We just upgraded to 2012 and are slowly noticing issues and fixing them. This one has us baffled though. I'm fairly new to Revit so I apologize if this is simple.

When adjusting the tick marks for wires for a circuited fixture, I can't seem to make the number of conductors for any of the types (0). For example, tick marks to a switch should be (2) hots, (0) neutral, and (0) ground (we don't show ground ticks except for isolated grnd). Revit 2012 will not let me change the neutral or ground tick marks to (0); it must be (1) or higher.

Is there a setting somewhere I am missing? MEP 2011 allowed me to change those numbers to anything I wanted. I never used it, but I heard MEP 2010 had a similar issue that was corrected in 2011 so it sounds we took a step backwards.

Thanks!Ryan

you should be able to go under your home tab and electrical tab there is a arrow at bottom if you go in there and select wire you can remove what tick you want to show up and if you have nothing in there it wont show a tick

There are times we need to show the ground (isolated ground, outdoor circuits) and times we show the neutral. Changing the setting would prevent those tick marks from showing up for every circuit.
