  1. Warn users not to Edit Family from detail items

    It's easy to accidently try to edit the upstream or downstream OCP settings by using the Edit Family tools on the detail item instead of the electrical equipment or electrical fixture. It even lets you go so far as to fill out the settings for the detail item, but you won't see the results in your model. It would be nice if there was a warning if you try to use the Edit Family tool from within a Detail Item, since that likely means you're editing the wrong information.

  4. Per-Panel Wire Sizing

    Assign different wire sizing options to different panels. For example, have the minimum circuit breaker for most panels be 20A, but be able to specify 15A for some panels in the project.

  5. Individual Customization Settings Import/Export

    At times I just want to push some changes I made, say to the wire ampacities, to our template from a project. However, I am always concerned that other settings my be incidentally changed since the import/export is all or nothing.

    Providing a dialog to select what gets imported/exported or providing import/export in the individual dialogs would be helpful. I think the former would be preferred.

  6. Add "text" to a panel schedule to include the HVAC tag.

    Add "text" to a panel schedule to include the HVAC tag to differentiate HVAC equipment on a panel. Currently we are having to edit each circuit and add the HVAC tag manually to make it easier for the owner to identify which breaker serves which unit.

    The DM workflow for this functionality is to use the “Instance Edit” command on the HVAC equipment. Override the circuit description there. Then, you get the right callout being displayed on whatever circuit you are connected to.

  7. Add option to remove spaces in 'DMW: Circuit: Wire Callout'

    Add option so that wire callout will displays without spaces:
    3#10,#10G,3/4"C

    Currently displays as:
    3#10, #10G, 3/4"C

    I see this as being a preference, so that is why I suggest making it an option.

    Added in DM Electrical RT 1.2.1. We did it using new parameters.

    The original wire callouts included spaces and wrap across multiple lines, but are long. The new “WireCallout_Compact” wire callouts do not include spaces and are shorter, but do not wrap.

  8. Adjust Feeders and branch circuit sizing based on derating

    Adjust the wire size of feeders and branch circuits based on derating. This calculation needs to account for Ambient Temperature Correction Factors, Adjustment Factors and conduits on a roof (even though NEC 2017 eliminated this one). For example, there is an option in DME RT feeder sizing that asks about a double neutral. If we are acknowledging we need a double neutral, it should be understood the neutral is a current carrying conductor and should adjust the wire size and conduit size per the NEC.

  9. One-Line Export to Drafting Views

    If there was a way to have the export of one line diagrams go to drafting views instead of populating external dwgs?

  13. Custom Transformer Impedance and XR Ratio

    Be able to create a custom table of impedance and XR ratio values for transformers based upon the kVA. Currently the default values are fixed. If you always use different values, you have to manually change them every time.

  15. Fill in "Schedule Circuit Note" based upon family type

    We want a parameter in a family type to fill in the “schedule circuit notes”. We think that would be invaluable to mention things like fuse size, GFCI breaker requirements, etc.
