Total Newbie - Custom Layout Question

[Steve Williams]

Hello

I just got the program today and I have created some cabinets I want to place on a wall.
The problem I have having is some of them dont butt up tight against their neighbors, there's a sliver of air between them.
How do gang them tight?

While I am here, when I add adjustable shelves to a cabinet of my own creation, the pin holes dont seem to appear.
Any ideas? Does this also happen with the hardware holes for hinge plates?

Thanks

When you add a cabinet right beside the first one you placed it should align up to that cabinet. Make sure before you add your next cabinet to right click place cabinet/assyembly options then place mode and select align to back. Now when you add your cabinet the back will align up to the wall and the sides of the cabinets should align with each other as well.
When adding adjustable shelves, make sure when you go to the shelf editor you go in to the construction settings click on adjustable shelf and check mark the apply self holes. This will allow you to set how many holes are added with the shelf.

Right Click and make sure you object snap is checked. (Bottom section of the right click menu) After you create a wall, If you hover over the endpoints of the wall they turn blue. To create an adjoining wall, just hover over the endpoint and left-click to select and stretch the wall out. Having you snaps on should fix the problem

Make sure that when adding a shelf you have the "Adjustable Shelf" option selected.(see left hand column when you are in the shelf/partition editor) Also make sure that in the contruction settings area, under the "add shelf settings" tab, you have the "Apply shelf holes" check box selected.
