CAD or BIM is the topic of the newest Electrical Building Design Show. In "Evaluating Electrical Platforms: CAD or BIM", David Robison talks about the differences and choices available between CAD and BIM in the electrical engineering community and how to get the most out of them.

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, November 12, 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.

We had a great time highlighting ElectroBIM during our appearance at this year's Autodesk University in San Diego.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to talk to us. It was a perfect opportunity to speak to many of our current users, while also providing us with the opportunity to meet several Revit users who aren't currently using ElectroBIM.

We are currently developing FireBIM, a fire alarm design software package specifically for Revit.

To learn more, visit our FireBIM page, and while you’re there, sign up to be notified about ongoing FireBIM progress.

Plan to attend our regular monthly online training webinar for ElectroBIM for Revit.

The training is held on the third Thursday of each month from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm Eastern / 10:30 am to 11:30 am Pacific.

Sign up to attend future trainings and see past recordings.

Upcoming monthly topics:

November 21, 2024: Single-Line Diagram Branch Circuit Devices
Learn how to insert branch circuit devices on your single-line diagram in Revit.

December 19, 2024: Single-Line Diagrams on Multiple Sheets
Learn how to insert your single-line diagram across multiple sheets.

Knowledge Base Updates

The following changes have been made to the knowledge base in the past month:

ElectroBIM

• "Dialog Box Does Not Appear When Running Commands". If you run a command and Revit loses focus and you can't see the dialog box, there is a method for making it visible.

Chatbot
Our new chatbots for ElectroBIM and Design Master Photometrics documentation have proven to be good additions to our support offerings. We encourage you to try it the next time you have a question outside of our support hours, or if you just want to try it out. Links to the chatbots can be found on the documentation sidebar.
