  1. Not at computer now. Cabinet framed, 3/4" separation, turn off auto build blind. Set cabinet reveal to 0, then increase where needed. If it won't let you use opening. Copy rename slab door. The rest should be ex.
  2. Not a bug, pilot error. You need to rotate the symbol 90 degrees on Z axis. Yours looks like this You want something like this. With stretch set to this. NOTE if you want to size both top and bottom you will need to do that in 2 generations of symbol. First change size of bottom, add to library, change stretch zones to the top section and resize.
  3. Did you bother to try a Style Palette or just assume you knew all that they could do? You can make it to change the type of window. I was away so just tested to make sure my memory was not gone. Select a double hung window, make a new Style Palette, Open the settings, clear all, select type (you may also want to select the schedule type and glass). Then if you want add that library item to your toolbar though I just keep SPs in the library in specific folders. NOTE- Also IF you had the default window set as awning and you want to change ALL of those to double hung you can do that by changing the default.
  4. This is in X17, add version and hardware to your signature please. In short used pony walls for shower enclosure so makes a room. Draw ceiling plan, manipulate the slope and locate where you want it. Easier if you give it a fill with no background. Filled in the side wall with a solid, also has a fill. Not exactly clear what you are after from the two pics you posted since don't exactly match each other. Tile.zip
  5. Well Jim's idea is about the easiest. The alternative needs custom door symbols with a Y offset to use as toe kick but really why. Charles yes many makers offer "combined" cabinets up to a certain size, or sometimes cabinets are built in the field with face frames made in the shop. I've done lots of combined ... but in this case I would not do that. It looks as if the OP is using 3/4 inset and that looks to be 114" long. That is larger than most makers would do as a single cabinet, if they did the center section is going to be week. My installers would have a fit IF I could talk the maker into doing it. I would do a combined I have used a drawer with a recessed frame so as not to show. Then a panel for the back, determine how that panel gets attached with the installer.
  6. Easiest method is to use a countertop with molding (baseboard) for sides. Plan attached (in X16 since you didn't say) for you to work with. Once you have it sized how you want it convert to a symbol (on right in plan), then use that symbol for drawer where needed. I' also a 2020 refugee, left in 2010. BTW fix your signature to include version and hardware, helps in the long run. Also using all caps is considered yelling. plumbing drawer.zip
  7. I learned how to make most things in Chief. On occasion for a drafting client, when the Mfg had the items available in Revit, I would use that. First time used a trial version for free. After would activate it for a month of use which was inexpensive enough.
  8. Change separation to a blank area, then make narrower to the size of your reveal
  9. The Y origin of the symbol controls that, then update the block. OTOH how do you see this being dealt with IRL, in the field? None of the cabinets would have a finished back as standard. The DW need both water and electric and this island needs outlets to meet code. Just leave it to the KD to sort out? At the very least I would put a panel across the entire back of the island. In most cases if i'd frame a short wall back there to make mechanicals and installation easier. Of course then you have to cover the ends of that wall.
  10. An alternative would be - split opening vertical, change item types and sizes split horizontal, change items types and sizes No need to change indicators though it takes a bit longer the first time but leaves a lot more control to alter if using in the future. Even faster just using the attached Style Palette. I used a renamed slab to make adjustments easier. Framed Opening Style Palette.calibz
  11. Here's a plan with some ideas on how to do that. Plan is old, originally in X13, and don't remember for sure how I made the door. Might be with the wall cabinet on the floor. Nowadays I'd make the door from a countertop with molding added, convert to cab door symbol and rotate. Taking a detail from view of elevation of stairs is the easy way to get the angle to use. Under stair cabinet.zip
  12. If you want that in your template then save as template when you all done with customizations. Could have found this in the Help pretty quickly F1 key.
  13. To make the symbol smaller open object, plan display, uncheck automatic, type in size The text size is controlled by the layer. Change it there. P.S. Using all caps is considered yelling, not polite.
  14. I convert them to a cabinet door symbol. Attached plan with cabinet and door symbol. The Y origin of the new door symbol needs to match the depth of the cabinet you use. Depending on the other settings in the symbol sizing options you can change the cabinet size and the hood will change with it. All 3 of the ones shown use the same door symbol.
