Add Equipment Items to Fault Current and Voltage Drop schedules.
Add mechanical and elevator equipment to the fault current calculations. Similar to DM Electrical CAD. We get the requirement for 5kA SCCR equipment from mechanical and elevator and we need to know what those values are.

We added fault on branch circuits and devices in the last release.
Select your equipment, go to properties, and you'll see the fault as a shared parameter there.
Go to the circuit, go to properties, and you'll see the fault as a shared parameter there, too.
Now the trick is getting that into a format from Revit that you are happy with. Our built-in schedules aren't anything special. They are standard Revit schedules using the "Electrical Equipment" category. Your mechanical and elevators are likely defined as a different category.
One solution would be to create a separate schedule based on the other category that displays the DM fault values. You could also display it in the panel schedule for the circuit.
You could also change the category of the devices so they are also electrical equipment. That will display them in the standard DM schedule but make them a little trickier to deal with (they are more like a panel than a receptacle at that point).

Update after watching video for Beta- hoping to see equipment items in the fault current and voltage drop schedules.
