Cutting Geometry with Nested Void Families in Revit
This approach exploits Revit’s handling of generic hosts and cutting behaviours to facilitate desired outcomes with nested voids. It’s particularly useful in scenarios where direct cutting by nested voids is
coordination
execution of workflow in the correct sequence managed by the competent project team members working together to achieve common, albeit often multifaceted goal. Coordination often involves more than one party
Rated current
Value of current used for specification purposes,established for a specified set of operating conditions.
Current carrying capacity of a cable (Iz)
Iz The current carrying capacity of a cable under the defined installation conditions. This is the effective rating of the cable after the relevant rating factors have been applied, i.e.,Ca,
Current-carrying capacity
Themaximum current which can be carried by a conductor under specified conditions (Installation method, temperature,grouping,etc.)without its steady-state temperature exceeding a specified value (for example,90 ºCfor cables with thermosetting insulation).
Circuit protective device (CPD)
A fuse or circuit-breaker providing overload and fault current protection.
Consumer Unit
Atype of single-phase board for the control and distribution of electrical energy, principally in domestic premises. In the ProDesign software,a consumer unit (CU) can be split into three sections,each with
