It is best to keep your load classification names simple and descriptive

families. When working in the Family Editor, you can use the Transfer
Project Standards tool on the Manage tab to transfer load classification
settings from your project or template file into the family to ensure
coordination.
There are many load classifications that come with the default electrical
templates. You can create your own by using the buttons below the list, in

In the Demand Factors dialog box, you can define the demand factors that
are assigned to load classifications. The default electrical templates come

using the buttons in the lower-left corner of the dialog box.
