Drawing circuits in the electrical layout

Anonymous

Is it possible to draw circuits in Archicad? I've placed all the lights, switches and electrical appliances in my plan, but don't know how to connect them with a circuit.

Well if you're not using MEP Add In, then why don't you use simple Polylines?

Or draw them using the morph tool and have them shown in the 3D window?

Thanks for your responses. I am going to use the MEP add in since I can obviously also use it on other projects further down the line.

Cadimage's Electrical Tool will do this and update circuits whenever you move switches or fittings, automatically adjust switch symbol for multiple circuits, and so much more.

I had a library Electrical14 which was very useful. It created 2D electrical symbols on plan with objects on elevations. Lost the library in hard drive crash back-up not up to date disaster, does anyone know if it is still available / have a copy?
