Features

Standard Symbology

Outlets, switches, lighting, and panels inserted according to engineering standards.

40 Integrated Commands

Drafting, editing, wiring, single-line diagrams, and load schedules in a single plugin.

Smart Wiring

Steiner Tree algorithm with automatic propagation of conductors per circuit.

Phase Balancing

LPT algorithm with local search reaching only 0.7% of unbalance.

Load Schedule

Automatic generation with power, voltage, breaker, and wiring columns.

Single-line Diagram

Automatically generated with correct breaker symbology and polarity.

Multi-circuit

Shared conduits with real accumulation of conductors and shared ground.

Fully Customizable

Scales, fonts, colors, voltages, and minimum wire gauges adjustable per project.

3D Visualization EXPERIMENTAL

BIM display of electrical installations in wireframe or realistic rendering (in development).

⚠ Plugin in development. Automatic calculation and dimensioning functions are suggestions and require supervision by a responsible Engineer. We are not responsible for incorrect information or inappropriate use of the generated results.

Automatically Generated Results

Single-line diagram, load schedule, and infrastructure produced by the plugin in a real project — without manual intervention.

Automatically generated Single-line Diagram by ARGOPOWER

Single-line Diagram

10 circuits with breakers, wiring, phases, and currents — generated with a single command.

Automatically generated Load Schedule by ARGOPOWER

Load Schedule

Complete table with power, voltage, current, breaker, and wiring per circuit.

Cable tray drafting by ARGOPOWER

Smart Cable Trays

Drafting and sizing with automatic indications for curves, junctions, connections, and conduit merging.

3D BIM visualization of electrical infrastructure

3D BIM Visualization

Generation of 3D models (wireframe or solid realistic) of conduits and infrastructure directly in the CAD environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ARGOPOWER a free alternative to Revit MEP?

Yes. If you already work with AutoCAD, ARGOPOWER adds complete electrical design automation without needing to migrate to Revit MEP. It offers symbology placement, sizing, smart wiring, cable trays, and technical documentation generation directly within AutoCAD. AutoCAD is lighter and more familiar for most electrical designers.

Is ARGOPOWER a free alternative to AltoQi Builder (Lumine)?

Yes. ARGOPOWER is a 100% free plugin for AutoCAD that offers similar features to AltoQi Builder (formerly Lumine), including automatic load schedule generation, single-line diagrams, smart wiring, and phase balancing. Unlike AltoQi Builder which charges annual subscriptions of over $600, ARGOPOWER is completely free.

Which AutoCAD versions are compatible?

ARGOPOWER is compatible with AutoCAD 2025 and 2026 (Full version). The LT version is not supported as it does not allow loading .NET plugins. You also need .NET 8 and Visual Studio 2022 (Community edition is sufficient) for compilation.

Can ARGOPOWER replace PRO-Elétrica or CADDPROJ?

ARGOPOWER offers similar functionality to PRO-Elétrica and CADDPROJ, including symbology placement, automatic wiring, load schedules, and single-line diagrams. The main difference is that ARGOPOWER is completely free, while those solutions require annual licenses.

Is ARGOPOWER safe to use on real projects?

ARGOPOWER is in Beta phase and already has validated features for symbology, wiring, load schedules, and single-line diagrams. However, automatic sizing functions are still in testing and require supervision by a responsible Engineer. Always use legitimate software — never use cracked versions of any software, as it's illegal and can compromise your files and project security.

Will ARGOPOWER include lighting calculation?

Yes. Lighting calculation is currently being implemented and will allow loading ICF luminaire files and viewing the point grid directly in AutoCAD — something that even AltoQi Builder doesn't currently offer. We are also developing 3D plant visualization and multi-line diagrams.
