How do I get electrical symbols to place on a straight half wall?

[DefinedDesign]

I’m using Chief Architect Premier X16. I used the Straight Half-Wall tool to create a 42” high wall in the middle of a room (a pony wall behind a kitchen sink), but I can’t get any electrical outlets to place on it. When I try to add an outlet, it won’t snap to the wall and doesn’t show in elevation either.

I tried changing the wall type to Interior-4 and checked “Pony Wall” in the Railing Specification, but the Elevation of Lower Wall Top stays locked, and the wall is still treated like a railing.

What’s the best way to:
    1.    Get electrical onto a 42” half wall
    2.    Have the wall appear correctly in elevation and framing views
    3.    Ensure material takeoffs are accurate?

Is there a better way to draw this kind of wall for kitchen island or peninsula situations?

Thanks in advance!

Works fine for me so it might be something weird going on in your plan. 

 

Here are some things to check for:

- wall height is tall enough.

- default outlet height is low enough.

- try placing the outlet in a camera view instead of a plan view (or vice versa).

- make the wall a normal interior wall, place the outlet, then change it into a half wall (solid railing).

- other objects are in the way and the outlet is snapping to them instead?  could move them out of the way or hide them, place the outlet, and then put them back.

 

If all else fails, post the plan.
