Switchboard layout
The distribution system of a switchboard component can be defined after
placement by selecting the element and using the Distribution System
drop-down on the Options Bar or by editing the instance properties in the
Properties palette.
Panels
Electrical distribution panels are called many things by different users, such
as
panels
,
panelboards
, or
breaker boxes
. In this topic, we refer to them
as
panels
and
panelboards
. The process for placing panels into your model
is similar to placing other types of electrical equipment. The panel families
that come with Revit MEP 2015 are useful because they are easily
customized to meet your company's standards for panel representation on
construction documents. These families are face hosted, so if you want to
use nonhosted families for your panels, you will have to create them from
scratch.
