Electrical Building Design Show

Revit 2026 introduces major changes to wire sizing, and they’re not where you think.

In this episode of the Electrical Building Design Show, we dive into the surprising updates, explore the new conductor and cable settings UI, and reveal what’s missing (and what’s finally possible).

If you work with Revit MEP, wire sizing, or electrical design workflows, you’ll want to hear this.

Bonus: Hear how ElectroBIM levels up wire sizing even further.

What does the lifecycle of a Revit version really look like in the wild?

Using anonymized data from ElectroBIM, our Revit add-in for electrical engineers, we’ve uncovered fascinating patterns in how Revit versions are adopted, and eventually phased out, across real-world projects.

In this podcast episode, we chart the adoption curve of each version from Revit 2020 through the newest 2026 release.

Which versions peaked in popularity? How long does it really take for a new version to become the industry standard? And when does a Revit version officially become “old”?

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.
