1.1 Definition 
A Collection of elements in a project. 
For Electrical, worksets typically define discrete functional systems, such as Lighting, Power, 
Telephone, or life safety systems. 
When you enable worksharing, you can divide a project into worksets, with different team 
members responsible for each workset. 
1.2 Active workset 
The workset to which new elements are added. The active workset name displays on 
Collaborate tab Manage Collaboration panel or the status bar 
 
1.3 Create Electrical Worksets 
We can create worksets based on electrical systems as the following: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
How we can use the above Worksets in our systems? 
By visibility view we can select the different actions “Show/Hide / Use Global Setting“ 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes: 
Use Global Setting: Shows or hides the workset depending on the value of the Visible in All Views 
column of the Worksets dialog, which is displayed in parentheses. 
Show: Displays the workset in the view, regardless of its global setting. 
Hide: Hides the workset in the view, regardless of its global setting.

2.1 Definition 
A view template is a collection of view properties, such as view scale, discipline, detail level, and visibility 
settings. 
Use view templates to apply standard settings to views. View templates can help to ensure adherence to 
office standards and achieve consistency across construction document sets. 
2.2 Create a View Template 
You can create a view template by duplicating an existing view template and making necessary

Line styles are used to indicate different effects, such as 
a dashed (------) line for reference planes. When you 
install and run Vasari, several line styles are included. 
Each predefined line style has a name that describes 
either the line (for example, Dash dot), or where Vasari 
uses the line style (for example, <Sketch> lines). Vasari 
stores the line styles in the default template. 
 
And the following table shows line widths for different 
applications

6.1 About Wiring Types 
Use the Wiring Types table to specify the wire types that can be used in your project. 
You can add or remove wire types as needed. Multiple wire types can be specified for a project. The 
first entry specified in the wire type’s table dialog is the default wire type used for circuits created in 
the project. This should be the wire type used for the majority of the wiring in a project. You can 
select a different wire type for a circuit on its Properties palette 
 
6.2 Wire Types 
In the Electrical Setting dialog, you select wire types from the About Wiring Types table to specify the 
wire types that can be used within a project. Multiple wire types can be specified for a project (in the 
Electrical Settings dialog). When more than one wire type is specified for a project, the type can be 
selected on the circuit’s Properties palette. The first entry specified in the wiring types table is the 
default selection. This should be the wire type used for the majority of the wiring in a project. 
In addition to the wire types provided with Revit, you can add and remove wire types, and transfer 
wire types from other project 
6.3 Create Wire Types and Filter it in the Project. 
We have a number of wire types similar to number of electrical systems so we will be creating 6 
Types of wire for (Lighting, Power, Telephone/Data, Voice Evacuation, Emergency Lighting, and Fire 
Alarm) 
6.3.1 How can create wire types? 
We can create the Types of wire by using filter method as the follows: 
 
6.3.1.1 Add Wire type 
 
Open the Electrical settings, 
Click Manage tab Settings panel MEP Settings drop-down Electrical Settings. OR Click 
ES and ad new types as the below

7.1 Definition 
A schedule is a tabular display of information, extracted from the properties of the elements in a project. A 
schedule can list every instance of the type of element you are scheduling, or it can collapse multiple 
instances onto a single row, based on the schedule's grouping criteria. 
7.2 Create a Schedule 
You can create a schedule at any point in the design process. As you make changes to the project that 
affects the schedule, it automatically updates to reflect those changes. You can add a schedule to a 
drawing sheet. 
1. Click View tab Create panel Schedules drop-down Schedule/Quantities. 
2. In the New Schedule dialog, select a component from the category list. A default name appears in the 
Name text box, which you can change as necessary. 
3. Select Schedule building components. 
Note: Do not select Schedule keys. 
4. Specify the phase. 
5. Click OK. 
6. In the Schedule Properties dialog, specify the schedule properties. 
7. Click OK. 
Multi-category schedules can only include loadable families. When you select shared parameters, 
categories which do not have the chosen shared parameters will be unable to be selected. 
 
For Example: we will create schedule for Electrical fixtures

8.1 Definition 
Key Schedules can comprise multiple items that have the same characteristics. For example, a room 
schedule might have 100 rooms with the same floor, ceiling, and base finishes. Rather than enter all this 
information manually for all 100 rooms in the schedule, you can define keys that automatically fill in 
information. If a room has a defined key, then as that room is added to a schedule, fields in the schedule 
automatically update, reducing the time required to produce the schedule. 
You define keys using key schedules. Key schedules look very similar to component schedules, except 
that you define them to your specifications. When you create a key, it is listed as an instance property for 
the element. When you apply a value for the key, then the key's attributes are applied to the element. 
 
8.2 Create a Key Schedule 
In the first we will be create normal schedule for Panel Schedule Information as Chapter 7 and the name is 
Panel Schedule 
 
 
And we are creating new schedules. For Circuit Information 
1. Click View tab Create panel Schedules drop-down Schedule/Quantities. 
2. In the New Schedule dialog, select Electrical Circuit from category 
3. Select Schedule keys. 
Revit automatically fills in the Key name. This is the name that appears among the element's instance 
properties. If desired, enter a new name. 
4. Click OK.

5. In the Schedule Properties dialog, add the predefined fields for the style. For example, add Circuit 
Breaker, Wire Size, and RCC Size…. Etc. 
Fields or parameters from the selected category can be scheduled using keys. Additional project 
parameters can be added to the category and scheduled. 
Note: You cannot use shared parameters in a key schedule. 
6. Click OK. 
 
The key schedule opens. 
7. Click Modify Schedule/Quantities tab Rows panel (Insert Data Row) to add rows to the table. 
Each row creates a new value for the key. For example, we are created the Panel Schedule information 
and key schedule “Circuit Information”, you can create key values for 1PH Appliance- 20 A, 1PH 
Appliance- TSSO, 1PH Lighting- External, 3PH EWH- 32 A, 3PH HVAC- 40 A, and so on. 
And add the Key schedule” Circuit Information “in the “Panel Schedule information” 
 
8. Fill in the appropriate information for each of the key values
