AutoCad MEP Elect Panel Schedules. Automtic totaling of loads & lighting loads

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know if the panel schedule templates on AutoCAD MEP do automatic adding of loads and have a feature to increase the load of lighting loads (long continuous loads) as per the requirement in the NEC Code.  Where can I find a training video on this showing this feature and automatic totaling of loads on the electrical panel schedules.

For the loads, you would need to edit the load category definitions, accessed through the style manager. These can be predefined with your template, and are assigned to the device when placed (or stored with the electrical device style).

the load category is set by editing the device style:

As far as the total loads, AutoCAD MEP automatically tracks Apparent Load by Phase, based on single phase/three phase.Do you have an example of what you're looking for I can take a look at?
