High voltage Conductor model in Revit 2020

how can i model high voltage substation Ais conductors in Revit 2020 with proper sag?

Hi, I am also after an answer. I would like to add electrical busbar (basically large aluminium tubes (diamater 120mm)) from one piece of equipment to another. The terminals can be on different levels so in elevation view, they go from the top of one piece of equipment to the bottom of another, anything between 1m and 10m span. It was easy to this in Creo or inventor as you attached points to the model and could connect the "tubes/Pipes" from point to point in x,y,z planes.

Unfortunately, as of today I don't think you can easily model substation equipment in Revit.  I think you can certainly export models from something like Inventor into models/families that will work with Revit, but I'm afraid that there are no IFC or BIM data structures for high voltage equipment today.  We are looking at this ourselves at my company, and although I think the possibilities are there, I don't think that Revit can do Substations very well today.  Visually, sure, I think you can get there, but I don't think that the data is there, nor the connectivity.

I'd be very happy to be wrong here, so don't worry about calling me out and telling me that I'm wrong.
