Dual Switching

I'm curious with Revit MEP 2009 if there is a way to show dual switching for
a 2 x 4 light fixture. I have bi-level lamping, and I'm not sure how Revit
would handle wiring to two switches?

Any thoughts.

I'm not running the latest service pack, but it basiclly doesn't.
When you add a second switch to the circuit, the first one falls off.
I wonder if it can be done with a smarter switch family. The one we use for a dual switch is just a single switch with a different symbol.

Is the dual switching on the same circuit? Inner Row/ Outer Row switching (2 ballasts), or BiLevel (one Quick Step Ballast). If it is a quick step ballast, I would not change anything except for the switch symbol.


If they are on the same circuit (2 ballasts), the load would still remain the same. If different circuits (still 2 ballasts), then you would need to modify the fixture family (add another connector) to account for the different loads on each circuit.
