The latest Electrical Building Design Show, Revit 2025: Usage & Adoption, is now available. In this episode, David Robison looks at potential Revit 2025 usage by looking back at the usage and trends from the analysis of prior versions.

As of this publication, all episodes are available to view on the Electrical Building Design Show Playlist. If there are any you've missed, please go back through the playlist and catch whatever you would like to watch.

The next episode will premiere on Tuesday, April 16, so be sure to visit the Design Master YouTube channel and subscribe for notifications of new releases.

For those who prefer audio podcasts instead, there’s a version of the show in that format also. It’s carried on all the major podcast channels (Spotify, Apple, Google, Amazon, etc.), and can be found by searching for the show by name.

There's still time to vote for Design Master ElectroBIM for the Consulting-Specifying Engineer 2024 Product of the Year in the software category.

The voting deadline is April 12th, and we encourage all our ElectroBIM users who are CSE subscribers to go online and vote.

As always, we thank you for your continued use and support of our products!

According to LinkedIn, their mission is simple: connect the world's professionals to make them more productive and successful. We can say the same things about our LinkedIn page for the world's electrical engineering professionals. 

It's important to stay connected, and we use LinkedIn as one of our primary social media channels as we communicate with other electrical professionals just like you. Take a moment to visit our profile and follow us to become part of our community of professionals.

Wouldn't it be helpful to connect with other electrical professionals around the country and discuss topics of interest in the industry?

We host a monthly Electrical Mastermind meeting for just that reason! It's a great opportunity to speak with like-minded individuals, and perhaps pick up some new insights, tips, and news that you might otherwise miss.

The Mastermind is held via Zoom and is held on the 2nd Thursday of each month at 1:30pm Eastern / 10:30am Pacific.

Links to join the meeting and set reminders are available on our website.

We recently migrated the Design Master Photometrics knowledge base fully into our documentation platform.

This was done for several reasons, but the highlight for our Photometrics users is that the knowledge base now has all the same features and benefits as the user manual and tutorial. Additionally, it's now possible to search the Design Master documentation and knowledge base simultaneously.

Take a moment to check it out; we'd love any feedback you want to offer.
