Does anybody use SH3D for electrical planning?

[Thomas_H]

I'm wondering if some users use SH3D for there electrical planning.
Or are there other/better tools out there?

Would be great if we could share some experience here.

Thanks in advance.

Hi bdfd,

thanks for your hint. I wrote Fdpaffie an email.

received your mail bdfd

depends on witch drawing u mean Thomas_H ( 3d electro junction boxes )



Free to download for every one
plumbing
Electrical installation material
the picture shows random placed junction boxes




or schematic drawing

for the schematic drawing i used polylines and for the symbols i grated round and triangular shapes
(place walls in the preferd shape double click in the center and u grated a room put a picture or symbol on the room flore "remove walls" now export them to OBJ format and import them as furniture)

its a lot of work but it works

if u want to do it simpler u can use Microsoft Visio (it has all the schematic symbols u need for every kind of 2d drawing )
it comes with most newly installed pc.s that have Microsoft Office

i hope it helped a bit

Hi FDpaffie,

thank you very much I will give it a try.

At my office laptop I have MS Visio but MS Visio imports my existing DXF File with different layers to one layer.
Thats why I can't use it because there are all floors in one file.

In SH3D I rebuild our house from scratch.

Thanks for the hint.
I think the big advantage is to have everthing in one program.
