Very nice set of custom lights and recepts, Brenton! I've made a lot custom devices myself as an electrical engineer, and added a few "visual" touches to things like receptacles, but nothing quite as detailed and extensive as what you've done - I can sure appreciate how much time and "flexing" went into your families - much respect. As a commercial electrical designer, we are not as concerned with the "visual accuracy" of our families as you architects are, but I can see how this would be a huge asset to architects/interiors folks doing renderings. Also kudos to your team for the sloped ceiling adaption (that still shows the proper symbol in plan view!) and that multi-gang switch is very clever! Nice work all around! It's nice to see non-electrical designers actually using the electrical connections in your designs, although I know you don't use the loads and such - still nice to see.

Hi Brenton Jim here from Sierra Drafting and Design California love all the families I have received from you, cabinets and electrical. Excited to be part of your family Beta program.

Anay chance you can add European outlets? if not what would the workaround be?
