Ravenstown Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 when using the equipment and panel functions of the build tab is it possible to modify the physical size of the equipment or panel to the actual dimensions, or are we stuck with the default size the software provides?

Bartjacks Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 no we are not stuck. look at your properties box for all the equipment and you can change sizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenstown Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 I don't see anything in the Properties that allows you to adjust width, depth, height for panels or equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenstown Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 We have Revit but no one we are working with uses it. Since we are electrical and follow the mechanical lead, they typically set everything up with their autocad / cad pipe environment. Also none of the electrical manufacturers seem to have jumped on the bandwagon in regard to providing models of their equipment like the mechanical world. Typically our models are nothing but boxes (for all the panels and larger gear), conduit and cabletray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even big shot manufacturers like Trane have DWG imports. Ugh... just kills me. So I always create my own Equipment Families but you are correct, electrical is just boxes mainly so it's pretty easy. Like, 10 seconds or less easy per equipment, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
