Question
is it possible to run 6/3 wiring from service panel thru across attic and down inside exterior wall between framing next to a sliding door...wiring is for jacuzzi and wanted to run the shortest route...thanks

Answer
I'm not quite sure what you are asking.  There is a reqirement that requires metal protection of wire that are within reach of nails and screws.  The actual routing of an electric run is not a matter for code, typically the shortest distance possible.
