One-wire canvas
Build the electrical hierarchy that drives validation, plan placement, panel layout, tally, and export.
The one-wire canvas is where you describe the electrical structure of the installation. It is the source for circuits, endpoints, protections, panel relationships, and much of the data that appears elsewhere.
What You Create Here
| Object | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Panels | Define distribution boards and supply relationships. |
| Protections | Represent breakers, RCDs, fuses, and other protective devices. |
| Circuits | Group endpoints and carry cable/protection metadata. |
| Endpoints | Represent outlets, lights, switches, appliances, and other final points. |
| Wires | Carry visible wiring relationships and editable electrical metadata. |
| Notes and frames | Improve readability without changing electrical topology. |
Canvas Concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Supply frame | Overview of the sources, devices, earthing, and one or two busbars that supply a main panel. |
| One-wire tools | Actions for adding and changing the electrical structure. |
Typical Workflow
- Add or select a panel.
- Add protections and circuits below it.
- Add endpoints from the library or add-element picker.
- Use drag and drop or context actions to move, duplicate, or reorganize objects.
- Select objects or wires and edit details in properties.
- Use quick placer to place endpoints on the plan.
Focus screenshots on circuit detail
The reproducible screenshot set includes a landscape one-wire detail capture focused on the first circuits. Use that asset for docs and lessons when the full canvas is too broad.
