There was an error rendering this rich post.

I'm using the software to calculate distance of conduit and electrical wire, if I have a 3/4" conduit(polylength) with 3(black, white, green) wires(polylength) in the inside, how can I make a group measurement that will have all 4 different measurement to be added to each wire color group, and Conduit lengths?

I work for an electrical contractor that specializes in pre-fabrication within the commercial construction industry. Our typical contract runs around $1-5mil. I'm only saying this to give context to workload that our workflow is being built around. I don't know what scale you will be working with to know if our way would in any way benefit you. With that said…

I have created a conduit run tag that contains a text box, eliptical, and a polylength. These tags are first placed on a single-line diagram and then all relevant information is manually added to the tags. Junction boxes are placed and color-coded (by panel or system type) polylength lines are drawn to show propose routing. Estimated additional length is input in the Added Length column (for termination, etc.) and then the tag and polylength are grouped together.

The summary csv is added to an excel document we made to calculate the wire length for each conduit run. This is then sent to our pre-fab department, where the wire is cut and labeled for each run.

I suppose the short answer to your question is there are many ways to get there. Our CKT# columns, could be replaced with needed wire colors, and then the total length could apply to each applicable wire. You could also just have something like a Phase Qty column that would imply the wires needed.

I hope that helped some.
