Obviously, the AC25 cabinet objects have been completely overhauled. I'm all for embracing a new tool and taking the time to learn how to use it. However, there seem to be some critical issues with the design of these new objects, which interfere with how some people choose to present their casework. A few of these issues might, in fact, be very easy to resolve in a future library update. I'll start with the easy ones:
Just want to ease some tension – these new objects ARE INDEED much more versatile and functional than the last iteration. They are an improvement. You guys simply missed a few critical things, which make much of your work nearly useless – as I (and others I'm sure) am seriously considering loading the old cabinet objects into my template to avoid having to take the extra time it would take to use the new cabinet objects. Though I would love to successfully employ the use of these ones.
Thanks,

A solid answer since v16, learn gdl and never suffer from crappy out of the box objects. Only from your own errors.
I wrote my own cabinets due to this and several other issues that still seem to plague v25.

Hi Ben!
Thank You for Your feedback! We have a relatively big list of bugs, features and wishes correponding to them new kitchen cabinets, and three issues from Your list (1.,5.,6.) is already on it at top positions.
We have already made improvements on the floorplan representation, on the area of cabinet edges (there will be a separate tabpage where you can set which edges you would to tur off), also We have adresses the issues with them undermount sinks. Also We are on to fix them knob positioning aswell.
I'll add 2., 3. and 4. to Our list aswell, and see What can do about them in the future.
Huge Thanks for using them new cabinets, and implementing them in Your workflow. Also Thank You for Your positive attitude, and giving Us feedback. It means a lot and We do everything We could to make new kitchen cabinets better.

Hi Mats!
The lack of edge visibillity options in new kitchen cabinets are a main issue, that We are already adressed in AC26.
Sorry for the inconvenience, We are trying to make new kitchen cabinets better in every way based on Community feedback, and this issue was a top priority one.
Thank You!

EDIT... just watched Jareds soft rant on the topic. Looking forward to the fixes.

Good news. However it shouldn't have slipped through the quality control in the first place. Since we use use the odd AC versions we'll get this in 27 then...unless 25 lib will be corrected!?

Jeno, still waiting on a fix for item 1 please. These cabinets have SO much functionality and yet don't function well at all.
Helllllp!

Hi Clints!
We are totally aware of this problem, and trust me we are going to fix it as soon as possible.
The last few years we focused on something else, but really tried to squeeze in some fixes for libparts.
We do just like that right now, so i cannot promise anything, but ill try to arrange a fix in AC27 or at least in an update.
Unfortunately its not simple to fix this, or not trivial, as the macro behind this behaviour is affecting not just knobs but legs too. Also if we are there we should rethink the UI, and many approaches how we fix this.
But, that doesnt change the fact that we are aware about this, and we will fix it as soon as possible.
