scottharris Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 The new Cabinet Specialty Storage library catalog is available. Attach these storage pieces to Cabinets as Door Panels to automatically create customized cabinets great for office, wine, mudroom, or any other design with unique storage needs.You can download them at the 3D Library 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicinus Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Very nice. Since I yet have to become a member by posting 10 posts and I have a question now, I'm hoping it is acceptable that I pose it here. I am a relatively new user. I'm looking at a dining table symbol with a runner, but can't figure out how to edit it to have more than 6 chairs. I'd like something like 12 but the only way has been to scale the whole symbol. There is obviously a difference between a cad block and a symbol but can't I edit symbols? Also, am I right to assume that there are no parametric symbols in CA?

GerryT Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 That depends on the symbol you are using? You can not edit a Symbol -- only remakeit. But a number of table combinations in the library are NOT a single symbol but architectural blocks which can be exploded and the chairs moved and copied. The tables can then be scaled -- so with some effort you could make your own version out of some of the Chief offerings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicinus Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Thanks, I tried another symbol and that one could as you say be exploded into its components. However, not the one I chose first, 'dining table with runner', so how would I remake it since I can't seem to get it split into components and lines?

GerryT Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Unfortunately you picked the one in which the table/chairs are one symbol and the light fixture another, so you can’t explode these further than that. Take a look at the bonus catalog under grouped dining rooms. There are several there. You can explode a couple and then mix and match chairs and tables as you like. Then regroup. Several of the chairs will allow you to change materials separately for the seat and legs. Search the library and you can add accessories to the table as you like to produce the runner effect.

OldCKD Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Where do we get notifications that these new catalogs are available? I stumbled across this one in here but it seems as if I only find out about them by accident. Once in a while I'll see something on FaceBook, but rarely. Shouldn't we get emails or something when a new download comes out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryT Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 AFAIK - Cjhief does not e-mail a notification when new catalogs are issued . They do, however, usually anounce them under their anouncement thread.. so if you monitor this forum, you should see any new catalog notifications. Once you load a catalog, if you do a update, it will update any out of date catalogs but will not load new catalogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 CA has NOT been very consistent about notifications it is a constant quessing game to review the avail libs on their website and determine if you have "everything" the library tools in chief will keep existing libs updated by offers no help for missing or new libs I have suggested for many releases that the library update tool give a list of all the missing libs and ask if we want to download them by giving checkbox's so we can pick and choose or choose ALL it would also be nice to have expected counts so that we can verify that we are all the items for each library it would also be nice if we could organize the bonus and manuf libs to match the folder structure on CA's website I was told by CA a few releases ago that these were good ideas but ???

Nicinus Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 It would be great if all would show up in the filter dbx or a similar one. The ones that are not loaded could show up in a different color or something so that it would be easy to add them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I get a monthly newsletter and there is always a link to the new catalog of the month. Scott: but CA has released them at other times and they don't always issue an annoucement CA also updates them on a regular basis while the Library update tool will catch the updates I still have no way of knowing which .CALIBZ files to download as I like to save all of them also when X6 beta was released I downloaded EVERY X5 bonus and manuf lib .calibz one by one by one and it was a very tedious process with the X5 library current I then installed X6 and it migrated everything then a quick update and X6 was current yet, I had to go thru EVERY lib on CA's website again using the little "info" icon looking for .CALIBZ libs for X6 to download THEN, two days before Xmas my computer died during an icestorm ALL the .CALIBZ files were LOST I thought I could order a current X5 library DVD but no, it dates back to the beginning of X5 and is thus worthless at this point not sure I will ever take the time to do that again Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJSpud Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I am curious as to what those angled inserts would be used for. I don't study or do a lot of cabinets research but I don't recall seeing those used before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I want to know why they only insert into Cabinet Doors? I would have thought that they could be placed in an Opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJSpud Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Glenn: I suppose they could be used for that, or possibly canned goods or any number of other things. Like I said, I have never seen that style used anywhere. I even went online and did some searching and couldn't find anything similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
