I have been pulling .skp files for various items, most notably lighting. I have been able to work with the issue of adding light, but wondering if there is a method to tie in the light/s with a circuit connection detail to a switch? I can do this with resident electrical items, but not .skp. Also, related to this. I want to show Decora switches in my plan, but the resident switches available in the library only have the option for 3 & 4 way switches with standard switches. Is there a way to edit the Decora switch to so that I can show the 3 way or 4 way identification while in the 2D plan. I have attached jpg. files that should help explain.

Thanks for your help. I was practicing with the separate file for the site plan. It ended up nice, so was hoping that I could easily transfer. After reading reply from David Potter, I'll take his advice repeat the steps inside the working plan.

I created a plot plan/terrain under a separate file. Is there a way to copy the plot plan and paste it into the my home design? Lot 21 Site Plan.plan.zip

Thanks to all for comments. The fix I employed worked, but will need to rebuild the interior walls and modify a portion of the exterior walls. The home is being built in Alabama, so frost depth is not the issue. What is, is me being new to this and the program. We had our home designed by a pro, but I've been taking the line drawings and converting them to this program for 3D purposes, material estimates and to make minor alterations. I suggested the architectural version for future work, since he was working with a program that provides the detail. This has been an on going learning process and hobby, but helpful to some of the detail for our new home.

If you look in 3D at the bottom of the slab/foundation, you'll see a very slight step. Also in floor plan on level 0, there is an "S" showing the location. It's so slight I didn't notice the problem until I started creating a patio at the back on the design on the lower level. May not be in the attached plan though. It's so slight, that I'll live with it assumong no easy fix. But knowing the cause may help me with future designs. Thanks!

Thanks - Uploaded and forgot to click attach. Should be included this post. 116 Brown Lane - Neil Home REV-RWP.plan.zip

Thanks for your quick reply. I have attached a zip file of my plan - hope someone can offer suggestions/solution. Don Neil Designer Pro 2016

Something I noticed well into my design; a stepped floor showed up when I was reviewing things in 3D mode. Not sure when or how this occurred, and the step looks to be just a few inches. I also do not see any effect in other views. How might have this have happened? How can I fix this with out effecting my design? Don Neil
