    Sorry. Applicable regulations would be US / Missouri regs.

    First CAD project I've ever attempted. Drawing up my own house to assist
    with planning some remodeling projects. Just looking for ideas/examples so
    maybe I can learn the proper way as I go.

    Thanks for the observation.

    Might be better to go to your local Public Library and take a look at there books and draw you self as set of blocks or there may be appropriate one's on, http://cben.net/

    You might find your local Building Official to be of considerable help. Many
    jurisdictions publish guidelines and lists of requirements, and some even
    include sample drawings to clarify the requirements. After all, these are
    ultimately the people you need to please with whatever plans you come up
    with.

    drawings symbols and things without knowing what you are drawing could be
    dangerous.

    What code are you required to use.
    International Residential code?
    Which year?
    International building code?
    Which year?

    In your position, I wouldn't do anything more than indicate where you
    want fixtures, outlets, and switches to be. The electrician will get the
    permit and be responsible for wiring gages and routing, panel box, all that.
