BuildingVision Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 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! Nicole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evolution Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Nicole, use a tall cabinet, resized to the width and depth you need, no toe kick, select crown mold for the top, set the openings to have one fixed panel (door) set sides and back to same as front.

glennw Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Place the outlet on a wall. Select it and Convert Selected To Symbol (on the Edit toolbar). You can now place it anywhere in the plan - it doesn't need to snap to any object. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
