code.it Rack Planner
Web-based planning tool for 10" and 19" racks with a visual editor, component library, plugin system, bill of materials generation, and optional cable-length estimation.
The goal is to make rack planning available online for technicians, integrators, and planners who need a practical tool without having to use heavyweight CAD software for everyday layout work.
Core goals
- Visual planning interface for
10"and19"racks - Drag-and-drop placement and repositioning of components
- Extensible component system via plugins
- Automatic bill of materials generation
- Optional cable-length calculation based on installed positions
- Internet-ready architecture for multi-user access

Product direction
The first release should optimize for speed, clarity, and usability:
- 2D rack planning before full 3D support
- structured component metadata before open CAD ingestion
- reliable BOM and validation before advanced collaboration features
This keeps the first public version realistic while leaving room for manufacturer catalogs, better exports, and richer cable planning later.
