If I’m drawing the as built at the house I use my 15” Dell laptop but usually we use iPad 12” pro with the Good Notes app

I was wondering how others order cabinets. I’m a dealer for several companies but my main is Custom Wood Products. There is a CWP catalog in CA but it’s not great. I spend soooo much time going thru each cabinet and specifying every detail which takes time. See attached. Once that is done, I print the elevations out and head over the the CWP online ordering system. Using my printed elevations I enter each cabinet and check off each custom detail until done. I would say, if I’m not interrupted throughout the day (LOL) a large kitchen will take me 3+ days. A current kitchen order I’m working on has $117K just in cabinets so making an error is not an option. I would like to hear what others do or any suggestions.

There a bonus catalog that has one

Thanks for the work arounds. Mark... Worked like a charm

My office. My employees call it my Marine bunker. A 32" curved center display, flanking 30" displays and a 40" upper display. Logitech MX Master mouse. Use my iPad Pro for my notes and site photos. I'm also tied into our conference rooms 50" TV display for presentations.

Has anyone else had the issue when a cabinets crown will not return back on the sides. I see this on diagonal wall cabinets where it will only return back on one side but not the other or wont return on either side. I've tried to move the sided cabinets away and bump them back together will no help. I have ensured the corner wall cabinet has a depth deep enough to accept the crown. Not in this plan, but sometimes when a standard depth wall cabinet bumps into the side of a taller deeper pantry, oven or frig cabinet the crown across the front disappears. As soon as I pull it away from the tall cabinet it reappears.

Thanks Mark for your help as usual.

Can someone give me some guidance or point me in the right direct to a CA video. I would like to know how to add custom inserts into cabinet that will change as the cabinet width or height changes. I have done a few (see pic) but by only adding 3D solids as dividers then making a block but it has to be edited each time the cabinet size changes. Thanks

Thanks Rene. I had watched an old video on toolbars and he was dropping them together below and then dragging them up. Maybe it changed after that video. Working now thanks

I was trying to drop them on top of one another while they were already in one of the tollbar rows. I figured out you have to drop them together down in an open plan area then drag the entire group up top. Thanks for all the help guys

I think what Im trying to do is to create a new toolbar and place all my custom symbols in it such as kitchen items, bath items, cabinets and so on. I guess a parent toolbar with child tools in it.

For whatever reason I cant get it to work. When I add a custom symbol icon using the Place Library Object tool onto the plan screen, then assign a symbol to it then drag it up onto a toolbar row, when I try to drop it on top of another custom icon it doesn't create a grouped toolbar. It just inserts it right next to the other icon. I must be doing something wrong.

I use an app called GoodNotes5. Great note taking app for site measurements and meetings. Add drawings, photos, notes and a lot more. Auto syncs back to my PC as you draw.

I would like to know the same if anyone is using this

OK I knew that. I thought you were saying to group tools in separate tool bars where you can move them around or show or dont show depending on the project

I didnt know you could group them into another tool bar. Is it similar to separating documents into folders? Ill look in help videos to see if they have one on tool bars. Thanks

Will this help HVAC.calibz

I added shortcuts to frequently used symbols to my toolbar on my laptop. I wanted to copy those to my desktop. I copied the toolbar folder in the X14 data folder from my laptop and them imported the toolbars to my desktop. When I open a new plan the shortcut icons are there but they are no longer associated with the symbol I assigned to them on my laptop. Am I doing something wrong? I have the same exact library on both

Got it... It's just a kitchen remodel so I didn't throw a roof on it. Thanks

I'm not sure the issue but every time I do a PB rendering I get what appears to be a gap where the walls and ceiling meet and looks to have light shining thru. Does not do it in any other camera views. Anyone have this issue?

Ive looked for a symbol but no luck

I know that I can hinge a cabinet door from the top but how can I have a single lift up door and or a bi-fold lift up door like in these attached pics? Thanks

Just a random question... Curious how many set there default finished ceiling height at 96" or 108" and so on versus 96-5/8" or 108-5/8" from floor to ceiling 1/2" drywall? I've seen several plans from others that have set their finished ceiling heights at 96" or 108", so on. Old school framers would cut 96" 2 x 4 to 91-1/2" and with a double top plate and single bottom would give a rough height of 96-1/2" and a true 96" with 1/2" drywall but with todays pre-cut studs at 92-5/8 versus the site cut 91-1/2" leaves a 5/8" difference from the slab to the drywall. In some older homes, I have in fact used my laser measurer from a slab or from very thin vinyl flooring to the ceiling drywall and get a height of 96" so in fact the rough framing height was 96-1/2". Again I was just curious what others do.

thanks

Is there a way or option to change the letter on a can light in plan view. N = New, E = Existing T = New Trim Only, S = Shower
