    Angry Trouble making architectural block

    I'm using Home Designer Pro 10. I'm having trouble making this symbol an architecural block. What am I not doing?

    Usually when you create an architectural block, you're blocking several items (like cabinets) together so you can move them as a single unit, but your screenshot just looks like a recessed light and the number 3. Text isn't an architectural object, so you can't create an architectural block with it.

    A common source is Trimble 3-D warehouse for symbols.

    Such symbols will not act exactly like those provided by Home Designer but can be placed, seen in both plan and camera views. The main difference is how they fail to act-interact with default symbols and the "wiring tool" which is specific to Home Designer based electrical symbols.
