Does anyone know how I can change the default light that is generated in the room mode? 

[Yvon Gonthier]

Go in System Library, select Rooms>Room and click on one of the symbol (room name). That will open the full board that you can set your default lights, wall coverings, etc...

[Jason Bishop]

System Library>Rooms>click on any room>Edit symbol

 

This will open the window to All the rooms and their defaults.

 

 

EDIT: Yvon beat me to it.

Very cool.  Thank you Yvon and Jason.  I never thought of the library.  I was looking through all the system options trying to figure it out.

haha! Thanks Randy. Not too many folks notice this detail.

How about getting the light symbol to only show up in the Electrical tab and not the Drawing tab. Seems really backwards the way it is displayed on the drawing tab

Brent, by Electrical & Drawing tab I presume you mean Electrical & Drawing Mode.  If you do then create a layer named E-Lighting or whatever and edit the light fixture and use the common tab to change the layer while in Drawing Mode.  By placing this on that layer you can control what mode it is visible in by turning the layer on or off in each different Mode.  Hope this helps.

I agree Brent.  Makes no sense why the lights in Room Mode show up in other tabs.  While I like that they place it they need to be able to toggle on and off similar to the way that the room mode outlets do.  

[Brent Hyndman]

To clarify, this is a 2016 thread and the outlets were added to Rooms in 2018. 

 

Visibility of Electrical items in Drawing mode is a general setting that you can turn off in your System, Project or Drawing Options - Mode Visibilities-  Select Drawing Mode and uncheck 'Electrical Symbols'. 

[Tom Rogers]

Sorry Brent.  This started as a plain room mode question but morphed into this.  However I have tried that and the electrical symbol is unchecked but they are still visible.  To be fair this is a drawing that was imported into 2018 and I have not seen it happen yet on new projects

Send us a ticket and we can take a look. 

 

Thanks Tom.
