Installing ElectroBIM

This section describes how to install ElectroBIM.

System Requirements

Visit the System Requirements page to make sure you can use the software before installing.

If you are a current user installing an update to the software, follow the Updating ElectroBIM instructions.

1. Download and run the latest ElectroBIM installer.
   warning

   Close Revit before you run the installer.

2. After the installer has finished, open a project or family in Revit. You should see an ElectroBIM Design ribbon and an ElectroBIM Single-Line ribbon.

The first time you run the ElectroBIM installer, it will also download and install a cache of single-line diagram graphic families. This cache installation is optional; if you opt out, the cache will be generated as you use ElectroBIM in your projects. Visit the Updating Single-Line Graphic Family Definitions article in the knowledge base for more information.

The first time you run a command, you will be asked to install your license. You have three options:

• To begin a trial of the software, press the button.
  info

  The trial is fully featured and not time-limited. Some ElectroBIM outputs will randomly be replaced with ElectroBIM or -1 watermarks until a license is installed.

• To purchase a license, press the button.
• If you already have a license, press the button, enter your License ID and Activation Password in the fields provided, and press the button.
  tip

  If you do not know your license ID and password, visit the License Key Request page to have them emailed to you.
