Ziggy Stardust hinge plate holes

Post by Gene Davis »

Is it my PC, or the software?

I am working the standard frameless seed, corner upper, and in adding doors and associating a hinge with associated hardware hole pattern, I am getting holes all by their little blue selves, up in space above the cab.

The same hole pattern has served me well in other cabs I've built.

I did a download from this forum of a basecab susan corner, that exhibited the same little cluster of David Bowie holes.

What's going on? Is there a patch for this?

You can see their spatial relationship with the unit in the topview wireframe.

I wonder if you have graphics display issues. Have you rebooted recently?

Are these still out there after you reboot? I wonder if your graphics system needs a kick at this point. If not, I have NO idea about what is causing it.

Here it is, Gene. I opened it as a cabinet, not an assembly (since the file suffix is *hsf, not *.esa). I don't see the hinge holes at all, as you will notice. Was this the correct cabinet?

Gene do not despair hole patterns in corner cabs continue to be an issue in eCabs and will be sorted eventually, it used to be worse I was getting the hinge holes in the doors drilled randomly into other doors so there has been progress

In the mean time, would I place them with the part editor?

Gene,
I would call support at eCabinets today or email your cabinet to cabinets@thermwood.com and let them know about this.
I would still caution you about trying to use this as a wall cabinet. I think it will cause you grief in the future.
Try building this cabinet using the standard wall corner frameless cabinet as your seed and see if you get the same results. Did the hardware holes do this on your original base cabinet before you re-sized it?

Al.
Make sure you have \"Show Hole Patterns\" checked under your right click/Visibility menu.

Gene and Kerry,

I did NOT have Show Hole Patterns selected! I do have flying holes in this cabinet.

Kerry, I HAVE the \"show hole patterns\" option checked in VISIBILITY.

This cabinet is one made using the seed in the STANDARD file of cabinets that comes with the program, \"Std upper corner frameless.\"

The seed comes without doors, and when I place doors, using associated hinges for which a hole pattern is associated, I get the flying-in-space holes as seen and discussed here.

Gene,

At this time you cannot associate a hole pattern to a corner cab. I take my ends into part editor and add manualy to both sides. This way it can be hung either way. Take the parts to constraint manager and constrain the holes to the top and bottom so you can stretch it.
