equipment if you want to move the location of the connection.

Individual connectors have a static location that can be modified only by
editing the family. Only one conduit can be drawn from this type of
connector. These are useful when the point of connection is clearly defined
on a piece of equipment.
Revit MEP 2015 has tools that allow you to model parallel runs of conduit.
This is very useful for modeling banks of conduit runs quickly, without
having to model several runs or make copies.
To model parallel runs of conduit, you need to start with a single run.
Once the run is complete, you can click the Parallel Conduits button on
the Electrical panel of the Systems tab. This activates the Parallel Conduits
contextual tab, which contains settings for the parallel runs, as shown in
