Electrical Outlets
How do I place an outlet on a garage ceiling to be used for a garage door opener?

You cannot place an outlet in the ceiling. All regular outlets must be placed on a wall, with one exception: if you look in the electrical library, you will find a 110 floor outlet. I just use this on the plan view, then label it as the ceiling outlet for the door opener. Of course, in a camera view, it will show up on the floor.

You can get other electric symbols in the middle of rooms by putting a wall there, then the symbol, then change wall to invisible. You have to have invisible walls unchecked in show items. Great for floating in air switches.

And I always thought that a UFO was an Unidentified Flying Object.

Another handy use of invisible walls/electric is for kitchen islands, if you want them to have electric outlets you drag a wall into a cabinet, place the outlet then make the wall invisible, lined up properly they show great in plan and 3-Ds.
