If I click on the fly out there, you'll also notice that it'll recalculate wire sizes for you, but we want the Circuit Builder. But we'll come back to that in a second, just hit escape a couple of times, make sure you come out of any commands, just roll back on the wheel a little bit, we're running out of space on our drawing at the moment. So I'm going to go to the Circuit Builder here and I'm going to add the circuit to the bottom of the left-hand three phase ladder. So I click on Circuit Builder here, it updates everything in the project first, and there's some built-in circuits that you can use. These are all parametric modeling circuits, so I pick what I want, so I'm going to go for a three phase power feed, horizontal single feed, that one…
