Build box selections

Hi, i am putting together a circuit with a dc motor but unable to find a symbol for dc motors in the build box. Can you please help?

Lots of items are missing. I usually draw a box and add a label. To model a dc motor functionally would require a whole lot of information and gets very mechanical. A crude model would be voltage source for back emf and a resistor for winding resistance, but this applies at only one speed.

Hi, mikerogerswsm, Received with thanks, still believe the Build Box should be upgraded. There are occasions when the diagram has to be given to someone with less electronics knowledge. Thanks again
