Electric has "pure layer nodes" which are ways to lay down geometry that is 
unrelated to the higher-order concept of nodes and arcs.  You can create a 
pure-layer node of Well to cover all of the irregular well geometries in 
your facet.  Even better, Electric has a command (under "Edit" somewhere) 
to automatically generate such well nodes.

Electric has a technology editor that can modify existing technologies as 
well as create entire new ones.  What it doesn't have is the ability to 
read any standard technology descriptions (such as Magic or Cadence 
technology files).
