Design with clarity.
What it is
Pulse Fire is the first Pulse module — a clear control-center view for fire alarm system design inside Revit. It helps you understand what you've built: how devices are organized, where structure is missing, and what needs attention — without replacing the actual design work you do in Revit.
What Pulse Fire does today
- Custom panel and loop component setup: Define how your system is organized — panels, loops, and key components — so Pulse reflects the way you actually design and review projects.
- System diagram visualization: See the system as a readable diagram that makes structure and relationships obvious at a glance, helping you review faster and catch gaps early.
- Sub-element linking: Link related parts of the system — such as PSU → input/output module or door lock → output module — so the design reads like a connected whole, making review and troubleshooting far more intuitive.
- System metrics: Keep important system signals visible in one place — counts, limits, and health indicators — so you can validate decisions while you work.
- Revit focus + highlight: Click from Pulse and quickly focus the corresponding elements in Revit with temporary highlights and a one-click reset.
- Configurable to your project standards: Key fields like Panel, Loop, Address, device type, current draw, and id are configurable — not hardcoded.
- Safe project storage: Your settings and module data are stored with the project, so your configuration stays consistent across sessions.
What we're implementing next
- Richer system understanding: Expand beyond Panel/Loop into Zones and additional hierarchy where it makes sense for real projects.
- A smarter topology canvas: Evolve from a tree-style view into a more visual system canvas: stable panel/loop backbone, device clusters, clearer warning and capacity overlays.
- Better review workflow: Faster ways to filter warnings, isolate problem areas, and validate changes after revisions.
- Live voltage drop calculations: Instantly see how design changes impact electrical performance, so you can refine layouts with confidence instead of checking everything at the end.
- Battery size calculations: Get clear guidance on battery sizing needs based on your system configuration, making compliance-oriented checks easier to manage.
- AI prompt generation: Generate structured prompts and checklists from your current system state — useful for documentation, review workflows, and turning system insight into actionable next steps.
- Controlled refinement inside Pulse: More actions that help you maintain consistency by updating mapped values safely, with clear visibility into impact.
- Documentation outputs (later phase): Project-ready summaries and reports that make coordination and sign-off easier.
