dwellingPS

Introduction

If you are an architect or an engineer who frequently works on electrical projects in Autodesk® Revit®, you must be familiar with the challenges of creating panel schedules. The process can be time-consuming and complicated, often requiring the creation of electrical power circuits. However, dwellingPS, a powerful plugin for Revit, aims to simplify this task by offering an efficient and user-friendly solution.

Unleashing the Power of dwellingPS

dwellingPS is an innovative Revit plugin that enables users to draw and calculate panel schedules for 120/240 V (3 wires) dwelling units without the need for creating electrical power circuits. This plugin adheres to the standard method and optional method outlined in the NFPA 70® standard, ensuring accurate and reliable results.

One of the standout features of dwellingPS is its flexibility when it comes to panelboard configuration. With a graphical representation of two columns circuits across, this plugin supports up to 84 poles panelboard. It offers a range of manufactured number of poles such as 6, 18, 24, 30, 42, 54, 66, or 84. This versatility allows users to select the appropriate value based on the total number of poles of the circuits, resulting in precise panel schedules.

The dwelligPS Advantage

A major advantage of using dwellingPS is that it eliminates the need for Revit's panel schedule templates. Instead, this plugin utilizes generic annotation families for the drawing of panel schedules. This not only streamlines the workflow but also provides a consistent and user-friendly interface for users.

Moreover, dwellingPS integrates seamlessly with the NFPA 70® standard, ensuring that all the necessary data, including wire size, ground wire size, breaker rating, and conduit diameter, are accurately calculated and displayed. By adhering to these standards, users can have confidence in the reliability of their panel schedules.

Enhancing Efficiency and Collaboration

dwellingPS offers an alternative workflow that can significantly enhance efficiency and collaboration in electrical projects within Revit. The plugin allows users to save data in TXT files for each panel board, creating a convenient and easily accessible database for different projects. This feature not only saves time but also promotes consistency and accuracy across projects.

Furthermore, dwellingPS provides an intuitive and user-friendly interface, making it accessible to both experienced Revit users and beginners. Its straightforward functionalities and clear instructions ensure that even those new to panel schedules can easily navigate and utilize the plugin effectively.

Conclusion

dwellingPS is a game-changer for electrical projects in Autodesk® Revit®. With its ability to draw and calculate panel schedules without the creation of electrical power circuits, this plugin offers a streamlined and efficient solution for architects and engineers. Its adherence to the NFPA 70® standard, flexible panelboard configuration, and user-friendly interface make it a must-try for anyone working on electrical projects in Revit. Say goodbye to the complexities and time-consuming nature of traditional methods, and embrace the power of dwellingPS for simplified and accurate panel schedules.
