AC25 Cabinet Objects

I'm reworking our template favorites for cabinets to incorporate new features of AC25. Perhaps I haven't found it but can you:
1) show dashed lines indicated door swings and shelving behind the doors in 2d elevations
2) at a two segment base cabinet, when I set the lower segment to a double hung door with drawers above I can't figure how to show two drawers side by side above the door panels. It only appears we can have one large drawer.

Dashed lines for shelves behind cabinet door? I am testing AC26 now, but it seems like this function is still missing. This is basically the only reason we are still stuck with pricey 3rd party solutions.
I can set the door to be glass and transparent, then the shelves will show as solid lines, not dashed. (extra issue: I am seeing the side walls also, which I'd like to not see) Probably add some graphic override magic, but last I checked, GO applies rules to the full object not to certain parts of it, so I guess I will have a result with all the lines dashed, even the ones I want to be solid.
It's sad, because they have put a lot of work in this new cabinet tool, but this simple function keeps me from using it.
