I was thinking, since the original question was never answered, I would give it a little bump.

I am using X10.

I see the molding layer does not show baseboard in the doorways and behind cabinetry but, the material list-interior trim does a take off for the entire perimeter. Can anyone help?

Right!

Thanks K!

I have attempted to upload the .plan without success.  Error code -200

Now that I have my Cabinet laid out. I want to produce a materials list, with the components, to price the job.

The list produced by CA X10 does not accurately reflect the drawer box widths.

How can I get an accurate component list?

Hi Mark.

Thanks for your help.  Following your instructions allowed me to accomplish th

Yes it is with custom symbols for the drawer boxes. Slightly different than what you had but that's because I just altered some symbols I already had. You can do the same from those included.

Attached plan has two.

 

Open Symbol and check the origin and stretch zones.

When making the symbols I check advanced options.

I moved the Z origin by a 1/4" of an inch since the default gap at the bottom is 1/4". This increases it to 1/2".

For the sides the OOB gap is 1/2" and you wanted 3/16. To get that once I reduced the bounding box width by 5/8" or (1/2"-3/16") x 2.

You will notice that the boxes don't resize in height well so you will need multiple heights but most everyone has a standard run of sizes so should not be a big deal IMO.

The symbols included will work in cabinets up to 36" wide. Any wider and you need a wider box since they won't resize beyond that.

Hi Mark

I was able to precisely locate the drawer boxes within the cabinet box by converting to a symbol as you instructed, with the variation being a 1/2" Z origin offset producing a 3/4" bottom gap for the slides.

For the side gaps, The bounding box modification and stretch zone assignment works well.

Thanks very much for your help!

P.S. your .plan did not open in X10

I am attempting to precisely layout drawer boxes within this cabinet box in order to maximize storage and to ensure correct sizing of all components. Ideally the drawer box would resize with 3/16" clearance on the side and 3/4" on the bottom. Is it possible to set defaults to this resize arrangement?

Hi Kbird!

So the custom pattern does not array the tiles?

A third party is required?

I was hoping for a third pattern not a third party!

Also: What is my vector size?

Hi Rene!

Like this attached?

Hi all.

I am attempting to lay out wall tile in a Brick third pattern in X10.

I have captured the texture (new material 45) from a screen and applied it to the top custom back splash.

I have then copied the plan material and sized the texture (24x12) and the custom pattern.

It then renders in stacked tile pattern.

What am I doing wrong?

I am disappointed that RP was discontinued.

I am running CA 10 on a Windows 10 laptop.

I have a Bosch GLM 50 C (Bluetooth) that connects to the laptop but cannot seem to configure it to input dimensions directly to CA.

Has anyone had success in configuring this apparatus?

Remove surfaces tool is effective, but is very time consuming when surfaces are small and numerous.

Am I correctly using the Explode block tool?

Is this a bug?

I am seeking to unblock a symbol downloaded as .skp.

I import as a fixture, interior.

Select in library and place in plan.

Shift select, and then click "Make Architectural Block"

Click to Explode the architectural block is now available, but doing so has no effect.

I want to remove some items from a group. The broom for example.

How can I accomplish this?

Thanks Mark

Your plan is very helpful.

I like using rollouts and fixed shelves in drawers.

My work around was adding the rollout symbol, in the closed and open positions.

It is unfortunate that a work around is necessary rather than making shelves available with a drawer. 

Thanks again for your help.

Hi There!

I am trying to add rollouts in drawer cabinets. I can add rollouts easily when the cabinet features a door, by adding a drawer box to the shelf. 

Is it possible to combine a drawer and a rollout?

Thanks
