Estimated reading: 1 minute 40 views

The Electrical Tab provides all the essential tools needed to plan and visualize electrical elements within your floor design. It allows you to easily add receptacles, switches, phone outlets, thermostats, and smoke detectors by simply dragging them onto walls. Most components are automatically placed at a default elevation, which can be adjusted as needed, making the process simple and beginner-friendly without requiring advanced electrical knowledge. The Switch Connector tool further enhances planning by visually linking switches to the lights or devices they control, improving clarity and documentation.

In addition to basic electrical planning, the Electrical Tab includes tools for adding lighting and smart features. You can place interior fixture lights, exterior flood lights, ceiling fans, and adjust their styles and properties to preview realistic lighting effects. The tab also supports modern home planning with features like flat-screen televisions, security cameras, and home automation touch panels. Together, these tools help create a fully functional, well-documented, and visually accurate electrical layout for both residential and smart home designs.
