Devices placed onto a ceiling face
When you place devices or outlets onto floor objects, be sure that you are
selecting the appropriate floor as a host. Often in projects, the architect
models a floor object to act as a placeholder to show a floor in section or
elevation views while the actual floor is being modeled in the structural
project file. Use the Visibility/Graphic Overrides settings to turn on the
appropriate floor object for hosting. This ensures that, if the floor object
is removed from the architectural model, your devices or outlets remain
hosted. Use the cursor tooltip or status bar to confirm that the correct floor
is displayed in your view, as shown in
