Project Format (.gorkycad)

GorkyCAD uses an open, documented project format.

Format Structure

A .gorkycad file is a ZIP archive containing:

project.gorkycad
├── project.json      — project metadata, settings, standard
├── floorplan.json    — walls, rooms, dimensions
├── electrical.json   — outlets, switches, lights, boxes
├── schematic.json    — single-line diagram structure
├── panels.json       — panel configurations
├── cables.json       — cable routes and types
├── calculations.json — all calculation results
└── assets/           — embedded images, references

Compatibility

The format is versioned. GorkyCAD automatically migrates older project versions when opening.
