How are you going about resizing the cabinet? Put the new size in the size box and press "enter" and it should resize correctly (although I haven't downloaded that library and tried on them).

Paul,

Have you tried deleting the deck and then adding the deck back?

Thanks Guys

Dan,

That's how I resized the cabinet.

Gary,

I tried your method and it worked fine, but I lost all the fitting holes, so I think it is a constraint issue.

Definitely. Take a look at the constraints and see how they are setup. You can probably change them so the cabinet can be resized.

Paul,
Did you resize just before placing it in the room, or after it was already in the layout? It seems to work better for me to resize when I choose the cabinet, but before placing it in the room.

Ken,

I resized it before placing it.

I found the problem.........


In the constraints settings the first line of leg mounting holes had a setting of 11mm from the end of the panel, this was on the front and the back, I removed the contraint on the back and everything resized fine.
