Features of PowerCad-PNL
One of the key features of PowerCad-PNL is its live 2D interface that gives you a visual representation of the electrical system layout in your Revit MEP model. Unconnected panelboards are displayed, and you have the ability to rename them for better organization. The plugin also includes a function that helps you locate panelboards within your model by selecting them in the view where they are visible.
PowerCad-PNL goes a step further by providing information on the cable length between boards and the load on each board directly in the 2D interface. This feature allows you to make informed decisions about the placement and distribution of panelboards in your project.
