Customize Parallel Run Labeling
Add customization options for how multiple parallel runs are labeled for wires.
DM currently labels multiple sets with the number of sets in parenthesis before the full wire callout:
(3) 3-1/2"C, 4-600kcmil, 3/0G
If you are interested this feature, indicate in the comments how you would like the multiple runs labeled.

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!

Automatically add Diffuser Arrows for 1W, 2W, 3W & 4W
In the diffuser definition dialog box, designate whether it is a 1W, 2W, 3W or 4W diffuser, then attach that number of arrows. When placing the diffuser, allow the user to rotate the diffuser to align the appropriate air flow direction.

Add a hatch pattern to room definitions
When defining rooms, it is often difficult to determine which rooms have been defined and which have not, if an area gets surrounded. Adding a hatch pattern on its own layer would make it much easier to determine if you've included all room definition areas.

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.

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.

Luminaire energy code settings should default to "input VA" for Watts & "schedule descrip." for description
This would save two extra input steps in most cases. You could still click into the box to edit the Watts and Description.

Print Full Panel Schedules to 8.5x11 Sheets
Print full panel schedules, exactly as shown on the drawing, to a printer using 8.5x11 paper.
One specific use for these panel schedules would be to be submitted to Labor and Industries in Washington state for review.

MULTIPLE ARROWS
It would be nice to be able to have multiple arrows for 1 piece of text pointing to different devices

Provide Minumum air flow calculations
If the minimum air flow is set in the calculation bases on a parameter such as air change rate, cfm/sq ft or a set cfm it would be nice to have that as a column in the calculation output.

Circuit and Move Note in one step
Often when circuiting I find the location DM puts the label is very poor. It would be nice if after inserting the circuit I could move the circuit text without having to stop the circuiting action, move the text, then start the circuiting action again.

Add capability to adjust Target Conduit fill at Panel Level and in options + Warning when exceeded
Sometimes I prefer to over-size conduit for various reasons. However, if this is done manually at the panel level and then the feeder / ampacity changes, its very easy to have a feeder that exceeds 40% fill. Proving an option to adjust the maximum fill from 40% would allow the user to over-size conduits without manually selecting a size.
Also, adding an alert that warns you when a feeder exceeds 40% (Similar to the panel threshold warning) would be a great add.

People in Room Setting
Add an option to input people in a room using "People / 1000 sf" as the unit. Currently you can input people using "SF / Person" which requires a conversion from the numbers provided by some codes.

Size ground and isolated ground separately
Add an option to the isolated ground to size it to a specific value. Currently it is an on/off toggle and sized to match the ground wire.

Selective Coordination Graph: Fault Options
The fault labels are currently displayed automatically at the top of the selective coordination graphs.
Add an option to display the fault at the top (current functionality), at the bottom (current label would move to the top of the graph), or remove them.

Selective Coordination Graph: Set minimum time
Be able to set the minimum time for selective coordination graphs. Currently it is fixed at 0.01. We could add an option to set it at 0.1 or 0.01. Or add an option to set it at a specific value.
We are leaning toward implementing it as a 0.1 or 0.01 option. If you would like it as a custom value, indicate that in the comments.

Option to not round GRD CFM
DM currently rounds CFM's of GRD's to nearest 5 CFM. I request an option to not have any rounding applied.
