Schedule Fields / Shared Parameters

Design Master Electrical RT adds shared parameters to distribution equipment and branch circuits in Revit. These are standard shared parameters and can be used like any other shared parameters. The add-in uses some of them in the default schedules that are created.

To make them easy to find, all of the shared parameters are prefixed with DME.

Shared parameters starting with DMET are text values.

Shared parameters starting with DMEN are numeric values. These parameters use appropriate units where possible.

Shared parameters starting with DMEB are yes/no values.

Panel Shared Parameters: Shared parameters for distribution equipment.

Transformer Shared Parameters: Shared parameters for transformers.

Feeder Shared Parameters: Shared parameters related to feeders.

Branch Circuit Device Shared Parameters: Shared parameters added to branch circuit devices.

Circuit Shared Parameters: Shared parameters added to circuits.

Arc-Flash Shared Parameters: Shared parameters related to arc-flash calculations.

Fault Shared Parameters: Shared parameters related to fault calculations.

Voltage Drop Shared Parameters: Shared parameters related to voltage drop calculations.

Shared Parameter Files

Shared parameter files that contain Design Master shared parameters are located where Design Master Electrical RT is installed. The default install location is C:\Program Files\Design Master Software\Electrical RT.

The name of each file corresponds to its intended Revit version. For example, DesignMasterElectricalRT2021.txt should be used with Revit 2021.
