Outlet Room Panel Names

Revit

Hello all.

I would like to know your thoughts on how to approach getting the room panel name and number that powers an electrical outlet in a different room. The architectural model is linked into the electrical Revit model. No spaces or rooms reside in the electrical Revit model. The linked architecture Revit model does have room names and numbers.

Thanks ahead of time.

Hi @jdeleon

You can do it like this:

  • Get rooms from the linked arch model.
  • Convert rooms to bounding boxes.
  • Collect all electrical outlets (or fixtures) from your model and get their points.
  • Check which room bounding box each point is inside – that gives you the room name/number from the linked model. by geometry intersect.
  • For the panel, do the same to find which room it’s in.
  • Now you know the outlet’s room and the panel’s room.

You can do this in Dynamo using bounding boxes and point-in-solid checks.
