Appliance Will Not "Recess" Fully into Cabinet

[Drew-PRH]

Good day,

 

I can not seem to get an appliance to get "tucked in" or "recess fully" into a cabinet.

 

Here are the steps:

 

1. Going through the Cabinet Dialog
2. Choosing the "Front/Sides/Back"
3. Choose a door and change to "Appliance" from the "Item Type" drop down
4. Change "Item Height" to specific Height
5. Choose "Lock from Auto-Resize"
6. Go to Appliance/Door/Drawer and "Specify", then type in item # (in this case DYWS4)

 

The chosen appliance (DYWS4) dimensions have been changed to be that of the actual product.

The opening has even been made larger (just in case) and no changes, so it was changed back

 

The four images shows what it looks like in different view angles.  However the overview blueprint shows it "in the cabinet".  Hmmmm

 

So....Just trying to figure out how to get this Wine Dispenser to fit "in" the cabinet.

 

Thank you in advance to all you smart ones  -  Drew

The Y origin of the symbol needs to be changed. It may be set wrong, or it may be that it is meant to be installed on the floor since it has feet and is not a built in object. In any case you will come across this occasionally.

Place the symbol on the floor. Open the symbol, check the depth of the bounding box, copy. Paste into the Y origin, then adjust since the depth includes the handle so would recess too far. I just took a quick guess at correct depth. Generally you want the Y origin set 3/4" back from the face that you want to be flush. Once done add to your user library so you can select it for the cabinet.

Then go to the help or reference manual and read up on symbols, origins and stretch planes.

 

Note that a lot of us float appliances in on the

Y set to depth of bounding box.

Y adjusted (guesswork)
