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

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.

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.

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. Hood as cabinet door.zip

I just use center about object-grid snaps off.

My guess would be to turn off grid snaps. It works for me.

Stumbled on this again, guess I wasn't paying attention. If I were drawing this I would want to have the feet included with the cabinet and to show. In that case you need to keep the toe kick present. IF you remove the toe kick, then to get to the proper height above floor you have to raise the cabinets off of the floor. THEN IF you want feet you have to place them manually. Too much work. Also have not idea why I would want to draw cabinets without counters? Attached 4 cabinets, ALL have feet, only two show them. The fourth cabinet has a molding added to cover the feet. The macro for height remains SIMPLE. You could then just place standard cabinets and apply a style palette to them. The downside is a style palette will not correctly apply the set back to the feet even though it gets listed in the SP. But can be done with a group select after. Cab feet.zip

Not really and I doubt it will ever, nor should it IMO, ever happen. My solution was eventually just ignored 2020. Pretty much as explained in that 2017 post but instead of using 2020 I began dragging and dropping into an online ordering system for brands that have that. Nowadays that should be a majority of brands. Originally, I had libraries of cabinets for that purpose but switched to Style Palettes. Less than two dozen well done will usually take care of most of what is needed. FWIW my two primary brands did not support 2020 and AFAIK still don't. One did not have an online system, the other was full custom and the online system could get complicated (but I still made it work most of the time.) For brands that don't have an online system, are very advanced, or have an overly complicated online system; I set up a spreadsheet template that printed matching the brands order form. I would then copy from the exported sheet to the order sheet. That would still require some manual input for some things (like number of doors/drawers). You could go so far as to eliminate all manual input but that is pretty advanced and not worth the effort. Then yes you have to look up the prices in a pdf catalog but the order sheet can be set up to do ALL of the final calculations. Gets pretty fast with a little practice and a well bookmarked PDF file (you likely need to add your own bookmarks so need a decent PDF editor) I'd be willing to set up one brand and train you on it so you could then do others but for a fee. Or better yet dive in. You will only need to learn some very basic macros and dive into the rabbit hole for a while but a great learning experience.

Make leg from solid, then convert to a symbol, use advanced options to set stretch planes or zones. Keep the plan in case you need a different variation. (half or 3/4 or something else)

Tried answering this twice but keeps hanging after submit. Been a while but checked and still available. Download free trial of Revit, good for 30 days. You can later subscribe month by month, turn off when not needed. Don't remember what format I converted to in Revit but got symbols into Chief no problem.

I know Bluebeam (now a subscription) does it as I have it. PDF exchange might (a lot cheaper) With either check with them- BB for version but should be the basic, I don't know the exact capability of PDF eExchange but closest thing out there to BB and a fraction of the cost. Sending you a PM. (why the lskdfkldjf does the forum lag or not post half the time using Firefox)

Room divider, place bifold doors (custom door symbol needed?). Cabinet has no bottom, no bottom separation, no toe kick - front is opening with no shelves. I moved the appliances away using transform replicate XXX" before setting cabinet or doors. Adjust the doors in elevation, move appliances back XXX"

angled side cabinet.zip Plan attached showing steps. You will need to fill in the toe kick at the wall with a solid (there are other more complicated ways but not for now :)

Do with cabinets. stalls.zip

First method shown along with two cabinets with nubs removed. One with full height side. drop door.zip

I'm not near computer to check but I believe that if in the DBX select the bottom separation and change the reveal to minus(-) the # you want it to hang down by. Say -1"

I set a key on my trackball to be the Apostrophe and use a separate number pad with my left hand. Type number, hit key for feet, type inches. I use an Elecom Ex-G but there have to be plenty of mice out there that can do this.

Used a pony wall for the front wall too use shower.plan

Where about on the Island? Do you need field measures? About how often?

I not only too kind but also a master. Should we audition for a Chip & Dale remake now

I'd be interested in discussing this with you. 20 yrs KD and dealer- semi and full custom, lots of brands. Freelance drafter for 8 of those, large percentage of clients have been ID's and Cabinet folks. Currently semi retired so not interested in hi volume. Currently only working with one client temporarily. PM me if you want to contact info to see samples and go over things by Zoom.

As DB suggests build it from solids Mantle hood.zip

Use Plan views

It's worth noting that Code, Comment, Description, Manufacturer, and Supplier can be copied by themselves using a style palette. While the custom object fields will always ALL be copied. Hence something your nomenclature is best placed in a custom field, that field is then referenced in the default label. This would leave the above fields available for special purposes (which will eventually occur).
