Update Electrical One-line Diagram symbols
Up-date Electrical One-line Diagram to show Existing, Demo, New, and Future out of the box. My suggestion is listed below but I am open to other suggestions.
• Existing - gray thin solid lines
• Demo - black dashed medium lines
• New - black solid medium lines
• Future - gray solid medium lines6 votes -
Custom Parameter Push for Panel Edit and Circuit Edit
This dovetails with another topic about circuit comments. I would like to see a function where panel edit has maybe 2 or 3 custom user params that get pushed onto the one-line diagram symbols similar to the way the ratings are pushed in. Preferably this would be mappable onto shared parameters as implemented recently with many of the other parameters. This would allow us to tag owner required values like "previous panel name" or ratings that DM does not natively support like KW/KVA ratings of generators and UPSs.
Additionally, being able to have a couple custom parameters in circuit edit…

Circuit Comments
Add comments to circuits in the Circuit Edit command. Transfer the comment value to the circuit and to the devices connected to the circuit.
This feature would allow additional information from a circuit to be scheduled on the devices. It would be similar to how DM currently pushes the breaker size to from the circuit to the device that can then be used in equipment schedules.

Custom voltage deop
We would like to know if you can set up custom voltage drop for feeder and branch circuit.

Make Link > Select from Model a separate button
When linking many items on large projects, the Link window can begin to slow down dramatically since it loads all the equipment in the project into the tree. It would be nice if we could use the Select from Model option without having to load the rest of the Link dialog box.

Batch link
Assign/Change link of multiple detail items based on matching panel name of 3D equipment. That way standard risers for certain building types can be reused more easily

Relink Detail Items copied to a new drafting view
Our risers are so large that we typically use multiple drafting views for each substation. When loads get refed from one substation to another, I need to cut and paste the transformers, the disconnects, and the panels to the second drafting view, then link all of them all over again. It would be nice if there was a re-link button I could use, where I just select all the items I have pasted then run the tool to re-link them all in one go.

reset
Would like it if we had the ability to reset all items we have overridden, even better if we could do it by category like wire size, breaker

Additional voltage drop power factor options
Ability to pick .9 and .95 for power factor in options for voltage drop calculations in addition to the two we have, .85 or Revit.

More flexible options for including room names in circuit descriptions
A few more options for circuit name based on space name please
• Don’t include space name
• Include space name and number
• Include space name1 vote -
Prompt to Load DM
Add a prompt before loading any DM information into a project. Would be useful when you do NOT want DM loaded in a specific Revit project.
At the project level, would save your response so that you are only prompted once.
At the user level, would have an option to disable the prompt so DM is automatically loaded in all projects like it currently is for customers who prefer that workflow.

Upsize wire based on circuit length
Upsize the wire based on voltage and length. Example is we often have a note to use #10's for 120V 20A circuit greater than 100ft in length and 277V 210A circuit greater than 150ft in length.

Auto update the feeder lengths on single line
when we move a panel/equipment, the feeders should not break, they should change their lengths as we move the panel connected to it, so that we don't have to refeed the whole thing again

Size Motor Disconnect using NEC 430.110
Add a feature to size and label motor disconnects.
NEC 430.110 calls for 115% of the full-load current rating of the motor.
We could also include an option to require the disconnect to be at least as large of the OCPD rating of the circuit.
Also an option for a specific size selected by the user.
And an option for a specific custom value if you want to indicate something such as "With unit" or "Not required".
Finally, a list of acceptable sizes to use for the disconnect. A default list of standard sizes would be included but you could…

printing of settings
It would be helpful to have a way of printing out the design master settings for a project to Q.C. and check. example would be wire sizes. it would also be nice to be able to save this to back check when something looks off or to compare with other projects.

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.

Set Selective Coordination Graph Voltage
Add an option to set the voltage that selective coordination graphs use for their display.
Currently the voltage is set based on the voltage of the majority of equipment displayed on the graph.
