Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Mark numbering would generate warnings when multiple users are placing devices, fixtures at the same time in a shared model when the model is synced. Disabling marks saves the warning from being generated.

[@bradbb2005]

I would argue that disabling the sequential mark actually helps not designate something that needs a different designation. Sometimes during design you miss things that have values, here it forces you to make a conscious decision.

[@DavidRobisonDM]

That makes sense. I can see how getting rid of that warning would be a welcome change. Thanks for sharing your experience with marks.

[@DavidRobisonDM]

@@bradbb2005 That also makes sense as a benefit of disabling sequential marks. I love that I've gotten three different reasons for why they made that change. It sounds like the change benefits lots of different workflows, which is great.

Thanks for the summary, David. We are disappointed but not surprised by the lack of any new electrical specific features that will make a meaningful difference to our workflow. The don't increment mark feature is a bit baffling. If we used the mark parameter, we could easily reset it manually or with a dynamo script. The feature to roll up low voltage panel loads seems to me more like a bug fix than a feature. Electrobim by contrast continues to evolve and we are seeing concrete improvements in our accuracy and productivity as a result.
We might upgrade to 2025 but as usual this will depend on general feature improvements and not anything in the MEP world.

[@DavidRobisonDM]

The line between feature and bug can be a little blurry. I'm glad to hear our improvements on ElectroBIM are having an impact on your work.

Our mechanical team uses mark numbering for the equipment labels. For our electrical team, we mostly ignore them. Hopefully I can continue to ignore them.

[@DavidRobisonDM]

Interesting, thanks for your perspective on marks. Sounds like your should be able to continue to ignore them.
