DHerb2014 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Question about how we can add and/or arrange current 3D objects in Electrical drop down menu? Attached file shows the default, and very limited 3D objects to select and use in the Electrical plans. My question is - how can we add more (say 15 or so) 3D objects to the drop down menu? That said, how can we arrange or delete some of the default 3D objects in the drop down menu? It would be great to be able to add our own "default" 3D objects such as Single Pole, Two Way, Three Way Switches; 6" Recessed Soffit Lights; Ceiling Fan; 220 Outlet; AFCI Outlet; Pendants; WP GFCI Outlet; Bathroom Ceiling Fan, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 You can't add or remove buttons from the electrical drop-down toolbar or menu. Only Chief can do that. You do have some control over what gets placed for these tools though. Take a look at your electrical defaults. You can assign whatever library objects you want to use for them. Keep in mind that each electrical tool can place one of several electrical defaults depending on where you click. For everything else, you can get it from the library when you need it. If it is something you need to place often, you could always create a custom library button for it.

DHerb2014 Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Thanks for the comments. I tried the Custom Library button, but it's only good for placing one object (e.g., AFCI outlet). How can a person remove and reconfigure the six basic objects in the electrical defaults child button? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
