CBuserIndia Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hello, Need help with using blocks. I create a simple wardrobe. Make a block. Add to library.After this I try using this block in project.When I double click this block, I do not get "Full Height cabinet specification" box. Usually this opens when I double click other wardrobes available in library.On double clicking I get "Architectural Block Specification" box & this doesn't allow me to customize it, doesn't allow me to change size & other details.Please suggest what step am I missing here.

English Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I think that you will have to explode the block to work on the details. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBuserIndia Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 On exploding, each object becomes independent. If I change size of cabinet, shutter doesnt change. However same thing when I do with wardrobes i have imported from 3dwarehouse website, they work fine. On double clicking, you get to change dimension & whole wardrobe changes/adapts the new size.

Solution tommy1 Posted April 6, 2016 Solution Share Posted April 6, 2016 Don't block it. Do this in a blank plan and make a symbol of it instead of a block and save that to your library. Once doing this, it will work like you want. BTW, I would save that plan that you made it in so that you can come back at a later date to modify it if you want.

TheKitchenAbode Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 If all you have done is modify an individual cabinet then there is no need to block-it, just save to User Library and you will have full editing capabilities like any cabinet. Usually only block when you have a created something like an island with many differing components, after blocking you can move and position this as a single unit. If changes are required you can either explode the block in place or move it to a blank area, explode it, modify it, then re-block it and move it back.
