Very Basic Electrical Symbols

I have finished my structural plan and now I need to do an electrical plan so I can get bids. I have googled, followed threads in this forum and I can find more advanced stuff but no basic. I just needs lights, switches, receptacles, and a wiring connector tool.

Is SH3D not setup for this? Other suggestions? I used to have a home arc tool years ago that was very simple to use to do this, but no more. Any links or tips would be appreciated.

Re: Very Basic Electrical Symbols

Maybe you could try the 2D symbols contributed by Dorin proposed at this page, and draw wires with polylines creation tool.

Re: Very Basic Electrical Symbols

Yep, it still doesn't have the typical symbols. I guess I am coming to the conclusion that SH3D is not the right software program to do electrical diagrams. Any suggestions on another tool?

Re: Very Basic Electrical Symbols

Hi, I find that SH3D is home design software and it is great for what it is designed to do. I use it as a hobby and it is great to try different builds.
However, I find that it is too cumbersome to try and complete a wiring schematic for a building using SH3D. Instead, though I place some items e.g airconditioning, I complete all the wiring design for a building using an electrical CAD program. A google search will turn up free programs which can be tried and can be used in association with a build.
