Thanks!
We are trying to solve as many problems with electrical design in Revit as we can with our add-in, but there are some improvements that are going to require work on Autodesk's part.
For our customers who are using Revit, I would like to see if it is possible for all of us together to have an influence on what gets added in a future release. We are not a huge number, but the top request in the Electrical category only has 40-some votes. If we are coordinated, there's a chance we can get something done.
To start, let's vote on a small and simple request: be able to set the starting circuit number on a panel schedule. It is a fairly simple feature for them to add. Iit would be immediately helpful to everyone when doing multi-section panels. We tried implementing it, but were unable to do so because of limitations in what Revit allows us to do. If this feature is ever going to get added, Autodesk needs to do it.
(Editor's Note: Autodesk announced it would look into implementing this feature on August 31, 2018. You can still vote for and comment on the request.)
Founded in 1987, Sea-Tac Electric is a top-tier electrical design/build contractor in the Seattle area, serving primarily commercial and industrial customers. Sea-Tac Electric has been using Design Master Electrical RT, an add-in that adds electrical calculations to Revit, for less than one year. But according to Corey McKinnon, LEED AP BD+C, Director of Design and Engineering, the software has already had a major impact on the firm’s engineering workflow, estimating and bottom line.
