Lighting "Connect Electrical" Question

[JKEdmo]

Good morning,

 

Maybe a nit-pick, but when I wire up my sconce to a light switch, the auto-wiring goes to the face of the wall sconce globe and not to center of the base, which I would prefer.  So, I wind up manually adjusting the arc segment.

 

My question is what controls/defines the snap points of the electrical wiring tool?  Is this something defined in the fixture block?

 

Default:

 

 

My preference:

 

 

 

Thanks again,

 

Jim

Anybody?  Any thoughts on this?

 

Thanks, Jim

I don't think there's anything to say.  I think Chief just likes to automatically snap to the center of the object's 2D Block on the face furthest from the wall.  The only thing I can think of is to change your 2D Block to something completely (or at least nearly) flat before using the Connect Electrical tool.  Then change the Block back after the fact.

Thank you.  I was trying to understand how the tool behaves, and this helps.
