Yes they have been around since at least X5, but they only have one color assigned to them so you can't have the faceplate something like polished nickel and the switch/outlet white.

Sorry, I should have included this one. Decora Switch.skp

That is normally what I do. I downloaded this file, opened it in sketchup, and deleted all but one switch. I ungrouped the parts and then colored the faceplate metal and the plug white. When I brought it into Chief Architect, the entire item was red (and there was only one material listed). The only way I could get it to work is to export from Sketchup as a Collada file and then import in CA. I would just use CA's included switches but they don't allow the faceplate to be a different material than the switch/outlet. Decora Switch.skb Do you think it has something to do with it being imported as an electrical item?

Thanks! I am an idiot. I thought I had all the available manufacturer catalogs already downloaded, but somehow it missed it. :-( I am still curious to why it is happening since I have it happen on other Sketchup models as well. Is it because they all sit on one layer in Sketchup?

I am not very versed in Sketchup. When I take this "official" GE .skp model of their dutch door oven and open it in Sketchup it looks great. When I import it into Chief Architect, it loses all the different details (colors) and looks like a complete stainless steel object. The doors and details are no longer black, etc. Does anyone know why this is happening? I have had this happen on a few files before. In the past, I would go into Sketchup and export the file as a Collada file and then import it into Chief Architect and it would keep the different finishes/colors. It did not work for this model though. https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/78e6271b-3848-4fce-88a2-925037810c12/Monogram-30-Professional-French-Door-Electronic-Convection-Single-Wall-Oven ZET1FHSS_DC.skp

When I import the Sketchup version, it looks great in Sketchup but loses most of the black details when I import it. https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/78e6271b-3848-4fce-88a2-925037810c12/Monogram-30-Professional-French-Door-Electronic-Convection-Single-Wall-Oven

Thanks, I watch it when I get a chance!

Here is the link to the 3D file: https://appliances.monogram.com/us/specs/ZET1FHSS#downloads-anchor It is a dwg file. I also found one on the Sketchup 3D database that was posted officially by GE. I tried inserting it from the plan view but then it says that there are already other appliances (the Avantium and the warming drawer) and asks me if I want to replace them.

I have imported a GE Monogram Oven 3D Cad file from their site and I am attempting to insert it into a full-size cabinet. I have the cutout dimensions in the cabinet correct but the program says the appliance is too large to fit. This is because the face of the appliance (which sits outside the cabinet) is larger than the opening and the overall depth of the object (including the part in front of the cabinet) is deeper than the cabinet. How do I tell the program how far the appliance object sits in front of the cabinet (it should be 5")? I have made sure that "inserts into a cabinet face" is selected for the object.
