AP7C outdoors sort of :)
I'm working on some new construction and I'm planning my network cable runs. I wanted to have an access point outside. I was wondering if there would be any issues putting an APC7 under the awning below near where the red dot is located?

I live in the northwest of the Pacific Northwest USA. We have rainy but relatively mild winters and mild summers. So I have AP’s “outdoors” in areas protected from the rain and direct sun, but not in air conditioned space (no heat or air conditioning). The AP’s work great to cover over 2.5 acres of land.
So I think it depends on if where you live is within the operating temperature envelope the AP7C (or AP7) is designed for. -
The point above is exactly right. If you are in an area where you can stay within the operating temperature guidelines in the specifications document, you should be fine.
Specifically 23f - 104f and under 95% humidity.

I live in the east bay of San Francisco. Its normally pretty dry here. Though we do have a rainy season. But I wouldn't imagine it's more humid than the PNW. The summers here are pretty mild outside of direct sunlight. Under the awning it should be good.
I wonder do you folks have any thoughts on how far to place it from the edge?
