How can I specify this Hafele base cab pullout to work as a drawer pullout (as the Rev A Shelf items do?)

From Hafele's site, I downloaded a .dae format model of the base pullout I want in a cabinet.  In importing the symbol, I specified it as a door/drawer.  Maybe that's the mistake.

 

Anyhow, it can be placed in a Chief model.  In this pic, shown L to R, are the Hafele pullout, a Rev A Shelf pullout, a cab into which I placed in 3D space, the Hafele pullout, and a cab with single drawer, the drawer pullout (in the cab spec dialog) specified as the Rev A Shelf.

I want the Hafele to behave as the RAS item does, that is, it replaces the drawerbox (being itself a pullout) and can show nicely in a 3D view when show-drawer-open is checked for display.  That cab in the pic that contains it, is specified as a single-drawer in front, and in the pic you can see the drawerbox.  Note there's no d'box in the other cab, the one with the RAS organizer.

 

How should I do the import the right way, to make this work?

I solved it!  Import the object and check it in as an interior fixture, and checking advanced options.

 

It's not intuitive, but just as you do for the Rev A Shelf pullout, you go into the drawer spec checking the appliance thing, and you can then in the next spec page that opens, ID the pullout object as a pullout.

 

In the pic shown here, the one on the L is for spices, the Hafele one on the R is for oils, vinegars, and any other cooking pourables that come in tall slim bottles.  The flank the range.
