Introducing CodeVault Electrical

Why conduit first

Drawing conduit in Revit is slow, careful work in 3D. Revit gives you conduit, fittings and a place to put them; the route itself is yours to find, segment by segment, around ducts, beams and pipes that usually live in someone else's linked model.

And it doesn't stay drawn. Electrical is often modelled after mechanical and plumbing, so conduit takes the space that's left, and every design change that moves a duct sends someone back to redraw the runs around it.

CodeVault Electrical does the routing. You pick the devices; it finds a route, draws it, and asks before keeping it.

How it works in Revit

It adds a CodeVault Electrical tab to the ribbon. Everything starts from there.

• Route A→B: pick two devices, or a device and an open conduit end.
• Connect Devices: select several, and they're linked as a chain or as a tree.
• The route is drawn and highlighted first. Add it as one undo step, or cancel and the model is left as it was.
• Settings: what routes keep clear of and what they may pass through, clearance, conduit type and how runs are linked, in one window.

Works with the model you have

• Your families. Plenty of receptacle, switch and light families have no conduit connector at all; routes still reach them, and any end that couldn't be joined is named so you can finish it.
• Your conduit. New runs continue the type of the conduit you picked and use sizes from the project's own list.
• Everyone else's models. Routes keep clear of what's in linked models too, checked against their real geometry before you see the suggestion.

Built for a firm, not just a desk

• Settings can be managed centrally. People see them, read-only, and an administrator can switch the add-in off for everyone.
• Installs per user or per machine, for Revit 2025 and 2026.
• If a linked model isn't loaded or a workset is closed, it stops and says so, rather than route against half a building.
• Every piece of conduit it adds is marked with the route it came from.
• Collect diagnostics puts logs and settings in one file for support, without reading or changing the model.

What comes next

Drops from devices to the nearest cable tray. After that, more electrical tools, each in its own panel on the same tab.
