There's a new Electrical Building Design Show now available. For "Exploring the Revit 2023 Electrical Sample", David Robison takes a look at the Revit 2023 sample project to examine its structure and explore how ElectroBIM can enhance its single-line diagram workflows.
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 Monday, March 3, so be sure to visit the Design Master YouTube channel and subscribe for notifications of new releases.
For those who preferaudio 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.

Documentation Updates
Documentation
The following changes have been made to our documentation in the past month:
ElectroBIM
Updates to the ElectroBIM user manual to reflect changes in version 2.2.3.
The software tutorial has been updated to showcase the latest features and includes new videos.
Added a new page: Worksharing With ElectroBIM detailing how commands behave differently in a work-shared Revit model.
Knowledge Base
The following changes have been made to the knowledge base in the past month:
ElectroBIM
Removed "Training Video" sections from each knowledge base. Articles containing training videos were moved into categories more consistent with the material covered.
Knowledge base articles were organized within categories so that closely related articles are grouped when browsing each knowledge base.
A "Revit-Focused" section was added, which contains articles that are generally helpful for Revit users even when they aren't using ElectroBIM. Current articles include:
Modifying panel schedules in Revit is easy once you know what to do. The video goes over the basics, while the written supplement provides additional context for each command and setting.
When thinking about moving your electrical workflow to Revit, there are certain concepts that need to be learned. The article and accompanying videos will help new users get started.
Design Master Photometrics
A new article was added to the Design Master Photometrics knowledge base.
While our photometrics software is intended for outdoor lighting calculation, it is possible to perform simple indoor calculations with some limitations.
