Stacked Electrical Symbols in Plan

[JKEdmo]

Good morning,

 

I have an electrical outlet and light fixture placed above each other in elevation just perfect:

 

 

 

But, in plan they overlap:

 

 

Is there a workaround for this graphical conflict?

 

I suppose I'd like to be able to move the outlet's 2D symbol to the side and add a leader without affecting its 3D symbol location.

 

Thanks again,

 

Jim

OK, I think I figured it out.  I edited the 2D CAD symbol (moved it down 24") for the single instance only.

 

I'm curious if this is a good method or if people have a better solution?

 

Thanks, Jim

I think that works.  I would probably change that to "GFCI Below" though just to make it a bit more clear.

Thank you.

You might also want to display the %height offset% in the label of the fixtures.

Thanks Joe.  For most part, I usually leave it up to the GC.  (Builder's permit set).
