hi Henry, 
 Electrical catalog items will be automatically added once you add the symbol in the symbol manager. 
 When you add the symbol in symbol manager, ensure you have selected the correct IFC class for that particular symbol. 
 Once you insert the symbol in the model using any of the electrical symbol placement command, you will notice that the symbol is added in the Catalog Editor to the respective catalog type based on the IFC class. 
 Cheers. 
 RJ.

Hi Henry, 
 Are you referring to the GB dataset's Symbol Library? If so, that would be C:\ProgramData\Bentley\AECOsimBuildingDesigner V8i Ss6\WorkSpace\BuildingDatasets\Dataset_GB\symLibs\010\bescells.cel However, they're regular 2D and 3D cells, not Compound Cells.
