How to place exterior light fixtures on P-Solid

Is it only possible to place exterior light fixtures on exterior wall types, or can I place them somehow on other objects such as p-solids or soffits etc...?

They don't seem to want to snap to anything but exterior walls. 

 

I'm trying to place an exterior wall fixture on a brick column that I made out of a p-solid.  

Front porch stuff.

Try these 2 things...

 

Either add the symbol to your user library, Open Symbol while it is in the library, change the y offset to zero, and under the Options tab change it to Floor Mounted.  Now you can use it anywhere you want...

 

OR...place a small section of room divider alongside your p-solid and uncheck "Invisible Wall". 

 

Those are a couple options that I think should work for you.

Nevermind, use a soffit. 

 

Is that the "proper" way?

 

I wouldn't do it that way, but whatever works for you.  In addition to the options I mentioned above, you can also simply use a cabinet for your column (depending on the design of course).  In X9 those fixtures will automatically attach to cabinets.
