How to Wire between different floor levels

This section describes step-by-step on how to use the Model link feature in Electrical discipline.

A Fire Protection Cable System is routed through 2 different floor levels, starting in the lower level, creating a loop in the upper level and then going back downstairs, building one closed wiring system.

Electrical discipline also creates labels for all devices, cable lists and block diagrams.

Note: this tutorial/exercise uses 2 drawings: floorplan_1 representing the lower floor level and floorplan_2 for the upper level.

The Model link can be performed with any Electrical discipline drawing and any number of drawings.
