    <description>&lt;P&gt;In most modern buildings, the electrical planning includes a lightning protection and earthing system.

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The family part of this issue is simple for me. What we need here is that the grounding system is defined in Revit. In this case, coordination with other systems will be easy. Otherwise, we have to produce both dwg and revit combination sheets.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-left" image-alt="Toprakalamada son durum.JPG" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/866691iE8A15A84E97D3400/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="Toprakalamada son durum.JPG" alt="Toprakalamada son durum.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello, is there any updates in Revit regarding this?&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;Recently started with revit and we have a project were we need to apply earthing rods, earting wires to every rod etc.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;But i do not find any families, objects that is made for this use.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Want to "bump" this idea. Currently we have been using the category "Nurse Call Devices" for Lighting and Grounding "L&amp;amp;G" elements. This is so that we can turn them on/off under the Model Categories as most of the power stuff uses the Electrical Fixtures Model Category. L&amp;amp;G devices since they are typically shown on their own drawing. The main need here is a Model Category for Lightning and Grounding (or "Lightning Protection and Earthing Systems").&lt;/P&gt;</description>
