Upper Cabinets

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 10:23:25 GMT

Hey Guys,

Is there any way to display the actual depth of the upper cabinets in plan view. For some reason regardless of what I do, the plan view continues to show the box size not including the doors. For example my cabinets are 14" including the doors, but if I use 14 inches as my depth in the setting dialogue box and make my doors one inch, it displays correctly as 14" in plan, but in section the cabinet is 15".

All I want it to show 14" in plan and 14" in section, I think 9.0 did this correctly.

Please any help is welcomed.

Thanks,

I checked the first wall cabinet in the list in the AC 9 and AC 10 libraries
and it is the same in both libraries. The 2D symbol does not
draw the plan view of the cabinet to include the thickness of the door.
The 3D model adds the door panel on the front of the case that
is the B dimension deep. The wall cabinet I looked at did not have
a setting for door thickness at least with the flush panel style.
I think you are going to have to change the 2D script to make
it consistent with the model.

I have no idea how to do that.

I'll just fudge around it for now.

Is there a cabinet add-on software for archicad that anyone knows of?

Thanks,
