General

The articles in this section describe a variety of concepts and tasks, such as how to model different scenarios or perform Revit functions that affect ElectroBIM.

📄️ The Electrical Design Triangle

Training video on a framework that will help you better understand how to model your electrical design in Revit.

📄️ Modeling Special Equipment Configurations

If the internal specifications of your equipment do not significantly impact calculations, you can use notes and manual drafting to indicate them without actually modeling them.

📄️ The Panel Edit Command

Training video on how to get the most out of the features in the Panel Edit command.

📄️ Removing Devices From the Panel Edit List

The Panel Edit list is populated based upon the Revit Family Category and Part Type of devices in your project. You can modify those values in the family to remove those devices from the list.

📄️ Configuring Panels

Training video on how to configure panels and similar distribution equipment in ElectroBIM.

📄️ Configuring Transformers

Training video on how to configure transformers in ElectroBIM.

📄️ Transformer OCP Sizes

Training video on how to configure OCP sizing for transformers in ElectroBIM.

📄️ Bus Ducts in Revit

ElectroBIM can work with bus ducts, but some additional work is required to calculate feeder lengths properly.

📄️ Bus Ducts in Revit Training Video

Training video exploring different ways you can model bus ducts and how each method impacts single-line diagrams and calculations in ElectroBIM.

📄️ The Family Edit Command

Training video on how you can modify your families to work better with ElectroBIM.

📄️ Customizing Families ft. Brian Muir

Training video on how to customize your families in ElectroBIM, and more. This training was led by Brian Muir, P.Eng., of Muir Engineering.

📄️ The Instance Edit Command

Training video exploring the settings you can adjust on instances in your projects.

📄️ The Circuit Edit Command

Training video on how to get the most out of the features in the Circuit Edit command.

📄️ Branch Circuits in Revit

Training video on how to configure circuit descriptions, breaker sizing, and wire sizing for branch circuits in ElectroBIM.

📄️ Circuit Descriptions in ElectroBIM

Training video on how you can use ElectroBIM to manage your circuit descriptions on panel schedules.

📄️ Linked Revit Model Room Names in Circuit Descriptions

Room names must be defined in your electrical model for ElectroBIM to use them in your circuit descriptions. Fortunately, Revit does have tools to help you quickly import the rooms from the linked model.

📄️ Setting the Default Breaker Size for Panels

Default breaker sizes can be set for branch circuits and feeders using the Wire Sizing command.

📄️ Wire Size Customization in ElectroBIM

Training video on how to customize the wire sizes used in your project in ElectroBIM.

📄️ Project Options in ElectroBIM

Training video playlist on how to customize ElectroBIM using the Project Options command.

📄️ Adding ElectroBIM Shared Parameters to Revit Panel Schedules

Training video exploring panel schedules in Revit. Learn how to customize them with ElectroBIM shared parameters.

📄️ Main Disconnect Type Revit Formulas

The DMEN_Panel_MainDisconnectType shared parameter can be used to write Revit formulas that display different information based upon a panel's main disconnect type.

📄️ EVOLVE Integration

Training video exploring integration features in ElectroBIM for EVOLVE Electrical, a conduit routing tool for electrical contractors in Revit.

📄️ ElectroBIM Mailbag October 2021

How to set the material type for specific feeders, modify your one-line diagram graphic lists, and more in ElectroBIM.
