Electric & data tracks

Post by mune72 »

I have already built the house model.

Also in this forum I found how to add the power plugs (with a custom design).

I would like to draw the tracks for the ethernet cables, thermostats, phone cables, TV and so on. It is 3D matter as the house has more then a floor.

I don't know how to achieve it, anybody can help me?

Thanks in advance

Have you tried the Create polylines button, in between the Create rooms button and the Create dimensions button?
Also available under the Plans option.

Let us know if it works for you. If not, maybe some one can come up with a better idea. [:)]

Create a level with the same elevation for each of your floors.
Use these to draw your cables and ducts.
You can hide them if you don't need them.

The Sweet Home 3D gallery's example 6 is full of different tubes. They are rather designed for the heater but it can help you.
