I'm totally new to Chief Architect and got it primarily to do an electrical plan for a modestly complicated project. Unfortunately, it seems the set of electrical symbols is limited. I need
quad outlets
multi-gang boxes (2,3,4 and sometimes 5),
quad and duplex outlets in ceilings, inside cabinets, ...,
240V in the ceiling,
Lutron switch keypads,
differentiate between low and line voltage lights,
depict under cabinets and toe kick lights
a way to depict hardwire terminations (e.g., run 240v to in-floor heating)
a modest variety of devices (e.g., bathroom fan, range hood, ...) as elements of the electrical layout
I get that a few of these things are "special" but multi-gang, floor and ceiling mount, ... are pretty darn common I'd think. So, I must be doing or looking at this wrong and missing something. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Note, I did search around and found some hacks for some of the issues (e.g., multi-gang boxes). Also, there appear to be libraries with some of these devices but it's unclear how they would show up in the 2D view (e.g., what symbol shows up for a Timer Switch?). I mostly need something an electrician can look at and understand without a mess of annotations.
Note as well that I don't really care what it all "looks like" (i.e., not after any rendering effects and 3D), just looking to define and track the electrical layout in 2D such that someone can walk in a room and look at the "map" and see what's what. Suggestions?
