Frequently Asked Questions¶
FAQ's
- General
- Is THRUX compatible with Revit?
- How do I export my drawings to AutoCAD?
- How do I invite someone else to my project?
- I’m working in the One-Line. How do I create equipment?
- I’m not seeing everything on my Riser. I created equipment in the One-Line. How come it doesn’t show up?
- I’ve created a Riser, but I’m starting to run out of space. Is there any way to shift everything upwards? If I move the floor will it update the elevations? Will it affect my lengths and voltage drop calculations?
- Is there a way to create groups of equipment?
- Is there a way to create a single feed for multiple motors or elevators?
- I’ve created a network, but I forgot to add a distribution board, or transfer switch, or some type of intermediate node. How can I add this without deleting what I have?
- How do I create a bus duct?
- How do I connect a transfer switch?
- I’ve created my distribution network, but I haven’t assigned any Rooms yet. Is there a way to move my Equipment into Rooms?
- I have an existing building which I would like to model. Is it appropriate to use THRUX? How would I start? What’s the fastest way to do that?
- I’ve turned Design Assistance off and manually changed feeder sizes. Is there a way to recalculate a circuit’s code-minimum requirements?
- How do I see what’s included in each update?
- Architectural
- Do I need to create the Architectural Elements or do I need to use the Floor Plans Workspace?
- I’m working in the Floor Plans. How do I create my columns and floors?
- Is there a way to move my equipment in one Room to another location?
- I’m trying to enter decimal values into my floor heights. Why am I getting an error?
- Electrical Calculations
- What is Load Capacity?
- Is there a way to manually override a load?
- What is % Design Spare Capacity?
- What is Net Load?
- How do I enter the available SCC from the Utility?
- How is the Length of a Bus Duct Determined?
- How do bus duct voltage drop calculations work?
- I know the area or square footage of a space. How do I model that as a load?
- How do residential load calculations work?
- How do I model a tap?
- How do I Diversify Loads?
- Is there a way to implement a conditional constraint for sizing Equipment of loads greater than a specific amperage to require copper over aluminum?
