GET ELECTRICAL DATA IN ARCHITECTURAL TEMPLATE

Hey,
 
I have a file in the architectural template with the café design of a shipping container. Since it's a cafe in a shipping container model, most of the design part is placing the electrical & plumbing in a single room space. There are no wall partitions and no furniture. I place all of these in the architectural template and design my sheets.
 
When I link it to the Systems template, the linked file does not read any of my electrical or plumbing stuff. Do you suggest any easy way on how to make it better? Because I am not able to place a control panel in the architectural template, so I place them in the Systems template for Revit to automatically develop my panel schedule. 
 
When I try to do my basic design in the Systems template, it is not easy for me to place a structural framing and my other doors & windows.
 
I would either like to have my architectural plan read my electrical equipments in the Systems Template or place a control panel in the Architectural Template.
 
Any guidance to this would make my work a lot easier.  
 
Thanks,
Sudha

Not sure I'm following.  Are you saying Schedules don't pick up Link elements?  If so, check "Include Elements in Link" on the Filter Tab of the Schedule.  Also, pay attention to Phasing if used. Map the Link Phases correctly and remember that Schedules have Phase and Phase Filter just like Views.

 

...or am I totally missing your point?  It happens sometimes. :zwinkerndes_Gesicht:

I get what you are up against now, although I'm not altogether clear why you are linking between disciplines - especially for a "Shipping Container".  I guess you have your reasons.  Seems to me the simplest solution would be keep everything together in one project. But, whatever.  Sorry for the misunderstanding initially.  It was a speed-reading accident.  :zwinkerndes_Gesicht:

Dear @sudha9CESZ ,

There is an important idea while working on Revit.

If you want the proper process, then it is better to make a file for the architecture and for the Mechanical and the Electrical.

Sometimes when we have a small project we can have one for MEP instead of 2.

However, I don't recommend having a unified Revit file for ARC and MEP.

In your case if you don't see the Electrical or Mechanical elements in your file that have been created from the ARC template, it can be for many reasons:

one of the main reasons is the Discipline of the view another reason is the visibility graphics where most of the MEP elements are turned off on the ARC template.

 

Please if this helped you solve your issue mark it as an answer to help others.

Sincerely 

Mahmoud Zeidan

Are these tools activated in your Architectural?

i like your idea about the cafe i was going through the same issue, At the point when I attempt to do my fundamental plan in the Frameworks layout, it is difficult for me to put an underlying outlining and my different entryways and windows on my cafe page
