What is the best way to circuit between floors. We have some situations where lights or devices will span floors and still be on same circuit. Since the circuiting doesn't happen within the same view, I was unsure how to get them connected or span those floors.
Thanks

Anytime I have to do that, I open the Views for both floors. Then, in the View that has already been circuited, select an element of the desired circuit and go to Electrical Circuits contextual tab » Edit Circuits. Hit CTRL+TAB to navigate to the other floor and select the fixtures to add to that circuit. This method has proven simple enough for us.
In our project we got 4 panels per floor. The method you mentioned could take a while if we were circuiting items one by one. Is there a method where we can replicate all the items on each floor while have the panel schedule reflect the circuiting?
Hello,
You will have to add the electric circuits in the set of elements to be copied.

Depending on how similar the floors are, you may have luck performing all the circuiting on one floor then copying all the elements (panelboards, receptacles, lights, et cetera) to the next floor. When I'm working on a core and shell project, while I usually have a typical floor sheet, I will do all the element layouts on a single floor then just copy them up/down a level.
Another way is to create throw-away elevations if the repetitive area is small enough.
Ah okay. I haven't tried doing that before, and I don't know if that is possible in Revit to just "increment" already created systems...
