June's Electrical Building Design Show topic covers one of Revit's electrical features that received a major change in Revit 2026. In "What Happened to Voltage Drop in Revit 2026?", David Robison looks at this change to Revit voltage drop, explores the rationale for its removal, and provides advice on how to continue now that it is no longer a native feature.

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, July 1st, 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're pleased to announce that ElectroBIM 2.2 has won the 2025 Product of the Year Gold Award in the Software Category from Consulting-Specifying Engineer. We would very much like to thank all of our customers for your support and votes!

We asked you all to vote, and you clearly came through for us... We certainly appreciate it!

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

Just a quick little update on FireBIM to keep our faithful readers abreast of the latest progress. Work is proceeding very well on our Revit fire alarm design software, and we are getting close to having a beta ready to release.

If you've not already signed up to be notified regarding our latest upcoming Revit add-in, we hope you'll take a moment to do so now.

See our FireBIM page for more information. 

After successfully attending and exhibiting at AU in 2024, Design Master will again be on-site for this year's Autodesk University in Nashville, September 16th - 18th!

Like last year, we'll be showing off our ElectroBIM electrical add-in for Revit and highlighting its various features that enhance Revit designs.

We're also planning to introduce attendees to our latest product, FireBIM - The Key to Revit Fire Alarm Design. If you're coming to Autodesk University this year, you should definitely plan to stop by and see us.

We'll be providing more information, including our booth number, in the coming months.

Knowledge Base

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

ElectroBIM

• Modeling Disconnect and Equipment Connections: There are different methods for modeling circuits for which a disconnect is circuited to mechanical equipment, each with its own use case and limitations.

Online Training

The monthly live training is taking a break for the summer. We'll be starting it back up again in September.

During this short break, you can catch up on all of our past training recordings, located here.
