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?
Bus Node
Tap Node
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?
