How to add Dishwasher and make it flush with cabinets

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.

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.

The dishwasher shows up flat at the wall no matter what I have tried. Please help.

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.
