problem placing Cabinets

Create a room,
In detail room overhead view
Place the standard upper framed on one wall using align to back(it will place at 84\" from floor)
Now select the standard upper framed and use change size to place the cabinet at 90\" from floor.
This cabinet will snap to the wall using align to back but will not snap to the existing cabinet. It will pass through it

Mine didn't start out at 84\" so I changed it for the first cabinet. And then followed your instructions for the second cabinet (90\") and it did what you said. But I could get mine to pass through the wall without snapping to it like I was in FREE STYLE mode.

So, you lookin' for problems????

I did it, and was able to reproduce the problem.

Also tried the following:

1. After dropping the cabinet without running into the first one you place, move the second cabinet manually. It will not go through the first one.

2. In elevation mode: The second cabinet does not go through the first one when placing it.

It appears that the second cabinet will NOT go through the first one, once dropped into place. In addition, I managed to get the second one through the wall, and I HAD to delete it , as I was unable to move it in any way once it was \"stuck\" to the wall.

Edit to add:

1. Start in wall elevation mode.

2. Repeat procedure with two cabinets.

3. The second one will go through the first one, in the same manner as Kerry observed in overhead view.

Sounds like we are becoming victim to the \"K\" version of the software

\"top mount height not bottom height.\" But that's Okay...

Just kidding Kerry.

It seems as though if you even click the change size and do nothing but click okay the cabinets snap to a wall or corner but do not snap to the next in line...

This is a bug when you change the mount height via the Change Size button in Place Items Dialog. If you change the mount height in the Define Standard Dimensions in Setting/Preferences, it will work correctly.

Rick,

If you even open the change size dialog and click okay without actually changing any numbers, it will do the same thing. I think it's related to the graphical matrix getting a junk value in the display objects translation vector.
