Shared Parameters

ElectroBIM adds shared parameters to distribution equipment and branch circuits in Revit. They can be used like any other shared parameters. Some of them are used in the default schedules created by the Schedules commands.

tip

See the Making Changes: Don't Modify the Shared Parameters and Panel Schedules sections for more information about using our shared parameters.

ElectroBIM shared parameters are all prefixed with DME:

•  Text parameters begin with DMET. Their parameter Data Type ▾ is set to Text.

•  Numeric parameters begin with DMEN. These parameters use appropriate units where possible; otherwise, their parameter Data Type ▾ is set to Number.

•  Yes/no parameters begin with DMEB. Their parameter Data Type ▾ is set to Yes/No.

•  Revit duplicate parameters begin with DMER. These parameters are used with single-line diagram graphics and will reflect the value of the corresponding Revit built-in parameter for the corresponding device in the model. These parameters are not meant to be used in schedules or in the model.
  For example, on a panel that has the Revit Panel Name parameter set to MDP-1, the corresponding single-line diagram graphic for the panel will display MDP-1 for the DMER_Panel_Name shared parameter.

Shared Parameter Files

Shared parameter files that contain ElectroBIM shared parameters are located where ElectroBIM 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, DesignMasterElectricalRT2024.txt should be used with Revit 2024.

The shared parameters added to distribution equipment related to voltage drop calculations.

Numeric Parameters

•  DMEN_VoltageDrop_Feeder The cumulative voltage drop on the feeder to the distribution equipment.

  If the distribution equipment has two feeders, this value is the largest of the two voltage drops.

•  DMEN_VoltageDrop_Feeder1 The voltage drop on feeder 1 to the distribution equipment.

•  DMEN_VoltageDrop_Feeder2 The voltage drop on feeder 2 to the distribution equipment.

•  DMEN_VoltageDrop_MaxCircuit The largest voltage drop on all of the branch circuits on the distribution equipment.

•  DMEN_VoltageDrop_MaxCircuit_Length The length of the branch circuit with the largest voltage drop as a length parameter.

•  DMEN_VoltageDrop_Total The total voltage drop from the utility to the branch circuit devices. It is calculated as the sum of the largest branch circuit voltage drop and the larger of the two feeder voltage drops.

•  DMEN_VoltageDrop_Transformer The voltage drop through the transformer if the distribution equipment is a transformer.

Text Parameters

•  DMET_VoltageDrop_Display A Yes or No value that indicates whether the distribution equipment should be displayed in the voltage drop schedule.

  The default voltage drop schedule includes this parameter as a hidden column. Any distribution equipment with the value set to No is not included in the schedule. Pieces of electrical equipment with their Part Type ▾ set to Equipment Switch are automatically set to No so they are not displayed in the schedule.

•  DMET_VoltageDrop_Feeder The cumulative voltage drop on the feeder to the distribution equipment.

  If the distribution equipment has two feeders, this value is the largest of the two voltage drops.

  Displays a warning if this value exceeds 2% or 3%, depending upon the Feeder voltage drop percentage limit option in the Project Options command.

•  DMET_VoltageDrop_Feeder_NoWarnings The cumulative voltage drop on the feeder to the distribution equipment.

  If the distribution equipment has two feeders, this value is the largest of the two voltage drops.

  Does not display a warning if this value exceeds a certain percentage.

•  DMET_VoltageDrop_Feeder1 The non-cumulative voltage drop on feeder 1 to the distribution equipment.

•  DMET_VoltageDrop_Feeder2 The non-cumulative voltage drop on feeder 2 to the distribution equipment.

•  DMET_VoltageDrop_MaxCircuit The largest voltage drop on all of the branch circuits on the distribution equipment.

  Displays a warning if this value exceeds 3%.

•  DMET_VoltageDrop_MaxCircuit_ConductorWireSize The number of parallel runs and the size of the conductor wires of the branch circuit with the largest voltage drop.

•  DMET_VoltageDrop_MaxCircuit_ConductorWireSizeOnly The size of the conductor wires of the branch circuit with the largest voltage drop.

•  DMET_VoltageDrop_MaxCircuit_Length_ft The length of the branch circuit with the largest voltage drop in feet.

•  DMET_VoltageDrop_MaxCircuit_Length_m The length of the branch circuit with the largest voltage drop in meters.

•  DMET_VoltageDrop_MaxCircuit_NoWarnings The largest voltage drop on all of the branch circuits on the distribution equipment.

  Does not display a warning if this value exceeds 3%.

•  DMET_VoltageDrop_MaxCircuit_Number The circuit number of the branch circuit with the largest voltage drop.

•  DMET_VoltageDrop_MaxCircuit_WireCallout The callout of the branch circuit with the largest voltage drop. The callout lists the conduit size and all of the wire sizes, separated by a comma and space.

•  DMET_VoltageDrop_MaxCircuit_WireCalloutCompact The callout of the branch circuit with the largest voltage drop. The callout lists the conduit size and all of the wire sizes, separated by a comma.

•  DMET_VoltageDrop_Total The total voltage drop from the utility to the branch circuit devices. It is calculated as the sum of the largest branch circuit voltage drop and the larger of the two feeder voltage drops.

  Displays a warning if this value exceeds 5%.

•  DMET_VoltageDrop_Total_NoWarnings The total voltage drop from the utility to the branch circuit devices. It is calculated as the sum of the largest branch circuit voltage drop and the larger of the two feeder voltage drops.

  Does not display a warning if this value exceeds 5%.

•  DMET_VoltageDrop_Transformer The voltage drop through the transformer if the distribution equipment is a transformer.
