WireSketch - Electric Planner

Design your electrical layout on a photo of your actual wall: sockets, switches, lights, EV charger. Hand your electrician a plan they can price. Scan, safety zones, panels, solar.

HOW IT WORKS

Photo your wall, start on a blank canvas, or scan the room. Set dimensions in cm and your region's zones and heights appear. Place fixtures. Export to PDF, PNG or CSV, as an annotated photo or a clean IEC 60617 schematic.

SCAN YOUR ROOM (Pro)

Pan a LiDAR iPhone or iPad once around the room. Every wall becomes a measured canvas with doors and windows at true size and position. Review the measurements before the plan is created.

ROOM SKETCH SHARING

Export a project as a calibrated Room Sketch: photo plus scale, in an open format PipeSketch reads, so plumbing starts from the same room.

HOMES: GROUP ROOMS UNDER ONE ROOF

Group rooms under a House, Flat, Garage or Commercial property. GPS resolves the electrical region; every room shares one code.

CIRCUIT PANELS (Pro)

Lay out every breaker with label, amps and curve. The wand fills the panel from your fixtures: appliances get dedicated circuits, EV chargers the right amperage. Live warnings flag overloads. Main and sub panels, plus a Panel Report PDF.

THE RENOVATION BRIEF (Pro)

The full PDF for your electrician: cover, wall sketches, materials list, and a "Questions for my electrician" checklist.

50+ FIXTURE TYPES

Sockets, switches, dimmers, lights, Cat6/TV outlets, floor heating, kitchen appliances, outdoor sockets, EV chargers, smoke detectors, RCD/GFCI, distribution boards.

SAFETY ZONES BY REGION

Four standards, named by the standard, not the region: DIN 18015 with VDE 0100 (DE, a start for AT and NL), BS 7671 (UK, 18th edition, no amendment modeled), NEC base (US planning reference, not jurisdiction compliant), AS/NZS 3000 (AU, NZ). Wet rooms apply IEC 60364 Zone 0/1/2. Outdoor: IP65/IP67 and 60 cm burial.

Limits we don't hide. France (NF C 15-100), Spain, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada aren't separate selectors. Layout planning only. NEC state amendments and AFCI rules are out of scope. A licensed electrician must verify before installation.

ROOM TYPES AND TEMPLATES (Pro)

Dry room, wet room, kitchen and outdoor, each with heights and installation rules. 17 layouts, home to commercial.

CABLE AND MATERIAL ESTIMATE

Per circuit cable type and size (NYM-J for EU, Twin & Earth for UK, NM-B for US, TPS for AUS), total length, conduit, plus material and labor costs.

KNOWLEDGE BASE

36 cited entries on standards, symbols and formulas. Browse the library and read the core articles free. The full set and four converters (Watts to Amps, AWG to mm², voltage drop, solar yield) are Pro.

SOLAR PLANNER (separate purchase)

Plan your solar system from a satellite snapshot: panel packing, yearly yield, inverter and battery sizing.

ELECTRICIAN MODE (Business)

Turn a planned property into a branded customer offer with your logo, letterhead, and materials and labor priced from the plan. Business includes everything in Pro.
