07- Lighting

Please also consider following items:

  • concealed switches integrated into furniture

  • furniture lighting, for example in wardrobes

  • outdoor power outlets, for example on the terrace (floor and wall)

  • a wall-mounted charging station for electric vehicles

For electrical outlets and sockets, there is a parameter to offset them in elevation in front of the furniture. Since the furniture is in most cases 600–650 mm deep, I think it would be a good idea to set 700 mm as the default value in the families.

I think it would be useful to have a way to color-code different socket types in plan. In many projects, there are visible sockets that are design-relevant and more expensive, while sockets hidden behind furniture can be treated differently and are often much cheaper. I believe this could be handled with an instance parameter, which could then be used in a filter to apply different colors.

Great idea! I’m planning to implement this in the next update.

I’ll think about how best to implement this.
