Branch Panel multi-phase ircuit number problem

Hello, 

 

I've got a problem which I was trying to solve for the past couple hours. Tried to find something on forums, but unfortunately I was not able to. 

 

The problem I bumped into is shown in the attachment. I'm using a distribution system 230V/400V, and I don't need to show a correct phase distribution in schedule. So I was wondering is it possible to make numbering in scedule not by poles, but by just a place in the panel ( like 1-phase circuits). 

 

I could't fix it in the "Edit Template", "Electrical Settings/Circuit Naming". I made it work somehow how I wanted, by changing parameter, but it's inconvinient, because I couldn't make an automated number parameter. Only as "Text", which means I have to write every number by hand, and it's really inconvinient, when you have a lots of circuits in a panel.

 

Also I'm using the latest REVIT 2021.

 

Hope you guys can help me.

Thanks!

To my knowledge, the only way to do this is to use a switchboard family and not a panel family.

 

Multi-pole circuits in panels always show all the poles they are connected to (P-1,3,5).  The switchboard families only use the position in the panel for the circuit number (P-1).  This is an internal Revit thing that you cannot change.

I have the same desire to show a multi-phase circuit (3 pole) as a single digit circuit number.  As shown in the snippet.  The snippet is from Autodesk help (F1) and searching 'Renumber Indexes'.      That is exactly what I want and it appears to be down on a panelboard and not a switchboard template.  

Help!!  thanks

If you use the custom circuit naming tool in Electrical Settings you may be able to get what you want. It's newly added functionality.

Thanks. Custom seems to get the multi-pole CB to be assigned a common number.
