Hi, first, I'm not a Revit user. My daughter has built a model of my home. She has an arch and structural background. So we've run into some issues with electrical. She has modeled the circuits, but it's not scheduling right. I don't think the panel is modeled correctly. Do you need to specify what circuit breaker is in each slot? Or do you just edit the schedule? Can you point me to a learning resource? Any advice. FYI the panel is a GE class CTL, model TSM2020CSCU, 200A, 120/240 VAC 3 wire 1-phase.... Just in case there is a family for this.

Hello,
You can create a panel schedule and edit the parameter. Select the panel, and the panel schedule creation command will become available.
Another approach is to create an Electrical Circuit Schedule.

We already have a schedule started, but I don't know how to tell Revit what breakers are installed in what slot. Some are mini breakers that take up one slot and some are regular breakers that take up 2 slots. with different amp ratings. Some are GFI and some are AFCI, some are neither. So I was asking if I should edit the panel or just change the text in the schedule?
Also, the default family that I found only has a choice of 120 100A or 120 225A panels. Mine is 120/240 200A. Is there a better family or should I create a new panel family?
Thanks for your help.
select the circuit in the in the schedule and use the Move options to move the circuit to a different location.

Hi @hmunsell That's a nice tip I can use, but it's not my problem now. Lets say I have a 2 pole bkr at 15,16. I need the schedule to show that so when I create a home run, it get's added to 15,16, not just 15. I was thinking that the schedule is 'connected' to the panel and gets breaker positions from the panel. Is that thinking wrong? Or is the schedule independent from the panel, thus the schedule is nothing more than a spreadsheet that I need to add text to 15 and 16?
Your panel shows A, B and C phases. Mine is A, B, neutral.
---update
I should mention that my panel is a 120/240 vac, single phase, 3 wire, 2 pole with 20 slots. odd are A and even are B. Each breaker position can take two mini breakers. You could look at it as 40 slots. So I have a whole variety of loads, 15a, 20a, 30a, 50a. I've since found out that indeed, the schedule is linked to the panel and I think I have the panel family configured right, except for the breakers. I just need to know how to double up the slots for breakers that take 2 slots and specify the breaker's amperage and whether normal, GFI, or AFCI.
I solved the problem with the help of this video. I first had to create a new panel family that had the right number of poles. Then I had to create a new distribution system for it. I also had to create a new 240V dryer outlet family that used 2 poles.
