I am running into a 3D problem to where I don't see exterior receptacles with a cover box inside of the SoftPlan Library. In order to get the 3D look, I have been scaling down the Electrical Panel symbol to mimic an outside receptacle, but maybe SoftPlan can incorporate these symbols into the software. I have also not experimented with importing a Sketchup model and converting it to an electrical symbol, but maybe that is the best solution in the meantime. I like to go into heavy detail with my models (hence why I like to display the smallest of things...an exterior receptacle) because visuals are everything when I am discussing projects with clients that are unfamiliar with 2D drawings.

A suggestion has been made to add an exterior outlet to the as-shipped libraries.
