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:
1. Go to the component tool
2. Choose the first component icon ( 2 cubes)
3. Choose the second icon inside PlusSpec showing the electrical plug
4. Click the dropdown and choose an electrical item
5. In the detailed view you can change the tag/Layer name ( not recommended unless advanced user) & then click submit
6. 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
7. type in your ceiling height: this will place the electrical symbol on the floor and the electrical component at the height chosen.
8. Click submit
9. Click the Elect1 Scene to view TIP (use the "all" scene in the scene creator tool
)
