Implement the option to manually assign custom conductor size
This option will allow the user to set a custom set of wires, this is helpful because sometimes we want to provide a diferent wire size or equivalent wire sizes, and we would have the option to evaluate Fault/voltage drop values with that specif conductor and it would also calculate the conduit and %fill

Add the option for 2Pole - 4Wire equipment
We need this option , mostly for equipment such as Electriacal Ranges and Dryers where they required 2 hots + nuetral + ground meaning it would use 4 wires instead of the normal 3. as of now the only option that we have is 240/120V 2P 3W, but i think that is incorrect it shoudl be 240V 2P 4W

Add orthogonal option for equipment's call outs to make them organized
It would be great to have the option to make the call outs for the equipments othogonal, we have a lot of issues trying to make them straight and as of now we can only do it manually and the autocad orthogonal option does not work.

Change how elements appear in the tree and list in the UI
As of right now, the tree/list display the panel name for electrical equipment which is great but for electrical fixtures, these show the family type name meaning if I have a connection point family, there are hundreds of instances of "Connection Point" in the list and you don't actually know which one is the one that you are looking to edit or add to your single line. We would like to see an option where we can have the name that appears in the UI be equal to a parameter that we are using to name that element in our…

Sheet location for Panels
add parameter for sheet a panel schedule is on so we can tag in plan or create a filter by sheet list showing which sheet a panel schedule is on.

include plumbing equipment in the calcs
It would be nice to be able to have the same calcs as the mech equipment be done to plumbing equipment.
Revit 2026 added these too. I for see I will need AIC calcs and VD's for these too.

Selective Coordination Graph: Scale
Selective coordination graphs currently insert at a fixed size, irrespective of drafting view scale.
Add an option to adjust the size of selective coordination graphs.

lock
Would be nice if we could lock project options after a project has gone out to prevent accidental changes that would affect cost. like Jr engineer selecting VD automatic based on 80% of breaker after the project has been bid. The lock would serve as a warning to confirm twice that you wish to unlock the options for this project and or identify the potential impacts to previously issued information.

Support Alignment Points for Multiple Buildings/Sites
This capability is critically important when a project includes several buildings.
Relying on a single alignment point (AP) makes it extremely difficult to configure and manage the project efficiently, often forcing teams to split it into separate files with different electrical bases.By enabling multiple alignment points, each building can establish its own reference while still maintaining accurate distances to all shared distribution equipment. This ensures consistency, simplifies coordination, and keeps the entire site model unified.
For example, we could have AP (A), AP (B), AP (C) etc.

Additional Equipment Circuit Types in Wire Ampacities Table
We have different applications where different approaches to circuiting are required. Some equipment needs to fed with wire and conduit, some needs to be fed by tray cable with no conduit, some is fed with SO cord from bus plugs. ElectroBIM does not have an API to allow us to bulk edit the circuiting approach and circuit edit does not allow for efficient swapping of circuiting types if different ampacity ratings are at play. The request would be to keep the branch circuit and feeders columns in the wire ampacity table as is, but the equipment column in the wire…

spare load
Would be nice if there was a project option to populate spares with a load. something like 500w or 1000w or by amps.....

Separate circuit labels for lights with 2 or more loads.
For light fixtures with two loads, it would be helpful to be able to separate the circuit labels and switch group labels. This would help to label two loops and provide clearer presentation.

Expand "Calculate Voltage Drop" Command
Make "Calculate Voltage Drop" command also work on electrical equipment such as panelboard/switchboard/recurring panel instance, etc. It takes a LONG time to run/insert the voltage drop schedule if there are too many recurring panel instances or electrical equipment. Looking for a quicker way to check VD value.

Add Calculation/Multiplier Feature for Welders Based on NEC 630.
NEC 630 lists multiplication factors (basically diversity percentages) for arc welders and resistance welders. It would be very helpful to have a feature that incorporated those calculations into panel schedules and other load calculations, very similar to the feature used to calculate kitchen equipment diversity.

Add Voltage Drop Total parameter to Electrical Fixtures
I'd like to be able to show the Total Voltage Drop, from utility to load, in Electric Fixture schedules. Currently the only parameters available for Electrical Fixtures is DMET/DMENVoltageDropFeeder. The circuit properties has a DMET/DMENCircuitVoltageDrop_Total parameter, my ask is if this can be added to the Electric Fixture category as well. The voltage drop back to the utility is a more useful number because code requires us to keep that number under 5%.

Light Level Report - Totals
Have the option to remove the 'Totals' from the bottom of the Light Level Report - we sometimes use this for showing our light levels comply with hotel brand light level criteria and the 'totals' at the bottom is unnecessary and inaccurate as we don't always include all spaces.

Easily Remove / Add Lighting Callouts
Though there are the project settings, it would be ideal to simplify being able to add or remove lighting callouts without the risk of having them reappear after coordinating the database. For example, when fixtures are close together, being able to remove the other callouts and add (typ) to the one showing would help declutter drawings.
