6.2.1 Electric Outlet
This process can be used to cut an electric outlet at any position with ease. It can be a box or round, with a hood or without also clips - even only on one side if needed.

How to place an outlet
Currently an outlet can only be placed on a “normal” log (not on a panel log).
Warning
WARNING: The start of the cutting is the radius of the log. So make sure that the diameter of the log is set correct. Otherwise there is a possibility of a crash.
Best way to place an electric outlet:
- Switch to Ortho mode
- Switch to Wireframe view
- Look at the log from the side
- Add an outlet and set the parent face of the outlet to 180 degrees
- Move the outlet only in the Z-Axis (blue) into the log until the hood is to your liking
- Look from the top
- Move the outlet in the X-Axis (red) to the desired position
