Add a parameter for AIC rating of breakers in database
Add the AIC rating of each breaker in the database for each voltage and then create a parameter that shows the AIC rating for the breaker. The AIC rating for the breakers would show different values base on the voltage selected.

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.

Electrical + HVAC for Revit in German with german norms
We have a large Building design Industrie. And all Arch and Eng companies are now changing from AutoCad to Revit but there is no good Software on the market for engineers to calculate electrical or HVAC Systems. An app for Revit for both will make it all better and faster. The potential could be in the millions.

Diffuser Airflow Patterns
HVAC diffusers have air flow patterns much like light fixtures have photometric patterns.
Air Diffuser manufacturers supply the pattern shapes and provide the distances in feet for airflow velocities at 150FPM, 100FPM and 50FPM for heating and cooling.
Is there a way you can give the DM user the ability to insert their own airflow pattern (through a formatted file input) with contour lines similar to DM photo metrics?
This would be DM's start into Computational Fluid Dynamics.

Incorporate adjustable trip breakers
Add the ability to specify breakers with electronic trip units (ETUs), aka adjustable trip breakers, in Design Master projects.
The intent of adding this capability would be to allow the user to flag where an ETU is used and display the required/desired settings.
It would NOT be the intent to make DM have the functionality to do the coordination studies necessary to develop the settings.
1) Electronic trip breakers, when used, are usually MCBs or feeder breakers with the following characteristics:
Breaker Frame (AF)
Breaker trip (AT)
Breaker plug size (AP)*Long-time pickup (LTPU)
Long-time delay (LTD)
Short-time pickup (STPU) …4 votes -

Unique ID for all Feeders and Branch Circuits
Have a way to make a unique cable ID for every feeder, branch circuit and low voltage circuit. For example P-MCC1-001 for the power cable fed from MCC1 or PT-FLOWGAS-003 for a pressure transmitter.
I'm working on a big industrial plant where I need a have a cable number for every cable in the plant.
I would like to have the ID on the one line, plan view drawing and export to Excel.

Insert Devices via command line
Be able to insert a receptacle/device without picking it from the 'Insert Receptacle' form. A command followed by the device name would prompt the user to place the receptacle like they just clicked "OK" after selecting a device.
