Changing electrical outlet default

[capitaldesigns]

When I place a 110 outlet into the plan from the menu bar it comes in as a GFCI. This is correct for bathrooms & kitchens but not

for bedrooms, living rooms, etc. Is there a way to change the menu default outlet to a standard 110 outlet for every room except

bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms and garages ?

Yes Plan Defaults> Electrical> General Electrical>Outlet -110V is normally just a standard Duplex or you could make it decorator duplex.

Thanks. I see that the standard 110 outlet was showing as a GFCI outlet. I made the change and it now works correctly.

 

I am still not getting the correct outlets placed in the garage and laundry room when using the automatic placement feature.

I California GFCI outlets are also required  in garages and laundry rooms. The automatic placement feature places standard

outlets in those 2 rooms. Is there a way to change this so it places GFCI outlets 

 

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,   The software is not quite that user friendly such that you can just redefine a specific room type.  However there are preset room functions and you can assign them to a room type.  So redefine your Laundry and Garage to be a Bath room function and you are all set.

And the garage floor gets a nice tile finish as a bonus.  
 

Change room type back to garage after.

Or just place your GFCI outlets directly from the library.  If you need to do this all the time, then customize your toolbars and use the Place Library Object tool with the GFCI assigned to it.

I was not suggesting to change the room type Gene.  There may be some other issues that result from my suggested method but floor tiles are not one of them !
