Yes, they are inserted into the back. At some point it is wise to add another. If they were not "by others" i'd be placing them in as separate items to included in the schedule. Shelves.plan

Can do that with cabinets too, with some hacking (make brackets cabinet doors) you can have them as part of the cabinet. The advantage is they get into the schedule so you can order them. Maybe X10 will place shelves and partitions into the schedule without the work arounds?

If you're happy with the shape and don't need curved glass you can take what you have and copy it to a blank plan. Take a 3d view, then use the delete surface tool to get rid of those areas you don't want, then convert to a symbol. IF you want curved glass It can be done with molding polylines and likely a few solids for verticals OR attached was made from a curved front cabinet. A bit more complicated but may I understand what to do there better so here is ... Door for it was made using a wall cabinet-1/2" deep, 1" separations, side panel inset for the front. For the side panel inset (glass) made a door symbol that was 3/8 thick converted to a cabinet door symbol, then alter the origin (trial and error), and restrict it's ability to resize the depth by setting stretch planes at 2" and -2" for depth. Used that in a bow front cabinet- sides and back set as openings. 3D view, delete surface, convert to symbol. Image shows cabinet and completed symbol.

No it doesn't do that. Michael (Alaskan Son) posted a kitchen work triangle tool some time ago. I use it once in a while but usually just use the tape measure tool to pull a leg of the triangle to check. I frequently set a polyline with an angle cross hatch pattern-transparent backgournd, on it's own layer- makes snapping islands and such easier. Keep another layer for guides to place circles for clearance of open doors/drawers, appliances. Have all those on working layer sets but don't show on printing sets. For the rest, I guess I have the guidelines almost committed to memory but I do keep a pdf copy of them for my senior moments. FWIW I kept that feature turned off in 2020.

I use wall cabinets, face set to "blank", keep in user library. That way they get included in the cabinet schedule.

You can get two way jumps using BlueBeam or any pdf software that lets you place hyperlinks. Is that something that you are looking for? attached pdf from the tests I ran. Label for each elevation will jump to a window on the floor plan, label for each callout on the plan will jump to the page that the elevation/section is on. Should work in any pdf reader (tested in Adobe Reader) Of course this doesn't work in print. Callout test.pdf

Attached is a quick layout and plan-got it to work on both elevations and backclipped sections BUT only if the layout page label is text. I can't figure out a macro that works-maybe Joe or Michael who are better versed in the dark arts than me. Callout Test.zip

Thought about it and it may work placing a macro that converts the automatic page number to text in the page layout field? Not at computer will try later or someone?

I wasn't there but someone else had asked about this not long ago and I was interested. I checked the ref manual and it lists this as something that can be done. Just ran some tests. What I found so far is-it works only for section elevation NOT for backclipped sections (which I use almost exclusively Second it appears to only work IF the label for the layout page is simple text IOW not a macro so it does not then give automatic page numbering -at least that's all I've been able to get to work??? For it to be useful it should work with automatic page numbers?

For online meetings I use zoom.us. Can draw on anything within it. Also have a little applet called zoomit I use for in person meetings. Get that at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/zoomit

Great thanks all.

Doing an as built for a contractor I deal with and well I'm a cabinet guy-don't really do roofs. On the front of this the fascia goes away and then those little I don't know what you call em get added to the sides. I realize I could add a psolid for the fascia but guessing that there is some sort of pilot error going on and would like to know the proper way to correct it. And then the I don't know things Roof question.plan

There's a number of cabinet brands that use 16mm (5/8-I have one PIA). It only matters if you need to send in correct openings in a cad detail. For 3D it helps getting proper face heights using the specs the companies send and I sort of specialize in crazy clients.

Guess they are a little thinner than the earlier models but those specs have been around for over a year. For light and inexpensive I'm interested in seeing how the 8th gen Intel CPUs shake out. The i7-8850U supposedly fall between the 7500HQ and the 7700HQ at lower cost, better battery and less heat. There are several that have launched (mostly around $1k) but only one with a dedicated GPU (Acer Spin w GTX1050), Apple is supposedly launching one for those on the dark side. It all may become really interesting when nVidia Volta series drops combined with Intel's 8000's.

Yes. Tested before I posted with a simple plan- curved stair, curved wall, and a line, in a box. Problem with copy in place is you can't have two walls in the same place, the copy just replaces the original "in place". Ctrl alt c puts it on the clipboard. I've only ever done this with keyboard shortcuts, don't know if mouse works.

Using framed is not really a problem I have a template set for it. Actually has a lot of advantages over using the frameless designation once you need to mess with configurations much. The only time the ghost line is an issue is if you need open cabinet or getting CAD detail but CAD detail just makes for some extra lines. If you really really need it ...attached has 2 hacked cabinets and one made from a framed cabinets. For the hacked cabinets the sides are custom doors inserted into the back of the cabinet. (the only problem with doing that is if you use schedules it will automatically read as finished back) NOTE -The "door" I used is included in the plan. The toe kick is not correct on this one. I just grabbed a symbol I had set for use on inset cabinets for another reason and adjusted it a little. In any case if this is important for the few situations where it shows open up the cabinets and door symbol to get an idea of the settings. Then make some doors up to suit your need, and keep that and a few cabinets in the library. 625 side base.plan

Draw a line as a guide, ctrl alt C, reflect about line (ctrl F on my system)

Shoulda mentioned that the biggest difference between the current laptop CPUs and the desktop one is when using multiple screens. Desktop CPUs don't have Optimus to work around, get hiccups with the old 15" machine when connected to the Dell (sometimes). Decent speed for me- yesterday all day with 28mb plan, second 9 mb, plan, layout file, 2-3 perspectives at a time, 4 elevations, 3 cad details, firefox with 4+ tabs, bluebeam with 6 tabs, xNview, Chaos Intellect, occasionally open office Calc-no lag-except the normal when switching to watercolor with line for renderings.

I only use a laptop. Cooling matters for constant use or it will get throttled. I use Clevo Sagers-I like the ports, cooling and ability to customize-the one at the top of my signature was $3k and has a desktop CPU. That said with the newer NVidia cards I could see using one with a laptop CPU, more so if it's not for all day constant use ( and or fewer screens-I also run two extra monitors- 24" dell, 15" Display port (draws off the CPU not the vid card) and sometimes add in a 42" Samsung TV with clients.) An option NP8372 with 17.3" FHD IPS Matte Screen w/ G-Sync, Intel® Kaby Lake i7-7700HQ,NVIDIA® Geforce® GTX 1070 [8GB] VR Ready, 16GB RAM (Up to 32GB 2400MHz) 250GB M.2 SSD + 1TB HDD Starts at $1700- plus the OS (120 for win 10 Pro) Same thing with a Desktop CPU 7700k adds $400 Given a choice I'd wait a month or two. New Intel Chips dropping shortly and supposedly the biggest improvement in them is in the laptop chips. Personally I'm waiting till first or second quarter of next year when supposedly yet another group of Intel Chips and some new NVIDIA chips land but I'll be looking for a rocket. You will find some similar for other brands, link I posted specializes in gaming machines there are other options.

Frameless has been like that since it was added to Chief. You can use framed with 5/8 separation and full overlay. There will still be a ghost line on cabinet sides at 3/4 that should not be there.

Yes it does but since I have to order fillers I want to place them myself have them as shortcut keys- FW, FB, FT...

Turn off "automatic fillers" in cabinet defaults general

Well pretty cool. Not sure I get how to do it and keep what I already have in the field but will give it a go in for morning. Thanks

For the job I need this for I already need all 4 of the OIP fields are already in use for other things. If I can't change the designated h,w,d columns it will be easier for me to change all the labels ( I think?;) Thanks

The standard width, box height and depth columns- I already use all the OIP fields for other things. Changing "number style" doesn't do it, no way to insert %width% into them that I know of.
