Everything you need to draw an installation and produce its dossier

A project is built in four steps. Each one changes only its own layer of the project, and the documents follow from the whole.

ES Schémas at step 1, Building.
  • Exact length typed on the keyboard, or sent by the laser distance meter
  • Snapping to wall ends, walls and alignments
  • A new floor is created by copying the level on screen, stairwells included
  • Rooms scanned with LiDAR are imported with their walls and openings
ES Schémas at step 2, Components.
  • Symbols snap to the nearest wall
  • A switch is linked to its lights, even from one floor to another
  • The earthing conductor is drawn from the earth electrode to the earth disconnector
ES Schémas at step 3, Boards.
  • References A, B, C… assigned and recalculated automatically
  • Sub-boards, and the layout of the modules on the DIN rail
  • Edit several outgoing circuits at once
  • Cable length taken from the layout plan
ES Schémas at step 4, Assignment.
  • The counter shows what is still without a circuit
  • On site: switch on a breaker, tap whatever lights up
  • Components controlled together change circuit together

PDF dossier

Sheets generated, never redrawn

Layout plans and single-line diagrams come straight from the project: change a circuit and the diagram follows. The PDF opens in the device’s viewer, ready to print, share or save.

  • Checks and calculation notes
  • Tertiary documents
  • Title block, signatures and logo
  • A4 or A3 landscape

Checks and calculations

RGIE checks, clause by clause

The checks follow Book 1 of the RGIE, the Belgian wiring regulations, for everything a project can describe. Each finding cites its clause and takes you to the item concerned on the plan.

  • “To fix” when the values entered prove a deviation; “To check” when information is missing.
  • Derogations according to the date the installation work started, and to the date of any appliance replaced later.
  • Calculations of load, current and voltage drop for every circuit.

See the RGIE checks at work

An aid to checking: it replaces neither a professional’s review nor the inspection by an approved inspection body.

On site

Made for the tablet in your hand

By finger on iPad and Android, by mouse and keyboard on Mac and Windows. Measurements and scans go straight into the plan.

Laser distance meter

A Bosch GLM or PLR with Bluetooth sends its measurements to the field you are filling in, or to the length of the last wall drawn. On Mac, iPad and Android.

Room scanning

Scan rooms with LiDAR using ES Schémas Mobile on iPhone: walls, openings and room names arrive on the iPad, with no internet connection.

ES Schémas Mobile

Offline

Every change is saved on the device straight away, with no “Save” button. No network? Just keep working.

Sync

Your projects on all your devices

Sign in with Google, Microsoft or an e-mail address: your projects move from PC to tablet a few seconds after each change.

  • Version history: go back to an earlier version without losing the later ones.
  • No conflict ever loses work: the other version is kept in a copy you can compare.
  • A private space per account: nobody else sees your projects.
  • .esschema archive: every project exports to a single, complete file.
