once those are selected, under Electrical Loads,…click into the Load Name box.…Make sure you hover over all the text that's in here.…Let's call the load name OFFICE (with caps)…101 Lighting.…Click Apply.…Click the green check mark for Finish Editing Circuit.…
In our project browser, let's scroll down to Panel Schedules…and double-click on PP-1.…Notice that we have OFFICE 101 and OFFICE 101 LIGHTING.…
