Thanks for quick feedback @LawB10.
I'm only doing my own DIY renovation project, so can't justify/afford purchasing Premier version. Perhaps I could persuade CA to add a UK-style outlet to Core content library for HD Pro to make the product more appealing to UK market. I suppose I should raise a support case.

I live in England (in the UK) and would like to change the appearance of the electrical outlet object when mounted on a wall to look like a UK style socket (here is an example: https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=6da5bdf4afa840d37145387788e4fc89)
I'm a new user and have been digging into the documentation/training and have found how I can import a 3D symbol, but using this approach the object behaves as a generic Fixture. What I would really like to do is change the appearance of the default outlet so that I get the benefits of using the built-in electrical tools (e.g. auto-place outlets).
Is there a way to do this with standard HD functionality?
Many thanks,
Dan

Thanks @BrownTiger !
I see that the object you sent is treated as an electrical object, however it seems to behave more like a switch than an outlet (the attached picture shows the cursor changing to switch symbol when placing a new UK outlet and a UK outlet previously placed on the wall automatically at switch height). I also noticed that the symbol in the plan view seems to be reverse orientation from the built-in standard outlet (i.e. the lines on the symbol face the room instead of the wall).
I tried making these tweaks myself, but do not see options to do this.
Are you able to make these tweaks or tell me how to do it myself?
Cheers!
