Short answer
Spatial AI tools aim to automate building system design such as electrical routing. Start here: prepare a coordinated model with equipment placed. Keep a person in the loop: Code compliance (NEC and local) is the engineer's responsibility.
The problem
Automate electrical and raceway routing in the model. This is a common, time-consuming task for a mep engineer.
What this workflow does
Spatial AI tools aim to automate building system design such as electrical routing.
How it works: Rules or specialist software perform the task. No AI agent is required.
Your checkpoint: Code compliance (NEC and local) is the engineer's responsibility.
Before you start
- Access to the named tool; confirm license, version and cost with the vendor.
- A small, non-confidential sample to try the workflow on first.
- A qualified person to review the output before it is used.
Tools and access
Follow the steps
- Prepare a coordinated model with equipment placed.
- Define routing rules and constraints.
- Run automated routing and review clashes.
- Engineer reviews and adjusts before documentation.

Expected output
Not published yet. Treat any output as a draft and check it against the source documents.
Check the result
- Every value, citation or quantity traces back to a source document.
- Missing information is marked as missing, not filled in.
Limits and recovery
- Code compliance (NEC and local) is the engineer's responsibility.
- Check your organization’s data policy before sharing project files with third-party tools.
Stop or switch when: The source cannot be verified, permissions are missing, or the result contains unsupported facts.
Frequently asked questions
How do I generate electrical and raceway routing options in the model?
Prepare a coordinated model with equipment placed. Define routing rules and constraints. Run automated routing and review clashes. The full step list is above.
Does this use an AI agent or regular software?
It is labeled Conventional automation: Rules or specialist software perform the task. No AI agent is required.
What tools do I need?
Augmenta. Confirm license, version and cost with the vendor, and try it on a small non-confidential sample first.
Can I use the output without checking it?
No. Code compliance (NEC and local) is the engineer's responsibility.
