This tool helps automate the processes of assigning the parameters of the electrical panels, like name, SC rating, and more.

General Usage Instructions

  • Launch Autodesk® Revit® (2021-2026) and open your project.
  • Ensure you’re logged into your Autodesk account.
  • Go to the Add-Ins tab and click the "Electrical Panels Manager" icon.
  • Select electrical panels (e.g., panelboards) in the Revit model.
  • From the panels list on the left, choose which panel to edit. The parameters to edit are on the right.
  • Edit the desired panels all at once, then hit the save button.
  • Go to the properties panel or panel schedules to check that the values you entered are synchronized.

Known Issues

  • Parameters belonging to linked model elements are read-only and cannot be edited from the host model (this is a Revit API limitation).
  • When inspecting a linked model element, clicking Show in Revit selects the RevitLinkInstance rather than the individual element in Revit's Properties panel.
  • View navigation (double-click to open) is only available for host model views; linked model views cannot be opened.
  • Editing certain system-level or read-only Built-in parameters may fail silently; the status bar will report the failure count.
  • Global parameters and shared parameter definitions are displayed for reference only and are not directly editable through this tool.
  • The add-in requires an active internet connection at launch for entitlement verification. If the network is unavailable, the tool will not open.

Version History

Version Number Version Description

5.0.0

New Features Zero-Click Panel Detection No more selecting panels with your mouse. Open the tool and it automatically finds every electrical panel in your active view — whether it's a floor plan, section, or 3D view. Switch to whole-project mode to scan across all levels at once. Auto-Naming by Level Panels now get their names automatically based on the level they are placed on. Set your prefix, separator, and starting index once — the tool handles the rest, grouped and sequenced by floor reference. Auto-Rating (Mains & CB) CB rating and Mains are now calculated automatically from the load connected to each panel. Select multiple panels and calculate all of them in one click. No spreadsheet, no manual lookup, no mistakes. Cable Sizer — Now a Dedicated Tab The cable sizing calculator has been moved to its own independent tab, giving it more space, cleaner inputs, and a more focused workflow. Select a panel, enter the run length, and get a full IEC 60364-5-52 result instantly. Clipboard Confirmation A visual "Copied!" confirmation now appears whenever you copy a value — no more guessing whether it worked. Improvements Rebuilt on C# 12 The entire codebase has been refactored to C# 12, bringing better memory management, improved startup time, and significantly more stable behavior under large models. Stronger Input Validation Rating fields now catch invalid entries before they cause errors — with clear, immediate feedback instead of silent failures.

1.1.0

New features in this version: 1. Automatic selection of the panels from the opened view (2D/3D), i.e., no longer need to select anything by mouse. 2. Auto-Naming feature is added to automatically give your panels names based on the level at which they are referenced. 3. Auto-Rating feature is now alive to facilitate your calculation step. CB and mains ratings are now calculated based on the load connected to the panel. 4. Cable Sizing Feedback: Added color-coding (Blue/Orange) to indicate standard vs. non-standard ratings. 5. Clipboard: Added visual "Copied!" confirmation. Improvements: 1. Performance: Refactored codebase to C# 12 for better stability. 2. Validation: Enhanced input validation for rating fields.

1.0.0

This is the very beginner version of the Electrical Panels Manager that enables users to manually select but automatically edit the panels' parameters. The upcoming version will do both steps automatically.
