Shared Parameters

ElectroBIM adds shared parameters to distribution equipment and branch circuits in Revit. They can be used like any other shared parameters. Some of them are used in the default schedules created by the Schedules commands.

tip

See the Making Changes: Don't Modify the Shared Parameters and Panel Schedules sections for more information about using our shared parameters.

ElectroBIM shared parameters are all prefixed with DME:

•  Text parameters begin with DMET. Their parameter Data Type ▾ is set to Text.

•  Numeric parameters begin with DMEN. These parameters use appropriate units where possible; otherwise, their parameter Data Type ▾ is set to Number.

•  Yes/no parameters begin with DMEB. Their parameter Data Type ▾ is set to Yes/No.

•  Revit duplicate parameters begin with DMER. These parameters are used with single-line diagram graphics and will reflect the value of the corresponding Revit built-in parameter for the corresponding device in the model. These parameters are not meant to be used in schedules or in the model.
  For example, on a panel that has the Revit Panel Name parameter set to MDP-1, the corresponding single-line diagram graphic for the panel will display MDP-1 for the DMER_Panel_Name shared parameter.

Shared Parameter Files

Shared parameter files that contain ElectroBIM shared parameters are located where ElectroBIM is installed. The default install location is
C:\Program Files\Design Master Software\Electrical RT.

The name of each file corresponds to its intended Revit version. For example, DesignMasterElectricalRT2024.txt should be used with Revit 2024.
