Missing Sink Hole In Basin Cabinet

Glad you guys figured this out (other than why Jay's placed object got broken in the first place)... Very weird.

But, just a note: when you open the object for a placed instance, you do not see the parameters of the placed instance ... you see the default parameters to be used for new instances. So, for Jay to see if his placed cabinet had 0 or 3, he would have had to unhide the parameter, save the modified object, then open the object settings for the cabinet and read off the value there.

Cheers,

Karl,
You are right of course.
That's why it was a rather a forlorn hope
that somehow Jay's copy of the lib. part
might have been altered.
I could not un-hide the objects parameters
save and then check the parameter values
in the problem object because I have the
demo version of AC 9.

I knew you knew 😉 but was posting for the archive. Hope you get your unlocked 9 soon, Peter. 🙂

This may have occurred, because while creating "Favorite" Cabinets I was capturing the Attributes of an already Favorite Cabinet with my preferred settings using the Alt-click method. Then I would Crl-Alt Click within the cabinet object library to transfer the Settings. ( This practice BTW produces incorrect Heights [height equal to zero] when applying parameters from one door to another door). Then I would save the Current Object or Defaults as a new Favorite.

This may be why "Hidden" parameters were changed...?

Jay:

This was the method I used to reproduce your problem. As I said earlier, it is a bug with the way that particular object handles this hidden parameter, since this parameter can be changed using this standard method. Just something to watch out for when doing parameter transfers.
