Placing Outlets Independent of Wall, Cabinet, Ceiling or Floor

I have created a column out of Polyline solids and moldings.  Is there any way to get an outlet to place into this surface?  If there is not a way, what are your suggestions on what I do?  It is a dummy column framed out that surrounds a steel post, there is plenty of room for an outlet to be placed within the open interior space.  How do I place the outlet without there being a wall or a cabinet in this location?  Please see the attached image.  The red arrow points to where I would like to place an outlet.

 

Thank you for your help!

Make the column using the cabinet tool.  You just have to define the front of the cabinet and check the back and sides to match front.

 

FWIW, I generally do not use PSolids except to create a Symbol.  With X11 you can actually select your PSolids and Moldings and convert them to a Symbol - which if you specify it's a Cabinet will then allow electrical outlets to be attached.
