Electrical issues

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm attempting to add electrical objects to my project and running into several issues. I have spent over 40 minutes searching the ArchiCAD "help" and searching Archicad - TALK topics.

1. Anyone know of a good tutorial relating to electrical?

2. I'm trying to create an electrical layer combination. Some of the layer names of existing default layers are not intuitive. Is there a list anywhere of what each layer name represents? Like A-NPLT-HTSP or L-PLNT for a couple examples.

3. Is there a fast effective way to add electrical fixtures to the center of each room? Right now I draw two drafting lines from corner to corner and drop the fixture at their intersection point and then delete the lines. This is definitely not an efficient method for placing lighting and takes forever.

and by some strange reason "boingy" also works in spanish though I prefer "boing".
BTW I too work alone.
