When you are creating circuits for lighting fixtures, it is important that
the properties of the connector in the switch family match those of the

system type for the connector in your switch families, you cannot add it to
the circuit for the light fixtures, but you can still draw the wiring from the

detail or model lines to represent the wiring from a fixture to the switch. If
you use the Wire tool to draw from a fixture to the switch or from the switch
to a fixture, a home run is created when you connect to the fixture.
Editing Wiring
If the wiring that is automatically generated is not drawn exactly as you
would like, it can be edited. When you select a wire, grips enable you to
change the wire's arc and location. Right-clicking the wire also gives you
the ability to add vertices to or remove them from the wire, giving you even
more control over its final appearance.
What Is Wire?
In Revit MEP 2015, wire is a special type of symbolic line. Wires are not
model components, and they are visible only in the view in which they
are drawn.
