Cabinet DBX, back, custom, side panel inset. Then select a door symbol. If you have a tambou door symbol use that for the side panel inset. IF you don't but have a material for the tambour then use a slab door symbol that is unique (save to user library with a different name-slab 1) IF neither and you need a tambour symbol I make them from moldings. If you need the back of the cabinet to be different than the inside face of the symbol then you need a symbol with two colors.

Mm, not necessarily...

I believe you mean the point markers. Don't use Point to Point dimensions. Read up on dimension defaults in the help (F1 key)

Are you sure about that? this is the only way I can automatically get the second label .

From help (F1 key) while in preferences...

I usually do it using the drop down for text style in ALDO.

In the object DBX, Options, sits on a base cabinet or table. OR in the general tab, finished floor to bottom. If the object is in your user library, you can change it before placing (maybe make a duplicate first. If not in user library place on the floor, open and change height off floor. IF the object you are trying to place in on has a higher bounding box than where you want it set (like a washing machine or stove with a head) and your object floats above it lower the object using tansform replicate, z axix OR you can't drag it in place when at correct height hold down the control key

You can use the match properties tool, ctrl+J on my system or this icon. Other Properties, Automatic description should do the trick.

There's an icon to change the CAD layer. I use that often to change the layer. My PVs are set to either Never Save or Prompt so the change can be temporary.

Yes there is. The method I use requires 4 custom cabinet door symbols per width or type of bead (1/2" round, 3/8"round, cove, etc) Then there is up cabinets. The main door and drawer styles can be changed leaving the beads alone. I offer plans and libraries for sale. 1/4 beaded, 16 cabinets 1/4" beaded for combined, 7 cabinets (which you need depends on how you order the cabinets- I need both) 3/8 beaded, 6 cabinets base only elite cove, 7cabinets beaded with chamfers, 19 cabinets A Library with 1/4, 3/8. and cove bead for all sides- and two types of chamfers. PM me if interested.

I had expected to need notched shelves but you don't unless you want a cap between them and the med cabinet for realism. They will not protrude into the cabinet.

Make a solid, cut a hole in it, convert to cabinet door. Used a framed cabinet set separation to suit.

I did it a little different than Rene. Note this is time consuming, not simple stuff.... I made a door symbol from parts I had in the library-legs, crosspiece and a slab door. That can be 3 symbols that all go in the front with differing offsets OR one that goes in the center and another that goes in the the side faces. I think that is easier but the picture and first dbx is the first one (I tested the second though)dbx follows. NOTE that the left and right stiles are set to 0" on both of these. Since it does return across the entire front I used a loose molding line under the counter. Not knowing what construction you were after I used 3/4 separations and inset. Need some small changes for overlay. Second version with one symbol set in center and another set in each side.

Had a play with this. Used pony walls there were copies of room divider set to 4-1/2" wide with lower wall a default 4" interior. Works no issue so my guess is it's how you made your pony wall? I also tried setting that room with a shelf ceiling and that worked (better) assuming you do want a ceiling. OH just saw this is in Tips which are a place for folks to post tips and tricks they use for solutions, questions should go into Q & A.

Those are Point Markers. Not sure how you managed to get them since you don't say what you moved. The only way I could easily get them was to use Point to Point dimension line. Her they are shown lower than yours. If for some reason you turned off object snaps that might get them? I would carefully select the markers, may need to tab into them, and delete. The 25" will go away too. Then select the dimension line, grab the circle at the end and drag across until the 25" appears. IF a new number does not appear then the dimension line is further away than the reach setting for the dimension line. Either temporarily move the line closer or adjust the reach in the DBX. Might be a good idea to read up or watch videos on dimension defaults and settings. It's generally good practice to include a signature in posts with the software and version you are using. For challenging problems listing hardware can also help.

Not sure what you are doing. The only thing I find may be different-start with framed and separation set to zero, then place the appliance in front. Then no top, no bottom, sides and back to none, toe to 0,0 then uncheck. I managed to do with your symbol and then with symbols adjusted. Plan has yours on left, then adjust to sit on floor, then adjusted to floor and resize within the toe kick. NOTE that as I was wrapping up realized the the door on that dishwasher will sit proud of the adjacent cabinets. See below. I only did this because you asked and to see what happened. I never use this method. I always have custom countertops so no need there. Normally I make these from cabinets without using an appliance at all. If appropriate I make a door symbol by deleting surfaced from the appliance and converting to symbol. That gets the look and the counter along with correct spacing between cabinets. In this case where to resize height is important and I did not look up specs and haven't done an 18 in a long time so that's up to you. Included top right of plan. Alternatively, I might place as freestanding object and fill in the countertop. In that case the symbol needs adjustment- example bottom right. 18 DW.zip

Just in case, since I thought you would know this but well... If no Proximity setting has been made then you can click and drag.

More information could be had IMMEDIATELY using the help

Yes, making it a room will get you framing so do that first, turn off auto frame, then make landing. The texture you used for the decks is missing so couldn't get that on there but may need another. If you want the doubles on the sides that would take Psolids I think. An alternative might be to break the retaining wall, reverse that section, break again & reverse. Then change the fill for the section under that deck to none.

Not sure what you want for railings but some control can be gained by reversing wall direction after a split. Put a quick sample there. Stair rails sometimes drawing rail that follows stairs in center then moving helps BUT your retaining walls interfere, and they want to snap to the invisible deck walls. Worst case can get one correct size (say by cutting the retaining wall(s) temporarily) and make a symbol-PIA to place the symbol though.

One way-start stairs at wall instead, raise them to be two treads off the floor adjust rest of stair spec. Two polylines for the bottom treads, convert to landing, delete railings (or not- didn't try with)

Deleted the walls that made that a room, kept the framing. Added a landing, removed railings and moved it down. and update your signature since that plan wanted to open in X16

It is possible, the problem is that the perimeter is defined as a measurement. Change to both to a float and they will multiply. You will likely want to either also use the number formatter on the result or shorten the number of decimal places. here is formula for macro in the attached. # fill in field hgt in the OIP, convert both to float A=(perimeter.to_f)*(custom_fields["hgt"].to_f) #result is in sq inches so divide A/144 Place macro in label or wherever you want it to report from. pline macro.zip
