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?
