You misunderstand. What you want is not a miracle, it's easy. I gave you does what you want. In this thread it's a complete cabinet with no seams converted to a symbol. In the symbol thread I showed you how to make a single piece with multiple panels with no seams- place one of those in a blank plan and convert to a symbol the way Michael said to do.

Not sure why I bother
-
K, so here's a quick vid on what they do. Wainscot.webm

Suggest you try them as "side panel inset" in a cabinet to understand what they do. (In the plan I posted in your other thread the cabinet that was converted to a symbol uses them.)
-
Yes I make them as need be- Just posted a small library of them in symbols for you and others. Back a ways over there are some door symbol plan "kits" as well.

I've posted plan "kits" in the past for making cabinet door symbols (including these) but this just came up over in the QA section so here is a small library of wainscot panels as cabinet doors. Basically these are center panels with no molding that I use as "side panel inset" to make new door symbols or integrated sides of cabinets. Wainscott.calibz

Late to the party as was on the train. Assuming you want panels on the underside of the section above the doorway? Similar to Michaels solution (and Chopsaw) it's a symbol. Instead of just using a cabinet door I used an entire cabinet- used a wainscot panel door I had and a back insert door to make the verticals line up with the front. Did not mess with stretch zones- here's plan with finished piece at 72" and the parts used. Over door box all.plan

Are you blocking the group first? what version are you using? No problem here using X9 and blocking items first. If you are blocking them then do as Eric suggests, if not try that first.

I believe Chief usually offers training at the Northeast JLC show which is in March. Gives you time to get beyond beginner if that's where you are now? They're also offering training at IBS/KBIS in Orlando in January. I started with an online course from Chief and had the two employees I trained start that way. Granted our work is different but not by all that much.

If structure doesn't matter you can set the exterior walls to balloon through ceiling above, at least that works on a simple box in X9-I had more luck NOT doing all the exterior walls at once for some odd reason and I did not try just changing the default structure. Anyway, worth a shot.

Either use a back clipped section OR change the wall the cabinet to no room definition (then the perpendicular wall doesn't show without a kludge (included) OR make the cabinet in the closet in two pieces- one that is in front of the wall and the other inside OR make that wall/opening out of psolids. Second option included here. FWIW 30" deep is kinda cumbersome at that width cabinet. Plan_fix.plan

That card should work make sure that Chief is using it and not the Intel Card- should open Nvidia Control panel -manage 3D settings and add Chief to it.

Have never hit 100 but have easily used a couple of dozen if I've been down a rabbit hole, usually making symbols.
-
Have you called tech support? Undo was very much improved with either X8 or 9 (can't remember) Just tested mine again- most objects are almost instantaneous, roof planes are a bit hitting 2.5 seconds on my machine. I have maximum undos set to 100, that used to be a bottleneck and had to be kept lower. Maybe another setting?

Start with the NP9175 which is full HD same as the MSI instead of adding in $$QHD. I configured this at Xotic Operating System: 1 x Windows® 10 Pro 64-Bit Edition Preinstalled (Clean Install | Drivers Only | No Bloatware) (SKU: SGR6825) Graphics Video Card: 1 x NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 (8GB) GDDR5X (Pascal) DX12 (SKU: SGR91721080) Ram: 1 x 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 2400MHz Dual Channel Memory (SKU: SGR8156R32) Slot 1 M.2 SATA/PCIe: 1 x 500GB Samsung 960 Evo NVMe M.2 SSD (SKU: SGR1201) 2.5" Bay 1: 1 x 1TB (7200rpm) (SKU: sgr9643) Wireless Networking / Bluetooth: 1 x Intel® Dual Band AC 8265 802.11 A/AC/B/G/N 2.4/5.0GHz + Bluetooth™ 4.0 [M.2 Chip] (SKU: SGR6876) for $3034, likely the about the same price if you put two 256 in Raid 0. FWIW they almost always run a sale right around Christmas-New Years. Saves 1-300 bucks. Though the model I listed will be popular with the gamers. Sager isn't on a lot of places "lists" mostly only find reviews from hardcore gamers or notebook sites. Clevos is the largest laptop maker in the world, maybe the largest gaming maker, there are a lot of boutique brands out there that are nothing more than Clevos with a nice logo. Sager is no BS brand. Before Dell bought them ALL alienware laptopsa were Clevos. I've been running nothing but laptops for about 12 years, on my second Clevo and there is another in my future when the 9th gen CPU and Volta comes out next year.

Scott-Didn't notice the drives, still the MSI starts with no name drive Sager starts with a Western Digital. (I'm a Samsung fan). the ram can be had no sweat. I'd still be going for the newer processors (and I'm a hardcore Clevo fan). I'd also aim for a smaller but better SSD for the C drive and a HDD for storage Might call the folks at XoticPC and talk with them-buncha geeks who use and service the machines they selll (Sevena gaming brand availbale)

You can get all that and an 8700k for the same money

Just got the smaller machine in my sig-runs X9. I only tested a small plan but had sent a 25mb plan to Graham who has the older version and it's just fine. Not going to be Raytracing on it. For what I had in mind it's fine and the price was right last week. If I wanted a better light secondary machine I'd wait for the 8th generation HQ series, will be more video card options when that happens early 2018. The larger Sager is all else I use with up to 3 external monitors and generally unrestrained bad behavior, If I were getting a new machine now I'd get another- current verison with an 8700k From what I've seen and checking loads on my machine I'd aim for a 1060 GPU as the most bang for the buck (6BG) and stick the extra $$ somewhere else. I always add in an Intel card, my Sager has both that and the Killer card. For hauling the beast, I sprung for an Everki Titan a few months back after I checked just about every pack on the market (in another life I was a pattern/sample maker/craftsman/designer in the leather industry). It's almost as nice as my Ospreys.

I'd guess you already did a search but here's some info. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physically_based_rendering http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/beginners-guide-physically-based-rendering-unity http://www.vd-3d.com/physically-based-rendering/

This looks right AND can read correctly in a cabinet schedule. Reduce the width of a tall cabinet by stile with, make the stile you don't want extended "0", place a filler the stile width next to cabinet, uncheck filler, set tall cabinet and stile to 26 deep. Block together, copy past in place, reflect. Open block and select include in schedule, change the label to suit. Now looks right and reads correctly in the schedule. I forgot-uncheck include in schedule for tall cabinets and fillers, And suppress label for them as well. Was in a hurry, past my bedtime.

As Eric said post the plan be sure to "place molding profile" into the plan and put a red circle or box around it. Also note from my first post that you need two molding profiles, one for left and one for right. Open the each molding line to see the difference.
-
3D molding lines can act odd. Draw a simple line (curve) and mirror it before you convert it. Also makes snapping easier. (Just went through this with a prairie mullion door). It's a good idea to turn off "connect CAD segments" too.

But then you would have issues with the material origin.
