Revit 2026 quietly removed voltage drop calculations, an essential feature for electrical engineers.

Why did Autodesk make this change, and what does it mean for your BIM workflow?

This episode of the Electrical Building Design Show explores the implications, the limitations of Revit’s past implementation, and how ElectroBIM fills the gap with purpose-built tools for accurate voltage drop, wire sizing, and full electrical design integration.

Fire alarm design is often overlooked in BIM discussions, but presents a major opportunity for improved efficiency and collaboration. By integrating the 3D model, riser diagram, calculations, and operations matrix into a workflow, designers can ensure every change updates automatically across the system.

In this episode of the Electrical Building Design Show, we look at how integrating the 3D model, riser diagram, calculations, and operations matrix into a workflow, designers can ensure every change updates automatically across the system.

The next episode will be released on May 20th.
