E-INS. Schema 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.
‍

Here’s how it works

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.
‍

How You Benefit from using E-INS. Schema

• Schematic Generation Made Easy: No more placing every symbol manually - E-INS.Schema pulls data from your Revit circuits and creates professional schematics in just a few clicks.

• Boost Your Efficiency: By automating the repetitive work, E-INS.Schema frees you up to focus on real design challenges and get more done in less time.

• One-Click Schematic Generation: All the tools you need to generate schematics and stay aligned with BIM base IDS—organized in one easy-to-use interface.

• Error-Free Results: Automated logic reduces human error, helping your team deliver clearer schematics with consistent quality across the board.

• Flexibility in Your Hands: Customize templates, map your own parameters, and structure outputs to fit the way your team already works - without compromises.

• Integrates Smoothly with Revit: Designed to work seamlessly within your Revit environment - no extra plug-ins, no workarounds needed.
  ‍

On the technical side, it also ensures:

• Functionality:
  • Effortless schematic generation from Revit circuits.  
  • Single-phase and three-phase circuit support.  
  • Dynamic family loading based on number of phases.  
  • Adjustable spacing between schematic elements.  
  • User-defined parameter mapping
• ‍Compatibility: Our DIBS42 Ribbon is compatible with Revit version 2021 to 2024. We are committed to updateing it for the future version. ‍
• Family Requirements: Specific parameteres are required for families to work with the E-INS. Schema. plug-in. Default families are provided for a quick start, but you can leverage your own families as well. This tool is compatible with UOB. ‍
• Parameter Management: Save and load custom parameters for efficient reuse across projects. No need to re-enter the same data repeatedly.

Sequence Numbering

Smarter symbol organization in Revit

In complex MEP or electrical Revit models, symbol chaos can hit hard - and fast. When systems expand and elements multiply, keeping your numbering clean, logical, and traceable becomes critical.

Sequence Numbering is a Revit plugin designed to automate and standardize the way you number elements in your model. With it, you can assign values to one or two parameters (or even multiple numbers to a single one), using custom templates that fit your project’s logic.

It’s fast, flexible, and built to handle everything from single rack layouts to full-scale installations.

Here’s how it works

Key features at a glance

• Custom templates – Add prefixes, suffixes, separators, and panel/rack identifiers to fit your naming standards.

• Multiple input methods – Number elements manually, in batches, or sequentially along drawn lines.

• Parameter control – Choose which Revit parameter gets updated—no renaming things one by one.

• Preview before you commit – Check your format before applying it across the model.

• Smart filtering – Narrow down elements by category or search, making large projects easier to navigate.

Here’s an example of how to use Sequence Numbering in a typical Revit workflow:

1. Open the tool and fill out your template: ‍
   • Rack = PC1 ‍
   • Panel = A ‍
   • Separation symbol = "-" ‍
   • Suffix = "-EL" ‍
   • Number format = "01" ‍
   • Start = 1, End = 10 ‍
   • Parameter name = bestemming

2. Use the Manual Pick tool to select 5 elements in your model. Press ESC when done.

3. Click Run—your values are assigned immediately, following the format:
   PC1-A-01-EL, PC1-A-02-EL, … up to PC1-A-05-EL
   ‍

Want to number even faster? Use the Line tool to select elements along a drawn path, or filter by category to find only the elements you need.
‍

How you benefit from using Sequence Numbering

Projects only grow more complex over time and the more elements you have, the more risk you carry for errors, duplicate IDs, or missing references.

With Sequence Numbering, you don’t just label elements, but you build order into your models.

Here’s what you gain:

• Speed – No more manual entry or copy-paste renaming.

• Consistency – Every element follows your project’s format, down to the last digit.

• Flexibility – Whether you’re numbering panels, devices, or racks, the tool adapts.

• ‍Clarity – Your models stay readable, even at scale.

Auto Tag

Tagging model elements in Revit is a critical part of project documentation - but doing it manually across a large model? That’s a fast track to wasted hours and inconsistent results. The Auto Tag tool in DIBS42 Hive makes this process fast, structured, and scalable.

Whether you're tagging a handful of components or an entire model, Auto Tag helps you define which families to tag, select the correct tag types, and set the position, orientation, and display rules - all from a single, intuitive interface.

You choose what gets tagged, how it looks, and where it goes. The tool handles the rest.

How it works

1. Select what to tag
   Pick the Revit family (or family type) you want to tag. You can apply tags to one or all types within a family, or filter by category or selection.
2. Choose tag types and positioning
   Assign the tag family and type, and click on the positioning grid to define where the tags should be placed relative to the element. Multiple tags per element? No problem.
3. Control orientation and style
   Set tag orientation (horizontal or vertical), show or hide connector lines, and define rotation logic.
4. Run and review
   Click Run and Auto Tag will apply the tags based on your configuration—ensuring clean, readable, and consistent outputs across your model.

Why it matters

Manual tagging is time-consuming and error-prone, especially in large or complex projects where elements need to be annotated multiple times with different tags. Auto Tag eliminates that friction, helping your team work faster and with more clarity.

With complete control over what gets tagged and how it’s displayed, your documentation becomes easier to read, quicker to produce, and better aligned with project standards.

Key Features

• Auto-tag multiple elements based on family, type, or selection
• Apply several tags per element with defined placement
• Grid-based positioning for consistent tag alignment
• Tag orientation, connector lines, and rotation options
• Tag full models, categories, or current selections
• Compatible with all standard and custom tag families
