Combining Electrical Equipment and Electrical Fixture into a Furniture Family.

I'm working in a huge interior project where we want to create a Furniture Table with all the Symbols of the Electrical Equipment on it. 

 

I know I can nest the Electrical on the Furniture but my Electrical Family it has the Model Itself and also an Annotation Symbol to Shown the proper way the Electrical Symbols are expressed in a Floor Plan.  

 

The problem is that when I nest the Electrical Family in the Furniture I can't see the Annotation that comes with the Electrical Fixture.

 

Anyone had to try this nested approach. 

 

Thanks.

I would not use that approach. The issue probably lies in the electrical family and you will get a similar result even if you nest the family. I'm guessing that you used a family that is made to be hosted to a vertical face and the annotation symbol is oriented to show in plan view. You should use a family that is designed for horizontal surface mounting.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

In Plan View?  Still, I don't think it will matter. It's not going to carry over to the Project.

You would have to load the annotation symbol families in the furniture family and place them to match the electrical fixtures as shown below.  It may or may not by any more efficient than place the electrical fixtures directly in the project and group or assemble them together with the furniture piece.

What about when you have to show the ELEC anno on top of the Family, because right now all your anno are out of the furniture, because I have a problem now and is that the family has a Masking which is hidding my Anno.

Doesn't seem to be an issue here.

are you nesting the annotation directly into the Family, or nesting the component that has the annotation?

see if you can host the masking region to a lower work plane (uncheck draw in foreground) as per this link

I have the annotation family in the Electrical Fixture, and the Electrical Fixture in the Furniture. 

 

How do you have your sample ?

It's not my family that's picture above; it's Toan's. I was wondering the same thing.  I wasn't aware that you could now carry over the nested family's annotation to the project.  That's a new one to me.

As I daid, they are hosted directly in the furniture family.
