KitchenDesigns Posted February 15, 2025 Share Posted February 15, 2025 The dishwasher shows up flat at the wall no matter what I have tried. Please help. I've watched all the videos and tried everything they say, does not work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHCanada2 Posted February 16, 2025 Share Posted February 16, 2025 put a cabinet there and then find a dishwasher in the catalogue to drop into the cabinet. I use the "chef" series dishwasher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted February 16, 2025 Share Posted February 16, 2025 There is more than one way to solve this. The first and easiest way is to first place a base cabinet and then drop the dishwasher on top of it. This has the advantage of giving you an automatic counter top that goes over your dishwasher. The second way is to open up the dishwasher and adjust the origin and bounding box so that it behaves normally. If you do it this way, then you will have to manually build a counter top over your dishwasher. I see that Jason types faster than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KitchenDesigns Posted February 16, 2025 Author Share Posted February 16, 2025 Thank you for your replies, but that is exactly how I tried doing it and it always shows up flat on the design. I even started a completely new plan and still the same outcome. I'm using a MacBook Pro. Not sure if that is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBCooper Posted February 17, 2025 Share Posted February 17, 2025 Even though Jason is using an old template (you can tell this by watching the video because of the warning message that pops up) and libraries that need to be updated, I don't think any of that actually matters in this case. In your pictures, it doesn't look like you first placed a base cabinet and then put the dishwasher in it. Chief has a very odd way of handling dishwashers and the library symbols are designed to go into cabinets instead of work as free standing appliances. As far as I can tell, the only reason that they do this is so that you will get the automatic counter top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double click the dishwasher to open the Fixture Specification dialog after placing the dishwasher in your plan. Select the '3D' tab and adjust the origin offsets to 0". This is only suitable to do when placing the dishwasher as a freestanding object...NOT placed into a cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
