Adding installations to a plan will enable you to print out installation plans for the tradespeople and allow for accurate placements of the visible sockets and switches for the customer to see.
How to add a installation object with option to attach a symbol to it
- In your Alternative, click on the Room definition mode icon
- Click on a surface on which the installation object should be placed (for example, a wall)
- Click on the Add installation object icon:
- In the Select object window, for visible installations, click to highlight your choice and click OK.
- Set the distance from wall and wall placement of the object, click OK after each selection. Note: Distance from Left/Right is measured as if you are standing in front of the wall. The placement can be altered later by dragging and dropping the installation object.
- The Select object window for installation symbols will now automatically open, click and select the relevant symbol to be attached to the object and click OK. Note: If you don't want a symbol linked to the 3D object, click Cancel.
- Once placed, to make any other adjustments to the parameters:
in Room definition mode, access the installation via Room surfaces/objects list on the right hand side. You will need to expand the arrow symbol next to the wall listed to see all objects attached to that wall. Right-click on the object and select Installation properties, here you can customise many attributes of the installation object.
Note: In the Plan window below, the installation object on the right has a symbol linked to the object. If you link a symbol to the installation object, Winner will remember which one you selected and suggest the same symbol the next time you add that installation object.
