DC arc flash
Incorporate DC Arc Flash calculations. A lot of design work now has an element of renewable energy devices - solar, wind, etc. And many of those have battery 'peak shaving' capability. Being able to calculate both AC and DC arc flash given the electrical model will provide a one-stop-shop for arc flash. I would not rely so heavily on SKM. Thanks!

Room Names in Circuit Description
Provide an option for Room Names analogous to the "Conduit location" Option. Also consider other customization:
-Custom Room prefix - e.g. RM
-Option to include/exclude Name - e.g., RM 120
-Option to include/exclude Number - e.g., RM FIRE RISERRoom Names Location:
->Start of Circuit Description
->End of Circuit DescriptionCurrently the room names always go at the end, just like OOTB Revit. Having the option to put the room at the start would allow for better scheduling for when the intent is for circuits to be organized by room, like so:

Be able to create a panel schedule for existing loads not in model
I do a lot of remodel work and it would be nice to be able to fill out a panel schedule with existing load data from a hard copy of an existing panel schedule without have to actually put the loads in the model and then circuiting them.
7 votesI won’t say never, but this feature would be quite difficult currently. We let Revit handle all the loads in the project. It really needs to be handled by Autodesk directly rather than by us.

Include "1" before single ground and neutral wires
Add an option to include a "1" in the wire callout before single ground and neutral wires. Currently the wire size is listed with no count before it.
Current wire callout:
1/2"C, 1#12, #12N, #12GNew wire callout:
1/2"C, 1#12, 1#12N, 1#12G4 votes -

Specify fault at upstream device
Be able to specify the fault at the upstream device, rather than at the current device. This feature would be useful when you want to specify the fault at the utility transformer but it is not included in the Revit model.

Add "Panel Neutral" in Revit MEP
Add "Panel Neutral" as a parameter to panels in Revit MEP.
Options for neutral would be:
50%
100%
133%
200%
NoneThis value would be a shared parameter for scheduling purposes. It would not be used in any calculations.
