1. An automated process for the production of a circuited design in the context of building design, wherein the process comprises providing an electrical components design having a plurality of electrical components therein to a computer capable of receiving and processing same whereby the computer performs the automation:
- Identifying and determining the location of the electrical components within the electrical components design;
Grouping the electrical components;
Selecting the electrical components to be circuited and the order in which the selected electrical components are to be circuited;
Adding the electrical components to at least one circuit; and
Producing a circuited design.
