I would not change it back to the default since that will change the other cabinets. Place one cabinet, change it. Copy and paste if you need more. OR If all you are changing is style, wood and color you can just configure the cabinets, then group select and change what you need.

ditto to all the above

WOrks the same in plan or 3D IOW it does not work for fixtures, furniture or railings. The icon is no longer an option when customizing toolbars (support thought it never was but checked X9) Didn't check if it worked on more objects then, just moving ahead.

No it doesn't but I got the answer from tech- A) you can no longer add that tool to your toolbar in X10; B)-it just doesn't work on anything I was selecting-furniture, fixtures, railings (where I started) Thanks Chop. On to plan B

Doesn't show, shortcut key does nothing. Will try support again.

I've lost it? Have the object eyedropper, object painting modes just can't locate "select properties to paint". Looked in both 3d and plan toolbars. Build 20.2.3.3x63. Anybody else? Tried calling and didn't get through which is rare. TIA

I keep laptop on my left, main screen at 45 in corner, and 3rd on right skewed in a bit. I use a second cordless keyboard in front of the main screen which also gives my left hand access to the laptop's number pad so I no longer need my wireless number pad. If my desk was deeper I might add another keyboard

Cabinet defaults- general, turn on to show, and of course have the layer switched on. For sides-use a custom face and make it a panel-the panel/autopanel in the drop down don't show in plan.

Is the final result outside? or inside? there is no context in the plan as supplied, I'm guessing this is just paired down? In any case light is relative no matter what. If this is the complete plan then there is no way to get the lights to show up with the sun on. Think about it- take a flashlight and go outside on a sunny day and shine it on something not in shade-nada. Here is what your lights look like with the sun toggled off. BTW-if you want an even light in this situation you will want to add light sources and adjust the light data to get rid of the cones

Your file name has not changed. X10 added "plan views" and "working plan view" only shows up on the tab to indicate which plan view you are using. When a view is sent to layout it will use the named plan view. Every layout box sent to layout that has the same plan view will look the same. There is some information on plan views in the reference manual-not a lot but some, might find more searching the forum. They are a little tricky to get adjusted to but very powerful once you do.

Is it a room molding? a molding done in the cabinet DBX? or a molding line? (hence why Eric suggested post the plan-just make sure it is closed before posting it.) These were drawn as two separate molding lines. Before drawing the second one turn off "Connect CAD segments, and draw it so that it goes past the first one- then when you turn Connect back on it won't connect so it won't change color. molding.plan

I posted this in the thread with the symbols but figured I'd just paste it here. First- the horizontal lights are on layer "Electrical UC lights" Make sure that is on in your view. The verticals are on the Electric layer (I don't remember why, I'd prefer them on the other layer) Change the layer assignments to suit. Second- they light levels are purposely very low. They were set to produce a soft light with little edge definition in that cabinet or as undercabinet lights. Naturally you can change any of the light properties, unfortunately you have to change each light (guess how I know). Third-Selecting the lights They can be selected in a backclipped section ONLY if you have not clipped into the middle of the light. That can either be from the side, front or back depending on the situation. While they show up in plan (with layer on) BUT IF they are inside another object you can't tab into them. You CAN select them in plan if you click on the center of the light- not if you click to the side. In a 3D perspective or when hidden in elevation - you can't tab into them. (Ask Chief, I have no idea why.) I used a layerset that hides whatever is in the way, noting the height I wanted them at to begin with.

Someone was having trouble working with these so here's some information that should be helpful. First- the horizontal lights are on layer "Electrical UC lights" Make sure that is on in your view. The verticals are on the Electric layer (I don't remember why, I'd prefer them on the other layer) Change the layer assignments to suit. Second- they light levels are purposely very low.

Not AFAIK what I have done is moved part of an annoset- but if you copy -plain text, dimension(s), and cad line from a plan using one annoset the defaults from those sill be added to the new plan. It at least cuts down the work. Rich Text doesn't work and I have not tried the other categories since these are the ones I usually want to start with. And of course you can export import individual layersets.

Thanks, learned from a master-just followed what you did

That's what I started with, thanks again Graham

Plan includes- Needed these lights for a project and adapted from from Graham's KitcheAdobe (I think) but could have been Renerabbit. Vertical 42" and horizontal 54". Adjust as you please. (and if you make a few sizes might post them back here eh? A few depths of shelves (job had changes) that you insert into the back of the cabinet so that to hide the lights and let them shine. Image only has the horizontals. Since they decided on books the verticals were not used. LEDs.plan

Sounds like something is off in the library database. I'd try -go to C:\ProgramData\Chief Archtiect Premier X6\Bonus Libraries and drop a copy of 3DBonusPlants.calib in there.

To get the stiles of the sidelites you'll need to open the symbol and add stretch planes, may need to do go through a generation. There also a way to make door symbols using a wall cabinet. Posts in tips or symbol section from a year or two ago. The glass is another story as David notes.

Copy the door, swing it closed, turn off all the hardware. Had to do this an hour ago.

That's why I posted what I deal with - Should have mentioned that I keep everything at "recommended" scaling (100%) and use WinAero Tweak utility to alter fonts so I can see. I used the snipping tool for a while, not nearly as fast for multiple shots but I have to save the sticky as an image if I want to mark it up (XnViewMP)-OTOH easier to have access to later with manage stickies (also a keyboard)

I've had issues at times when changing which monitors I'm connected to and what I have set as primary BUT I run a mix-Standard is: laptop 1920 x 1080; 27" 2560 x 1440 as primary, and a 24" 1900 x 1200. I've mixed/added/swapped in a 15" USB connected, 1920 x 1080 and a 39" 1920 x 1080 TV. Only had an issue once or twice and usually when I've mixed in the USB monitor. It may matter that I've used a multi-screen utility for a long time; helps with the different resolutions which was a bigger issue prior to Win 10 (great for moving maximized windows accounting for the varied resolutions). RE screen shots- I recently switched to using the sticky note program I use (also long time- Stickies by Zhornsoft-donationware-nonags) Let's me use a hotkey to take area screenshots. Since I have my stickies default to "always on top" gets to be quite handy to grab a shot of a DBX I need to copy information from or know what I changed.

Toward the end of this thread I posted a library

This really doesn't need to get all that complicated. At least I see no value in blocks or symbols in the long run. Does anyone do that for a building? how's that work if the walls are possibly being moved? Start with existing plan, save as and continue- as written earlier. No need to force open a second instance of Chief. Open layout, click to open plan, tear off tab, minimize or move to another monitor, repeat... Presto 4 open instances with 4 different layouts and as many perspectives/elevations as you want on each. KISS.

They had boxes at X3 and X4 when I started. I'm not sure when it went away since I never used them anyway.
