Creating ring main circuits

Does anyone know if there is a way to create a ring circuit in revit? I can't seem to find out how to do it.

 

Please don't tell me it's radials only, 32A ring circuits are very common in the UK.

 

I would like a 32A ring with a 2.5mm twin & earth (6242b), probably the most common circuit going in LV design. When 32A is entered in the circuit schedule it bumps the cable up to 6mm.

 

Any help with this much appreciated.

Being a software that was developed by a company in the United States, it is designed to adhere to US standards, for the most part. I've heard numerous complaints and comments that the most basic methods and techniques of other countries (namely the UK) is completely missing from Revit. This is such an instance of this, I believe. If it is of any consolation, most US electrical engineers I know do not trust Revit's current calculation abilities at all, and still perform these manually.

 

I would suggest using the link below whenever you run into such an issue. This link is frequently provided by Autodesk personnel in the forums. When submitting feedback, try to be as details as you can. Example (if possible) can help immensely.

thank you for the reply.

 

this was my fear.

 

do you know of any work arounds for the problem? If i create new look up tables cani make it think it is a ring?

 

As i am still on a massive learning curve for Revit im still not sure how it uses the information from the tables and formulas used.

 

As it stands this issues actually makes the package not fit for purpose in the uk.

I don't know if anything can be done to help your situation, here. I would also suggest opening a Support Case for this issue, as it may be beneficial to communicate directly with them. A Support Case can be created on Autodesk's main website, under the Subscription Center.
