hy Rich , i have imported the CAD File in revit 2020 and now placing the power outlets , standard receptacle has been placed but DB Panel is not being placed i mean it is not finding the Host and can't be placed and even don't show in Panel icon , why is it so , plz reply , thanks.
hi, how do you update the VA in the panel schedule of a particular circuit? for example i put a junction box for an exhaust hood, but when i put a circuit on it, the load is 500VA. if i want to change it to 1000VA, how to do it? thanks,
hi mate, updating the VA (Volt-Ampere) value in the panel schedule for a particular circuit involves adjusting the load on the associated devices or components. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. **Open the Electrical Panel Schedule:** - Navigate to the view where you have the electrical panel schedule. - This is typically a sheet view that displays the panel schedule for the specific panel you are working on. 2. **Identify the Circuit:** - Locate the circuit for which you want to update the VA value. 3. **Find the Associated Device:** - Identify the device in your model that corresponds to the circuit in question. In your case, it's the junction box for the exhaust hood. 4. **Adjust the Load:** - Select the junction box or the associated device. - Open the properties for the device (you can use the "Edit Type" or "Edit Instance" option). - Look for a parameter related to the electrical load, such as "Load Classification" or "Power" in the properties dialog. 5. **Update the VA Value:** - Change the VA value to the desired amount (e.g., from 500VA to 1000VA). 6. **Review the Panel Schedule:** - Go back to the panel schedule and check if the updated VA value is reflected. 7. **Regenerate or Update the Schedule:** - If the schedule doesn't update automatically, you may need to regenerate or update the panel schedule. Right-click on the schedule and look for options like "Regenerate" or "Update." 8. **Check for Warnings:** - After making changes, always check for any warnings or errors in the model. Revit may provide notifications if there are issues with the electrical distribution system.
Hello, how do i find this particular training file template? I'd like to learn revit for an upcoming interview but I don't know where to get sample files. Can you link me where to get the template file to complete this exercise? Thanks
Dear Rich please can you provide info to change the panel template from two column to one column and to set the one column as default. Thanks and regards.
pede naman try mo ito: Create Electrical Circuits: Define circuits for your electrical system. In a single-phase system, you would typically have one hot wire and one neutral wire for each circuit. Add Electrical Fixtures: Place electrical fixtures such as lights, power outlets, switches, and other devices in your model. Connect them to the appropriate circuits. Specify Loads: Provide load information for each device. This helps in determining the total load on each circuit and can be useful for electrical load calculations. Generate Electrical Panels: Designate electrical panels where your circuits will be connected. Revit allows you to create panel schedules that provide information about circuit loads, devices, and other details. Generate Electrical Plans: Create electrical plans that show the layout of your electrical fixtures, devices, circuits, and panels. Revit can automatically generate these plans based on your model. Document Wiring and Connections: You can use Revit to document the wiring connections between devices and panels, making it easier for electricians to understand how the system is laid out.

DB panels are hosted family, make sure you have walls to place it.
Ang galing talaga, sir Rich! 👏👏👏♥️
thanks boss Karl!!!

hello, here is the link to avail it: learningwithrich.wordpress.com/support-me/
Look for exercise files for MEP.
Very useful thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Hi Rich, I am looking for a complete electrical design (with calculation) in Revit for a high rise or hospital project. Have you got anything?
hello Raman, sorry I don't have.
Dear Rich please can you provide info to change the panel template from two column to one column and to set the one column as default. Thanks and regards.
Sure I will check on this one. thanks for the input, J!
Sir pede ba gumawa ng single phase system s revit?

Hi sure, can you share file revit for learn?
hello sir, please check the video description to avail ALL the files. =)
hi
hello mam.
