  1. Alaskan_Son that was very easy!...and it's scalable - thank you!!!....here's what it looks like :) 

    Now if there is a way to make that panelling section without the joints (as it would be in real life - like they do at the factory) that would be a miracle.

    Great day I learned something new :)

  2. Hello CA gurus :)

    I cannot figure out how to get door panels on the BOTTOM of a cabinet - see .jpeg of where I am and what I'm trying to accomplish.  The cabinet dbx box only allows panels on sides of cabinets, or matching front and back.  I thought I could change the axis of the cabinet but I haven't found that little treasure  - if that's even possible..?.. Thanks!

  3. Does anyone know how to stop the cabinet from 'expanding' to the side wall.  I'm trying to place a free standing cabinet near the side wall but still leave space between the cabinet and side wall. 

    CA keeps wanting to expand it to touch the side wall....no filler added to plan or 3D.  Plan photos attached.  Thanks.

    OK, you can do what Glenn says, but it's not the same thing.

     

    The Electrical Symbol that you get from the Library has a 2D CAD Block associated with it.

    The text is a part of that CAD Block.

    So here is the process to Change the CAD Block itself.

     

    1.  Select the Symbol that you have placed in the Plan and Open the Symbol using the little Chair Icon

    2.  Find the name of the 2d Block. "Outlets:Wall Mounted/110V/GFCI"

    3.  Go to the Menu and select CAD>CAD Block Management or just hit the V key

    4.  Select that CAD Block From the List and select the "Insert" Button.

    5.. Once you have placed it in the Plan you can select it, Unblock, make the changes, Block it and Name the new Block

    6.  Now Select the Symbol and Open the Symbol dbx

    7.  Select your new Named 2D Block

     

    You have now assigned a new 2D Block to the Symbol

     

    Add it (The Symboi) to your Library with an appropriate name.

     

    Thank you Joe -  exactly what I needed!!!  I've been scratching my head for years trying to make this change to a GFCI block which always seems to have the label in the wrong place :)

  5. I'm having the same problem....using X6...if I uncheck the 'ceiling' from room dbx I get blue sky, no matter which camera I use.

    I have a 'roof over room' checked and created the flat roof.

    I have tried deleting the ceiling thickness and finishes from the dbx box but I get the blue sky syndrome. 

    I am trying to create a commercial space that has no ceiling in it with exposed piping...any other suggestions would be appreciated.

    I need to see the underside of the roof framing...thanks
