Hi, my office has decided to move from AutoCAD 2008 into Revit in the very near future; we have taken some courses, and are now transferring some drawing standards into Revit so that projects can be begun directly in Revit. I am heading this transfer and am wondering a few things:

1) For electrical symbols in plans, should these be made as Components, all in one family? or Separate components? Am I better off just downloading them from somewhere?

2) How can one add annotation to a plan symbol, like 'Block Attributes' in CAD? We mark our electrical fixtures as E (Existing), N (New), R (Replace), etc.

 

Thanks for any advice  you have!

You can do this as an annotation symbol.  I think the lettering could be a switchable on/off using a yes/no parameter.  You would want one parameter for each letter.
