If the device family you are using is not face hosted, pressing the spacebar
will rotate the device in 90-degree increments parallel to the plane of the

shows two systems outlets hosted by a wall. Both outlets were placed the

placement. Notice that the annotation symbol of the outlet on the right is
not visible in plan view.
