Does anyone know a good way to add existing loads to a panel schedule without having the actual equipment in the model? We do a lot of remodels and are always having to add new loads to existing panels. I want to be able to recreate an existing panel and it's loads so i can add new work to it. This wasn't much of an issue when we were just using excel for our schedules, but we are hoping to use Revit more for future projects. Right now I've just been assigning a spare to a cicuit and typing in the cb amp and phase load. It seems to work ok but the numbers are slightly off from what the existing panels say. The other problem with using a spare is that you can't assign load type. 

Any ideas?

Why not just create an invisible family that you can alter the load in and connect that as existing.....

Wow.... glad to hear that. 

It was just an out-of-the-box thought and I mean out.  I only do architecture.
