E-INS. Shema 2.0

Simplify your electrical
installation scheme

As the first ever developed tool within the DIBS42 HIVE plugin(ex. DIBS42 Revit Ribbon), E-INS Schema transforms the
way you work with electrical installation schematics. This plugin combines precision, efficiency, and user-friendliness
to make your daily work easier. Since the plugin is free, so are the tools that go with

E-INS. Schema offers a range of features designed to standardize your workflow even further

Smart Family Loading

E-INS. Schema automatically loads the appropriate families based on the type of circuit you’re working with, eliminating manual selection and saving you valuable time.

Customizable Spacing

Control the distance between elements in your schematics for optimal clarity and organization. Ensure your schematics are accurate and easy to interpret for yourself and your colleagues.

User-Defined Parameters

Integrate your custom parameters into the schematics for a more detailed representation of your design. This allows you to capture project-specific information and details, creating schematics that are truly adapted to your needs.
