Abstract
An automated wiring run generation plugin for a building computer-aided design ('CAD') program is disclosed. The plugin receives user-defined pathways within a model layout and identifies start and end points requiring connections, accessing a run schedule as needed. It evaluates possible routes by detecting pathway segments within a threshold distance that have an open, orthogonal path to equipment elements. The plugin then generates line segments connecting equipment to pathways and determines the shortest route for each start/end point pairing using a shortest path algorithm or individual segment calculations. A directed weighted graph can be used to optimize routing. The plugin then visually generates and displays the shortest wiring or conduit runs on the graphical user interface (“GUI”) based on user settings. This automation streamlines the wiring design process, reducing manual effort and minimizing errors while ensuring efficient cable routing within CAD and BIM environments.
