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.

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.

We need a way to link two family instances together so that when you update one of the instances it updates the other.

If there was a way to have the export of one line diagrams go to drafting views instead of populating external dwgs?

I would like to export from Revit to import into ComCheck similar to the AutoCAD version of Design Master Electrical

Be able to copy panels and other distribution from one project to another. The loads on the panel will be created as fixed loads in the new project.

Be able to draw loops between devices for low-voltage lines, for connecting items like sensors and power packs.

Add indoor point-by-point lighting calculations.

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.

Add a Schedule of all blocks used in the project. This could be used a Symbol Legend for the Project.

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.

A spreadsheet like table, similar to the fault calculations, that shows all the load calculation categories by panel, as they move to the final service calculation. We could then turn the load calculation footer off on the panel schedules and include this summary table in the drawings. It would also be great to figure out how the loads are adding up.

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.

implement Multi-Text search through out the menus.

So for example when searching through the Insert Receptacle menu and in my case we have several thousand pieces of equipment. if the equipment is called 'RX99S' instead of just allowing us to hit 'R' and starting us off at the beginning of the list of 'R' equipment allow us to type out 'RX99S' and design master go straight to the piece of equipment. this is a very simple change to the code in design master and would save tons of time on projects.

Be able to change voltage of a completed project for 208V to 240V and keep everything connected and circuited.

The Edit Multiple Pipes command needs to have the ability to change fixture units. Sometimes I forget to add fixture units to hot and cold water pipes I'm copying to other sink or shower locations and then I have to change each one individually or erase them and copy them again after I've added fixtures units to the first one to be copied. The current project I'm working on is a large university sports complex with a lot of locker rooms so you can imagine the number of showers, sinks and toilets, etc.

Convert panel schedules to use the AutoCAD table feature so they are more customizable.

I've given up on loop tickmarks for lighting loops (because of all the energy code relay and occupancy sensor requirements); but I still do tickmarks on power loops. It would be great to be able to more quickly toggle between displaying tickmarks on loops.
