PlanElec knowledge base
From your first project through automatic planning to a reviewable document set.
Getting started: from project to first export
Build a PlanElec project step by step: project details, floor plan, rooms, electrical devices, distribution board, diagram, and export.
Using and reviewing automatic planning
Use PlanElec proposals for devices, switch chains, cable routes, circuits, phases, and the distribution board without skipping technical review.
Exporting documents and assembling a working dossier
See which PDFs PlanElec creates, which outputs are available or in pilot, and what to review before sharing or inspection.
What does PlanElec's AREI self-check verify?
The complete list of rules PlanElec checks automatically — and an equally explicit list of what the self-check does not assess.
Import and calibrate a floor plan
Use an image, PDF or DXF drawing as a scale-accurate reference, align the layer and draw the editable floor plan over it.
Place and connect electrical symbols
Place devices at the right location, create shared cover frames and connect electrical symbols to the appropriate topology.
Edit switch chains, circuits and cable routes
Keep lighting control, circuit assignment and the physical cable path separate, and use the appropriate tool for each step.
Plan KNX in PlanElec and document it for the electrical inspection
From the KNX project mode through push buttons, bus power supply and actuator channels to an inspection-ready export — including every finding that blocks the final submission.
