FREDPIEPER Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I have drawn a 30 x 40 garage and wish to put electric outlets in the ceiling for the shop lights and garage openers. The Architect 2015 will not let me do it. Why? If I try from the standard view it places them in the floor with waterproof fixtures. If I use the floor camera and try to stick them on the ceiling it says I am not allowed to. Any work around? Thanks, Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlackore Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Plop an electrical outlet in the floor. Then change its options: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 As noted by Ray, Home Designer Architectural includes a ceiling mounted outlet in the library. Just place it directly from the library. For future reference, we do have a separate forum for Home Designer products called HomeTalk that you can find here: https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 BTW, Chief Architect also includes a ceiling mounted outlet in the library. In my opinion, placing it from the library is much easier then opening up a floor mounted one and changing it to ceiling mounted. If you do change a floor mounted one to ceiling mounted, then don't forget that you will also need to rotate the symbol around otherwise it will be facing into the ceiling.
