Applied End Trouble

Post by Nicolas Barbeito »

Sometimes when I add an applied end to a cabinet it will install it a 1/2" below the base of the cab. Is this a bug? The only fix I have is to adjust insets (-1/2" at bottom and + 1/2" at the top). Is there anything better out there?


Thanks

Nicolas,

Post the job you are having trouble with. Is your applied end a door or panel material? If it is a door, which door?

I have never uploaded anything before. Let me know if this is what you need. The problem occurs with either doors or panels (as shown in the file).

Thanks,

Nicolas

Nicolas,

I think your cabinet files are corrupted. I can't place the cabinets in a room and when I open them in the cab editor I get this.

It seems to be something with my export selection. I cannot get any cabinet to load properly using that. Even the generic cabinet goes all yellow on me when I export and then attempt to reload. But I take it that the original problem in not all that common then.

Nicolas,

The export selection feature is not what you want to use here. On a day to day basis, you will very rarely use this feature and is ONLY used if you want to convert something into a display object. After you export something in this fashion, you need to take it to the display part editor and apply texture, mapping, etc.. If you save display objects in a cabinet directory location, and try to load it, it will indeed not understand what is loading (it wants and expects a cabinet, not a display object).

What we really need from you is your cabinet or assembly saved directly from the cabinet editor. Cabinets will have the *.hsf extension and assemblies will have *.esa. These files will exist in your user data path location under \cabinets or \assemblies. Another way is to give us a job file, which is a custom layout or batch that contains cabs/assms and will have *.esj extension. Hope this helps...

Ok, I finally got around to posting this. Here should be a file that can be opened. You will see the trouble on the both sides of the dishwasher. It happens to me on both applied panels and applied doors.

Thanks,

Nicolas

Nicolas,

I am not seeing the problem you describe. Cabinet Ends apply to your cabinets as expected

Sorry, I deleted the wrong cabinets on the job. The uppers were the only ones giving trouble. Here is another file.

I apply them by selecting the cabinet in the floorplan, right click, pressing J then C, select what, side select what end, add a negative inset to the front ( to fit into the dadoe) and press apply.

Nicolas,

Thanks for the post and getting us the job file. I have narrowed this issue down. It is caused by the bottom rail's deck float on the cabinet. I have added this to our issue list and should be fixed for a future release.
