The new Switch Phases command on the Modify Panel Schedule ribbon allows you to rotate phases for 1- and 2-pole circuits in switchboards. Rotate Phases for 1- and 2-Pole Circuits in Switchboards You can even include shared parameters.Īdditionally, a new Renumber Indexes command has been added in case the circuit numbers get misaligned while balancing your panels. For example, you can assign abbreviations to your load classifications and have that abbreviation appear before (or after) the circuit number. Revit already allows for circuit names that include the panel or phase, but this way, you can customize the scheme to fit your needs. This feature is also aimed primarily at users outside the US. Circuit naming schemes are defined in the Electrical Settings->Circuit Naming dialog box, and can be set at the project level and for each panel. In addition to the circuit naming schemes provided by Revit, you can now define custom circuit naming schemes that will appear on panel schedules and floor plans. The option to hide or disable phase columns in the Circuit Table, which used to reference the third-phase column for single-phase panels, now references “unused phases” for “panels other than three phases.” Circuit Naming Schemes The difference you’re most likely to notice is some wording changes in the panel schedule template options. Previously, users had to employ workarounds like using switchboards to model their panels.įor US-based engineers, this change probably won’t affect you (unless you’re working with lighting inverter panels, possibly). Revit 2021 supports 1P2W L-N panels, a configuration often seen in the UK and EU. This change won’t affect how panel schedules and sheets interact however, it will make it easier for you to track and modify the panel schedules on your sheets. In the Project Browser, panel schedules are listed under sheets that contain them, similar to other views. This update is a general quality-of-life improvement that will make large schedules easier to read when printed. These options are available in the Properties->Appearance dialog box. With Revit 2021, you can now customize the colors for the rows, and set whether striped rows are visible on sheets. Revit 2020.1 introduced the Stripe Rows command, which added color to alternating rows in schedules, making them easier to read. This post briefly explains each feature and what it will mean for your electrical design workflow. Among the slew of new and improved features in Revit 2021, Autodesk has included several changes that will directly or indirectly impact electrical engineers.
