This program looks like exactly what I am looking for. our team is downloading the trial. looking to make the plan view panels, cables and the SLD all link together this looks to be it. Hopfeully get it to size cables according to code/vdrop as well (i see there is functionality for this). Arc flash looks interesting, not sure they have the same libraries as ETAP or SKM but definitely going to do some comparisons. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, it does work with custom families. In the model, we work with the families you are already using. In the single-line diagram, we provide default graphics but those can be customized or replaced to match your standards.
@@theelectricaldepartment your answer implies that you're not either one 😀 linking SLD with model/schedule is a great idea! your ElectroBIM seems useful for MEP design with Revit. however I think it's still far to be used in a real/big electrical power design project. your arc-flash calculation is not applicable at all.
@@anhngg6198 Oh I'm not arguing with any of your points. That's exactly what I use it for, MEP Design, so its perfect for that scenario. We're still using SKM for the main power calcs and drawing the rest of the SLD in CAD due to the need for double ended switchgears, substations, central DRUPS and campus MV loops. It's by no means a replacement for the full proper engineering work, but a great tool for assisting with the mundane bits of tracking all your panelboards, feeders, and breaker coordination downstream.
This is only good for small projects. Ive met with the group that created this with my company and gave them ideas for all the ways they can make it better. For large projects, we need one lines in the schematic phase months before we circuit in the model to make this add on work. Not worth it for the cost of each license. Also, it doesn’t work when you have multiple sheets for one lines.
Oh really? It seems like things have improved since you have met them then. You can make a single line diagrams when there isn’t a model yet and you don’t have to generate the entire single line on one sheet. You can select a portion of the tree and generate from there on down, so you can spread it across multiple sheets. Sounds like a great topic for the next video 😉
