Cable lengths
Draw the cable routes and DINPanel calculates their lengths, including mounting heights and allowances. Have your own measurement? Enter it instead of the calculated figure.
The cable is not measured in a straight line across the middle of the room. DINPanel follows the wall route, including the changes you make yourself.
Project settings hold the room height, the route level and the allowances. Each point keeps its own mounting height, with lighting at the ceiling by default.
You can type a length in the circuit. It stays in force until you accept a recalculation after the route changes. Automatic calculation can also be switched off.
Every part comes from the plan or the project settings.
Route on the plan + Rise and drop to the mounting heights + Passages between floors + Allowances at the switchboard and at each end = Cable length
Walls, rooms and the switchboard symbol.
Sockets, switches and lights with their heights.
Shape a route only where it should run differently.
Cable lengths go to the material list and the quote.

The more accurate the plan, the more accurate the material list. The plan page shows how points and routes are drawn.
It measures the route drawn on the plan, adds the rise from the route level to the mounting height of each point, any passages between floors, and the allowances at the switchboard and at each cable end.
Then you type the cable lengths in the circuits. The material list and the quote use them in the same way.
No. A typed length stays until you accept the recalculation offered after a route change.
Yes. The defaults are 1 m at the switchboard and 0.4 m per cable end, with a 2.6 m room height. You can change them for each project.
