kwhitt Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I searched the forum and was unable to come up with a solution for this. The hardware on a full height cabinet is not behaving correctly. I have two doors, one over the other using the CA Core tubular pulls. I am using a 3.5" offset from the edge of the door. The top door places as expected, however, I am unable to get the bottom door's pull to locate that same 3.5" from the top edge of the door. The door/drawer fronts are ones that I created myself if that makes any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Not sure what's going on, it seems to be working fine for me. Not having that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Specify the hardware for the offending door in the face configuration. It's not your door symbol it's the hardware symbol causing the problem. When you get around to your own custom hardware be sure to test out the symbol origins, in particular on appliance handles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right. Custom handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mark. I didn't realize you could even specify hardware from the face config. That's handy. I'm running into another problem where the hardware is not resting on the recessed panel inside the drawer. Any workarounds for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember talking about this many years ago in the previous forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For hardware to sit on a recessed panel instead of rail or stile you need to copy to user library, rename, open symbol, change the Y origin so it sets back however much the recess is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwhitt Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 That's inconvenient. Mark - when you make the axis change, does CA calculate that in object space in relation to the door panel or is it a world coordinate setting? I ask as I won't bother if I have to have different symbols for each leg (run) of my kitchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its calculated in Object space so you should only need 2 symbols. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as Chief knows the door or drawer is 3/4" thick so it places the hardware in relation to the front of that. I suppose it would be pleased to program doors otherwise but at what cost to performance. I find it useful to understand how the program sees things, then work within that framework, less frustration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwhitt Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 I can't image there'd be any more hit to the performance than the manual method you describe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the face count for every door symbol would multiply dramatically. Download a LA Cornue range from the 3d Warehouse and import it as is to see how face count matters. At some point we get into 2020 territory. I realized that the above is wrong, face count doesn't change. What would need to happen would be a more complex bounding box or multiple bounding boxes for the door symbol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
