WALLY - Wall Plate Customizer v1.60 by ALittleSlow

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

A remix of TheNewHobbyist's popular WALLY - Wall Plate Customizer. Mainly I added an art deco style option.

With the exception of #2-4 and 3-tall arrangements of #5, all of the plug types are modular and be placed on the top, bottom, or centered on a generated wall plate. All of the ports (excluding the outlets and keystone jacks) are designed to accommodate DataPro.net™s panel-mount cables.
Sorry, it's still not working in Customizer; maybe something to do with the parameters.

Usage Notes
The plug types "Duplex Outlet", "Long_Toggle Switch", "Toggle Switch", "Rocker", "Keystone3" and "Keystone6" will all use the entire plate when selected in the top selected. The bottom selection is ignored in these cases.
"None" and "Blank" should not be considered equal in most cases. if "None" is selected for the bottom, of a plate the top selection will be centered on that plate. If "Blank" is selected that plug location will remain blank but the other selection will NOT move into a centered position. "None" and "Blank" do have the same effect when selected at the top.
Notes from TheNewHobbyist:
Most of the connectors used with this thing are panel mount connectors from
www.DataPro.net I can't vouch for their quality but they did have easy to
find dimensions for their products so I used them.
