If CA would provide an option for open doors or a check to not show doors this all would make more sense. Otherwise just modifying the cabinet name should work.

I can't speak for everyone but we do a lot of custom cabinetry and getting the cabinets drawn correctly (interior and exterior) can be very important at times...especially in order to communicate and detail exactly what we're looking for to the cabinet shop.

Sure I'm joking. Isn't that what the "wink" and "grin"

are all about?

 

You could just be creepy : )

Lisa,

 

Can you attach the plan?  If so, I think we could help you get things fixed rather quickly.

 

I think what you need to do is set the height off the floor, or offset from ceiling dimensions correctly for your pucks.  It can also help in these situations to check "show position in camers view" so you see where the actual light source is.  If the light source is offset from the fixture it could be buried and you may not really notice it. 

I use a "door panel" for the bottom section instead of a drawer. They don't automatically get hardware and don't have opening indicator, add hardware separately when done.

 

Exactly what Mark said.  But you will have to add the Handle - unless it's a part of the Door Symbol that you get from the Library.

 

If you're gonna do that, why not just use 2 drawers without hardware and then add the handles manually??

 

Just spitballing here and I don't have my computer handy to test it, but how about remove the handles...copy and paste the cabinet in place...delete the top drawer...add a handle...change all materials to "no material" except the handle, set the handle to where you want it...copy and paste in place again and set handle separately for 2nd drawer.

 

I just got back to my computer.  It actually isn't quite as complicated as that.  What you can do is...

1.  Build cabinet exactly like you want it but with no handles...

2.  Copy/paste in place, change upper drawer to an opening, and add handle to lower drawer placing it where you want it...

3.  Copy/paste in place the new cabinet, change lower drawer to an opening, and change upper opening back to a drawer placing handle where you want it.

4.  I would defintely uncheck "included in schedule", and would supress label for the latter 2 cabinets.

 

This method has its obvious flaws but would also allow for different handles on the upper and lower drawers.

 

You can also use a door for the lower drawer and that gives you independent control over the handle placement as well as the panel and handle style.  Only drawbacks are the opening indicator is wrong (which I don't use anyway) and the auto label is also incorrect (which I don't use either).

 

Either way, its a bit clunky.  Hopefully we'll get something a little more awesome in X7.

Rich,  for a very large fee,  I can smooth out some of the rough edges.

This price seems a little low to me for a such a huge amount of work. 

 

For an extremely large consultation fee and a moderately high markup I think I could find an exorbitantly high priced architect to get them finished up to the point you could hire Scott at a relatively low rate to clean the plans up and add a few crappy ray traces to sweeten the deal.

Just spitballing here and I don't have my computer handy to test it, but how about remove the handles...copy and paste the cabinet in place...delete the top drawer...add a handle...change all materials to "no material" except the handle, set the handle to where you want it...copy and paste in place again and set handle separately for 2nd drawer.

2 other options...

1. Place the knobs manually

2. Adjust the height of the handles from top till they both work. I can usually get this to work close enough for most drawings.

But if you look carefully at the screen shots provided you will see the elevation is 42" and a thickness of 1.25", I included this dialog window to show this info, because I knew someone might think what you are saying, because the polygon solid has ben on the floor before and I could not find it.

 

I don't think you understood...if that polyline solid is on the second floor, the height would need to be 42" plus thje hieght of the first floor structure, first floor walls, and 2nd floor structure.  Absolute elevation is always increasing starting at the bottom all the way to the top. 

Another possibility is that the polyline solid is actually on the floor below. The "Elevation" height for a polyline solid is for the absolute elevation, not the elevation above the floor, like a countertop.

 

Don't know whether you're right or not, but good call sir.  I wouldn't have thought of that.

To me it looks like a height, or layer on thing. If it was z-fighting you would see it b/c its larger than the rail top.

 

You're right.  I totally missed that.  I didn't study it long enough.

 

...not all brands use India for tech support...

 

I realize that.  I was just making a point. 

 

I prefer to have the guy who actually built the system deal with any necessary service or repairs.

It looks like you're getting some light bleeding.  Try turning off the sun before ray tracing and see if that helps.

I have my computers built and configured by a local "computer guy".  That way you get exactly what you need, a little more money stays local, and your service is nearby instead of India.

So...I guess you won't be posting the plan.

I got similar results as you Lew.  I have a feeling the file was exported incorrectly. 

 

And word on the street is that the best free AutoCAD-like software is DraftSight.

...The question is "How did I create it?"

 

You're not forgetting things already are you??  I'm just kidding, but this quote is just begging for Scott to show up and start commenting on how old you are : )

This my friend is a very very good tip. The more I think about it, the smarter it is. Boy, do I feel like a Duffis. Thanks michael, I just changed my Methodolgy for many typical conditions.

Jeez I feel stupid.

Wow...that makes me feel special : )

I have a similar problem. I built a house and it looks good in plan. But when I do a floor overview I see nothing. Can you help me.

I would post a picture and the plan, but I am too busy. Would you guys mind guessing what the problem is.

I understand that I am not paying you for your time to help me, and I probably will not look at this thread for another week, but please help.

Did you check your references?

I am guessing (and why on earth do I do this?) that the thingymabob that you show in plan on top of the wall is not higher than the counter top.

Thats kinda what I was suspecting as well.  Looks to be a little z-fighting on the edge of the sink like there are 2 countertops in the same general space.

Todd,

 

Can you attach the plan?  It will eliminate all the guesswork.

You might be suprised all the things you can make with little "cabinets".  You can also use the slab tool, mouldings, framing, and any other number of tools to create those little parts.  Once built I usually put them on their own "Custom cabinet parts" layer so they're not displayed in plan view.

#5 hit add to post button for each pic.

That isn't necessary. Doing that just inserts the images into the body of the post rather than as an attachment at the end.

Not really. The U.S. pays the most and has the slowest internet speeds of just about any other developed nation. Monopolies anyone?

That's a pretty incomplete story and a bit deceiving. Actually The United States is barely outside the top 10 and two MAJOR

factors that aren't mentioned...

1. Population density...The simple infrastructure required to supply high speed internet access to our relatively low population density and sprawling land mass is huge. I didn't look at all of them, but I would venture to guess most if not all those countries higher than us on the list have much higher population densities and the population is much more concentrated within those countries, therefore they need less infrastructure which makes it cheaper and therefore more affordable.

2. I think you will find several of the countries higher on the list also have somewhat if not entirely nationalized broadband service (at least heavily subsidized and mandated) which would make the true cost highly questionable at best.
