Multiple Electrical Circuit Numbering Update

[marc.chapman]

I am modeling our existing facility and inserting 100's of receptacles and want the circuits to be numbered as they are on site. I know I can move each one individually in the schedules but this is way too tedious. I would prefer to either type their circuit numbers in the schedule or properties table or even better use Dynamo.

With the latter option, I have created a Dynamo script that would pull the data to an excel file, let me do the numbering in that sheet and then take those values and write them back to the circuit number parameter. However, it appears the circuit number is read only and won't let Dynamo write these values.

Can anyone suggest an efficient way to manage this exercise? Thanks

Hello,

Unfortunatelly, AFAIK there is no option.

The most efficient way I can think of to accomplish this is to circuit the receptacles in order as they are in the as-built.  Insert all the receptacles without circuiting, first.  Then go through and create the circuits following the pattern of the as-builts.  This will create the circuits in the correct location in the panel as you go.
