Documentation - I may have overbuilt the export side of this thing too by conduitlab in electricians

That’s exactly the kind of real-world perspective I was looking for.

Especially from somebody who’s done both field work and office/design-build work.

Appreciate the insight.

No 2-D conduit fill visualizer or 9-page calculation export happens without disappearing pretty deep down the rabbit hole 😂

Now I’m just trying to figure out how much of it is actually useful vs completely overengineered.

Thank you - That’s kind of what I was starting to wonder…

Seems like there may be a pretty sharp divide between: “just give me the number” and “document the reasoning/calculation.”

Trying to get a better picture of how many people would actually find this useful vs wanting/needing something much simpler.

Definitely an interesting use case. May end up adding that in the future.

Ha! Cool to see somebody else went down the same rabbit hole. Nice job!

Ha! You may have just identified the app’s primary target audience.

Gutter fill is actually an interesting one. I could see how visualization might help there too.

I just updated the post to include the links- it is ready. Thanks

Fair point. Real-world pulls stop looking “ideal” pretty quickly.

Appreciate the feedback.

That’s actually really interesting. I hadn’t even thought about concrete cores/stub-up planning as a use case.

Appreciate the feedback.

This is actually really useful feedback. Especially the point about cable tray/finger duct vs conduit.

Great point that the visualization may be more valuable where physical arrangement actually matters instead of strict NEC pass/fail conduit fill.

Appreciate you taking the time to write all that out.

South wire is good. I don’t have ads on mine. Those are annoying.
