Hi everyone, I received a 3D model file from a manufacturer titled "GarageCabinets.dwg" (attached file). When I open the file in ABViewer, I can see multiple layers for the model (highlighted in red in the picture below). However, after importing this model into my library in Home Designer Pro 2021, I can only see the complete model without all the sublayers (highlighted in red in the picture below). My goal is to colorize each layer with a different color. Can anyone help me resolve this issue? Thanks in advance! GarageCabinets.dwg

Hello Eric, I downloaded the wall socket object from this page: Swiss wall socket 230V 3xT13 | 3D Warehouse (sketchup.com) Thank you for the tip! I found a nice training video : Creating a Wall Niche (homedesignersoftware.com) I will try this and if it is successful I can close this topic by a tiny video. THX and BR and have a nice day. Marco

Hello community, how do I place a wall socket on a wall correctly? See the picture below. There you can see that the wall is covering the interior of the wall socket. THX and BR Marco

Thanks, David! Have a nice day!

Hello community, I want to buy a kitchen. I was aking the kitchen supplier if he can send me the dwg-files of all kitchen objects. Instead of sending me dwg-files he was sending me a bak-file. I checked on google and they say I must rename the bak-file into a dwg-file. So I did it and I imported the dwg-file in my project (File->Import->Import3DSymbol). The problem here is that all the kitchen is only one object instead of multiple objects. So, I am only able to select the entire kitchen as a single object. See the video below. Is there a better way to import a bak-file? Or should I ask the kitchen supplier for all single dwg-files? Maybe somebody can also explain me what exactly a bak-file is? Is this maybe a package file (like a libary)? THX and BR Marco 2021-03-23_13-19-52.mp4

Hello solver, thanks a lot for your help! It works perfectly now. I made a tiny "solution"-video for other users below. Have a nice day. I updated also my signature as you wrote above. BR Marco 2021-03-22_23-16-25.mp4
