Display Cubes

[Neal Meyers Jr]

Once you create and save and a modified display cube where do you and how do you use it in a design? I created one and saved it in a job folder but when I try to reopen it alone, eCab sends me back to the main menu. I looked in the "add molding" editor not there, in the standard and my cabinet files, not there. The only place I see it is in the job folder but it will not open.

Thank You

Display cubes will only save as an "assembly" so have a look there from the main menu.Also if you placed it in your cabinet but didn't "associate" it to the cabinet first ,or placed it in custom layout but didn't "associate" it to a wall in custom layout it wont be there.

Neal,

I turn my Display Cubes into Display Objects.

After you have created your cube click ( or drag a box around it) to select it.
Go to File then Export and export the cube to your exports folder.
Leave the cabinet editor and open the Display Parts Editor
Click open stl/hsf and find your exports folder and open your cube in the editor.
Texture your cube and apply any appearance changes
Save your cube as a display object.

You can now add this to any cabinet or room as a display object.
You also have the ability to scale your cube now.

Wouldn't it be nice if Display Boards and Display Panels were re-sizable? I want that one on my list right next to having a transparency setting so we can make glass shelves that resize with a cabinet.

Thank you Kerry and everyone else. I have had success with creating, saving and finding a display cube. Now to figure out how to use them. That is tonight's project.
