Within our MEP office, it seems one of the primary challenges we've had with the integration of Revit is the lack of electrical functionality when it comes to project phasing. Various components of this have been suggested over the years, but it seems like the ask could be simplified as follows:
- Provide project phasing for electrical circuitry.
- In the real world, circuits existing in a place and time like all other model geometry, so it doesn't make sense that they are handled like annotations/analytical calculations that exist only in the scope of work.
- Allow for use of phase filters on electrical panel schedules.
- This allows for a designer to display and existing and revised condition. This is typically displayed on every project that involves modifying the loads associated with a panel.
I am aware that there are work arounds using Excel or Drafting views, but this is definitely a hang up every time we train a new electrical drafter/designer.
