Elec Receptacle backwards

When I try to host a standard electrical receptacle from the US Imperial library on the walls in my project the symbol appears to come in backwards. Shouldn't the circle be against the wall with the two prongs sticking out?

The default symbols are always like that. If you want to switch it around, edit the receptacle family and rotate the symbol on its plan view. Remember that these symbols are always nested families, so, if you want to edit them, you have to open the receptacle family and then the symbol family, change it, and load it back into the receptacle and the receptacle back into the project.

Thanks for the quick reply! Out of curiosity is there a reason the standard family is like that? Why wouldn't it be made to conform to accepted graphic standards?

Not sure why it is like that. Here in Brazil the annotation standards are completely different anyway hahaha

Where are you that the standard is having the lines protrude out FROM the wall instead of in TO the wall? In my twenty-seven years of commercial and industrial construction experience, I have 99% of the time seen the symbols oriented the way Revit does them.

In Canada. I only have nine years of experience to your 27 but the electrical consultants I've worked with orient the circle toward the wall and the prongs away from it. Just one of those things I guess.
