Full Height Cabinet / Appliance Question

[JKEdmo]

When I insert a double wall oven into a full height cabinet, Chief figures it all out automatically.

 

Super!

 

 

But it doesn't place a fridge automatically into a tower cabinet.  I wonder why?  Am I picking the wrong fridge from the library?  How is a fridge different from a wall oven conceptually?

 

 

Thanks again,

 

Jim

I don't have any advice for you except I build it in Chief the same way I do in real life, a wall cabinet with side panels on either side. There was a thread on that same question recently, but I'm not at my computer now.

I never had much luck building cabinets to ever allow the fridge to be flush as the wall ovens or dish washer in the real world so I don't approach it any different on the computer either. Most fridges need their door hinges proud of the sides to allow the doors to open enough to allow the interior drawers to miss the small tray holders mounted on the inside of the doors. I use an open lower cabinet with only sides and a top cabinet blocked and saved in my library.

Thanks for both replies.

 

I guess maybe conceptually not the same thing as a wall oven, in that the appliance (fridge) does not "plug in to" the cabinet, but rather the cabinet is an independent surround.
