Hi Team
Is there some guidance/advice on best options to produce Electrical Layout Plans - showing Ceiling Fans, Power Points, Switching, Smoke Detectors etc
Maybe there is a quck and easy way and also a more 3D to 2D Layout Plan Option - Demos for both would be great
Thanks Dave. I will make a tutorial when I get a chance. It would be best if you looked at the Tutorial model it has an example in it (See the image below)
In Short, to create an electrical layout follow these instructions:
- Go to the component tool :component-tool:
- Choose the first component icon ( 2 cubes)
- Choose the second icon inside PlusSpec showing the electrical plug
- Click the dropdown and choose an electrical item
- In the detailed view you can change the tag/Layer name ( not recommended unless advanced user) & then click submit
- Click in the model space inside Sketchup and place the component where desired. NOTE; you should be in the “Elect1” or “Elect 2” scene or click see all and use a section cut
- type in your ceiling height: this will place the electrical symbol on the floor and the electrical component at the height chosen.
- Click submit
- Click the Elect1 Scene to view TIP (use the “all” scene in the scene creator tool :scene-gen: )
Below is a screenshot of the electrical layout that is inside the free tutorial model in PlusSpec, PlusArchitec or PlusDeisgnBuild
