Multiple Circuit Home Run Arrows in Revit

For many electrical designers using Revit for their construction documents, the home run arrow for circuits is an important part of their drawings.  When multiple circuits are part of one home run, the designer wants to show multiple arrowheads on the circuit leader.  This is an easy task to accomplish in Revit.

The following steps show how to accomplish that task with 3 separate circuits combined into one home run.  This can be done with various quantities of circuits and various types of electrical devices or equipment.  These instructions are simplified for illustration purposes.

Instructions:

  • The following illustration shows 3 different circuits, each with their own home run.
