Electrical Home Run arrow head

Is there a way to allow the electrical wiring settings for home runs to be an instance setting?

1. Can you make the number of arrow heads on home runs a property setting so you can selected manually or calculated how many arrow heads are shown (Similar to tick marks)

2. Can you make the style of the home run arrow head a property setting so you could select some home runs to be a filled arrow, and others to be an open arrow? (We are trying display the difference between a 3 phase and 1 phase home run).

No, there really isn't any way to do that, at least not that I'm aware of.

 

I just let Revit show 3 arrows for 3 phase, and a single arrow for single phase.   (A 2 pole circuit has two arrowheads.)

 

You can also create different wire types, and use filters to override the way the arc's look.   For example, you might use a thicker, dashed linetype for 277/480V circuits, and a thinner solid linetype for 120/208V circuits. 

 

But unfortunately, the electrical home run arrowheads are set at the project level, so they are all the same, and they can't be overridden by filters.

So for your single phase homeruns you only have one circuit shown? I think having 1 arrowhead for single phase and 3 for three phase is a good idea, but how do you address when you have (3) single phase circuits in 1 homerun, you would have 3 arrowheads by default from Revit correct?
