Electrical Distribution System Built-in Parameter Scheduling

Electrical Distribution System Built-in Parameter Scheduling

I think this might have been an oversight in development rather than a active decision but the revit distribution system parameter that is required for connecting circuits to electrical equipment is not schedulable. It is available in panel schedule headers and that is how the panelboards are typically being specified but this does not meet the need of specifying disconnects, transformers, and other types of electrical equipment. Please make this parameter schedulable like other built-in parameters such as panel name.

Just to add a blanket statement to this which I believe has been asked for in other ideas is to simply make all parameters schedulable.  But especially those built in parameters!!  Autodesk, you're creating those and you didn't think to make them able to be schedulable???  I'm not even an electrical engineer and even I know this doesn't make sense!!!  Thank you.

This should also apply to secondary distribution systems of transformer families.

Perfect, I didn't know that was included in the newest version. Thanks!

@CodyPfister, apparently 18 others of us didn't think to look either, so you're not alone.  Just one more reason to be starting new projects in 2026 now then huh?  

Status changed to: Implemented

We are pleased to say that this has been implemented in Revit 2026! Thank you for your contribution to improving Revit!
