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.

📄️ Setting the Default Breaker Size for Panels

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

📄️ Bus Ducts in Revit

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

📄️ Automatic Transfer Switches in Revit

Automatic transfer switches can be modeled in Revit as long as the family is properly configured and you follow these steps.

📄️ 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.

📄️ 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.

📄️ 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.

📄️ 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.
