Hey Rob! When you are dealing with a site plan where the architect is using detail lines have you tried displaying their model as a "linked View"? That's how we get detail lines to show up for situations like this. I use a linked View in my floor plans as well. Makes things a little easier to get the Arch stuff to show up properly.
Hey Ryan! That's a clever idea - I've experimented with that approach but I end up with more showing on the site plan than I actually want - dimensions, keynotes, etc. So I've resorted to trying to educate our Architect friends to actually "model" the site plan - does not have to be curbs and roadways, but at least get some Model Lines on there that show up - their detail line site plans are like if they drew the building walls with detail lines - no bueno! Cheers
You can set annotation categories to custom (in visibility settings) and turn off dimensions and anything you don't want to see (similar to how you did it at 49:00. This obviously doesn't help if they draw everything using the same linetype. But I agree, if you can get them to model it in, that's definitely the best option!@@ElectricRob
Yes, I have as well. I've seen architects model receptacle and switch locations, light fixtures, and switching schemes, but not the circuiting or electrical load summaries, panel/loadcenter circuit layouts, etc. Do you know if they go to that level?
Hey there. I show in the video that you can download sample revit files from the Autodesk site - try this one help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2023/ENU/. Good luck!
Hey there! You bring up a great point - the best way to learn is to do! This project was specifically accomplished with publicly available architectural model and electrical families so that you can download and follow along. I show at the beginning of the video going to help.autodesk.com for the arch model., as well as the next episodes how to download the electrical families from the Autodesk cloud. Hope this helps, and good luck with your practicing!
@@ElectricRob I realized after I commented. Wow, this is great. Your approach is really smart and helpful for learning and practice. Thank you very much. I mean it.
Thanks for watching this EPISODE 1 video! Subscribe to my channel and explore the hundreds of hours of Electrical-Only Revit content!

Thanks for this Rob
Thanks for watching! And I'm afraid I do not have an answer to your question about free IFC files.
Awesome! ❤
Thanks! Just a start - much more to come soon!
Top ❤
Very informative 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Ms.Rob can you send me some revit project to work on it for training ??
I know several residential architects that model a good deal of the electrical system in Revit
Yes, I have as well. I've seen architects model receptacle and switch locations, light fixtures, and switching schemes, but not the circuiting or electrical load summaries, panel/loadcenter circuit layouts, etc. Do you know if they go to that level?
plz provide the revit model on which you are working

Please share the file for practicing. I really need it please

Where can i get the model ?
The architectural model is freely available from the Autodesk Website - I show in this video at 2:00 how to find it and download it. Good luck!
