Description

ZapSketch is an online tool designed specifically for electricians, electrical contractors, and estimators to facilitate the planning of electrical home runs. It allows users to import floor-plan PDFs, draw walls on a blank canvas, or start from a quick sketch, enabling them to place panels, junction boxes, and devices while routing circuits and raceways efficiently. As users modify their layouts, the application automatically measures run lengths and offers insights on preliminary conductor sizing, ampacity, voltage drop, and conduit fill based on the NEC 2023 standards. Users can also access circuit schedules and export their marked-up plan PDFs along with raceway pull schedules for purposes such as estimating, review, and transitioning to the field; however, some export options and unmarked reports necessitate a Pro subscription. Additionally, there are free standalone calculators available for voltage drop, wire sizing, and conduit fill. While ZapSketch serves as a valuable preliminary planning tool, it is essential to note that it should not replace thorough code reviews, engineering judgment, or the verification of actual project conditions. This tool enhances workflow efficiency and supports better project management for electrical professionals.
