Cabinet Hinges

Does anyone know how to solve this issue with the hinges.

Thanks

Guessing (it helps when you post a plan or part of one) that you made the hinges as part of the door symbol, correct? 

Two options. 1- make the hinge in two parts- cup on the door and the rest inside the cabinet as the hinge. Might take a little fiddling to get the depth to line up, height should be easy. (until you run into a three hinge cabinet that you want to have two. 

Other option is using layersets one for door closed another for door open; different doors on different layersets. Have done that with complicated cabinets. That's easiest if you set the open door symbol so that it's open WITHOUT having the DBX open it. You want to only change sets.

Thank you Mark,

The hinge is a symbol, 

They are attached using Door/Drawer Door Hinges Style from the library.

That's what I thought, choices are as noted, make two piece hinge symbol or two door symbols.

Thank you Mark

Separate the hinge with the Delete Surfaces tool or export to Sketchup and use their tools.

Chopsaw,

if you look at the file you will see that the hinge is two parts already.

I just need them to work correctly on the cabinet when the door is open or close.

I think he meant for you to seperate the "cup" from the hinge Arm and place the "Arm" and baseplate on the cabinet and  the Cup on/in the Door , this is also what Mark suggested above. whether it will look right I don't know, but is likely the only option as the hinge symbol can't bend like in the real world.
