Modular wiring

[mark]

Hope someone might be able to help
A client im working for has said that they wish to go down the modular wiring route for all wiring. So in other words like a mass of extension leads that you just plug into a run.

For example: A hospital has many rooms that are the same and can be prefabed off site (walls, Ceiling void services etc) with this in mind a wall can be made off site and all the wiring, plumbing and all other services can be made into the wall, shipped to site, then plugged in when installed with no fafing around and wasting time.

My question is how would you (if you can) represent modular wiring in revit?
I think i may know the answer but i just wanted to through it out there to see if anyone has done this before and ifso how?

Thanks
Mark

Hello Mark, and welcome to the Discussion Groups!

I would think the best route would be to model the prefab wall as its own Family and add the appropriate Connectors to that. To go a little more detailed, in lieu of placing the Connectors in this Family, you could model each port/device as a Shared Family with a Connector, and then nest them into the prefab wall Family. This method would allow you to Tag and Schedule the individual nested components of the prefab wall. Another possibility may be to create an Assembly. The method you choose would depend on exact what information you need to report.
