Electrical Homeruns to J-Box

Hey all, I'm trying to get my circuit path to end and the Specified J-Box instead of the breaker (only wanting to count MC cable not THHN wire going to the J-Box) any Ideas how? It looks like the homerun is stuck to the panel.

If I understand correctly, it sounds like your trying to get a cable length of the circuit, minus the run length from the last J-Box to the panel?  Revit doesn't track the distance between fixtures, just the total.

 

Not sure I'd recommend this, but first thing that comes to mind it making a "fake panel" as a J-Box. Then, circuit your fixtures to that and you would have the circuit distance minus the home run.

That was definitely an option I had in mind but that would mean of course i would first have to connect the receptacles to the J-box, Then the panel afterwards. This would throw off my electrical data and material count unfortunately. But it is one solution thank you!

You could get past some of that with filters...? But that is why I said I wouldn't recommend it.  Its definitely not proper circuiting 🤣
