I use AutoCAD Lt 2017 but need to start to show basic walls, was wondering if AutoCAD Architecture would allow me to create walls using the polysolid command ?. From this I could show a 3D view of where sockets, switches and the like are located visually rather than from a text note.

I don't see why not but aren't those objects shown better on a 2D electrical plan?

Another question.Doesn't the national electrical code more or less dictate some of that information such as how high up a switch or an outlet must be, spacing of outlets, distance from door jamb to switches, etc.?

We use standard heights for disabled use but rely on sub contractors for most other spacing's. We do state on some high level outlets a, from floor level height, 1.7Mt AFFL as an example.From my original question I downloaded a free trial of Architecture at home. The polysolid command seemed only to want to create a wall from scratch. I drew a quick polyline wall section in 2D but when I tried to then use the polysolid to create some height the cursor disappeared. Will keep at it though.

OK...did you look at the command line when you were using the POLYSOLID command and not notice the HEIGHT option?You can't see this "height" unless you are using one of the four standard isometric views.  Looking at a drawing from a top down view while using the POLYSOLID command will give you the impression you are drawing a set of 2D parallel lines.

Yes tried that, what I am actually trying to do is convert an existing wall outline in to a solid wall. From memory in Solid Works you can do this. We don't use SW where I currently work. So an AutoCAD option is what I am after. Thanks for your input, I will persevere.

If the wall outline is a closed polyline then use the Extrude command.  If it isn't then use the PressPull command.
