How to install a dishwasher in a base cab so it is all appliance and no cab parts? X16

[GeneDavis]

I did not look in the Chief library for the 18" wide appliance I want, so I imported one from the 3D Warehouse, set its origin so it places where I want in the y axis, and am stuck on how to delete or alter the sides so it looks correct.

 

See my dialog pages, attached.  I need to either lose the cabinet sides or chop them at the toe.  If I set toe height at 4" it shrinks the appliance height by 4" at the bottom, so that is not the way.

I've noticed this too with my plans.  Now that I think about it, many (most?) dishwashers are installed between base cabinets.  Maybe the trick is to place it freestanding by itself and just pull a custom countertop over?

OK so I found one, the only one, in the Chief library.  It is in the GE manufacturers library, and installs as expected.  Don't know what is different about the symbol, and have not explored to find an answer to why my imported one won't work the same, but for now, this does the job.

I don't think it has anything to do with the cabinet settings and I think it is all controlled by the dishwasher symbol.  You either need to build your symbol exactly the same way that Chief builds theirs or you need to place it as a free standing symbol and then put a custom counter over it (like Jim suggested).

I randomly found the CA  "chefseries dishwasher" a few years ago because I liked the handle, that goes into the cabinet. It does not have the proud cabinet frame that you show.

 

just doesn't colour the toe klick to match, although yo can paint it:
