Hello,

I am searching for 3d models of electrical boxes and light switches.

Anybody knows where it is available?
Any drawings out there that is available?

Thanks

RE: 3D model of standard parts,

Maybe check the web site of the manufacturer. Sometimes they have them.
McMaster-Carr also has many of the things that they sell thru their catalogue as 3-D models. Maybe go thru their on-line catalogue and sell if you can find something.

RE: 3D model of standard parts,

You might be able to find some models at 3dcontentcentral.com - they'll likely be solidworks models, but since you can open solidworks parts directly in NX6, you might be just fine...

RE: 3D model of standard parts,

I find that this is often a good place to start:

However, I can't help but ask, have you looked at our Routing modules?  We have one for routing electrical conduit and it comes with a very comprehensive library of fittings and other items used to design conduit layouts and unlike the parts which you might find in a generic site like the one I referenced above, the NX included libraries are fully integrated and offer 'smart' capabilities when it comes to selecting and updating any routed design, be it piping, tubing, wire-harnessing, conduit, etc.
