Design_Set_Match Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Is there an easy way to show cabinet doors as open without having to leave the doors off the cabinets and painstakingly add each door separately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCHIJEF2000 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 No not an easy way, painstaking it is. http://www.chieftalk.com/showthread.php?35540-Previously-unknown-cabinet-functionality&highlight=previously http://www.chieftalk.com/showthread.php?43825-Previously-unknown-cabinet-functionality-2&highlight=previously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottharris Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 You can with these steps: 1. set the cabinet to not have a door 2. place the door separately from the Library and rotate it open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 You can with these steps: 1. set the cabinet to not have a door 2. place the door separately from the Library and rotate it open. 3-resize door, 4 move door which snaps to edge of cabinet, 5 move door with transform replicate to correct position on cabinet, 6 move door with Transform replicate to correct height- repeat as needed 7. hopefully you do a save as since you have to revert to closed for the client again. All this-while client watches since this usually comes as a client request? or make a second plan and do it ahead of time because you have to show them both open and closed but alas if there are changes in the meeting that doesn't quite fly. Easy? no. To simply check clearances I use circle about center in plan. If I really am going to need this for someone I redraw the entire kitchen in 2020. That allows to: open doors to a specific angle (using the proper hinge location; slide out drawers X inches (in a good catalog), open appliance doors , slide out roll out trays, show interior accessories (and in some cats slide them out). All via the cabinet DBX- still must be per cabinet but way easier and often worth the work to redo the plan. That feature is at least 15 years old. Something that easy would be great in chief.
