CAD or BIM is the topic of the newest Electrical Building Design Show. In "NECA 2024 Thoughts", David Robison talks about the differences and choices available between CAD and BIM in the electrical engineering community and how to get the most out of them.

As of this publication, all episodes are available to view on the Electrical Building Design Show Playlist. If there are any you've missed, please go back through the playlist and catch whatever you would like to watch.

The next episode will premiere on Tuesday, December 10, so be sure to visit the Design Master YouTube channel and subscribe for notifications of new releases.

For those who prefer audio podcasts instead, there’s a version of the show in that format also. It’s carried on all the major podcast channels (Spotify, Apple, Google, Amazon, etc.), and can be found by searching for the show by name.

ElectroBIM 2.2.3 Beta was released on November 19, 2024 and is now available. This beta adds several useful features, including a new Generate Riser command for inserting part or all of a single-line diagram into a Revit drafting view.

This beta replaces the current version of ElectroBIM when installed and is required on all the computers running the software at your office. The beta updates all projects it’s used on, and these updated projects aren’t compatible with previous software versions.

We recommend having a secure backup system in place to ensure it’s easy to retrieve a copy of a project from the prior day, and the previous week and month.

As with any new version, there’s a possibility for bugs to be addressed promptly as they’re identified, and frequent updates will be made available.

For more information on the beta release, see the link below.
