DaveTheB Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I downloaded the 3D models of my exact kitchen appliances (I think from 3DWarehouse - it's been a while) and they're in my HDPro library. But when I try to drop them onto the appliances already in my plan to replace them, HDPro tells me "This will conflict with another object in the same position." But if I select an existing appliance object from HDPro's default library, it tells me, "This cabinet already has a fixture or appliance. Would you like to replace it?". Is it possible to tell HDPro that it can use my downloaded objects as appliances? Thanks, db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution DavidJPotter Posted March 17, 2016 Solution Share Posted March 17, 2016 Remove the unwanted appliances. Create a cavity in the target cabinet large enough to make room for the intended appliance. Using control Key-drag you then manually place the 3D warehouse appliance into the prepared cavity. Appliance objects that ship with Pro are programmed to interact with cabinets, 3D Warehouse objects are not so programmed so additional steps are necessary to use them.

LawB10 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 To the OP go to homedesigner site > User Center>Catalog Content. Download the Manufacture's catalog the objects work with software 3d warehouse objects don't work well with software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTheB Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 @LawB10 - I've tried that where possible but these are Bosch appliances and I don't see them available. Would love to hear that I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 You can suggest that Bosch appliances be added as a feature request, that is how things happen or not. They respond to multiple requests. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTheB Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 @David - I've had partial success. For the cooktop, I simply removed the old and placed the new one on top of the counter, adjusting distance from floor to make it look like it is mounted into the counter top. The microwave is an undercounter, drawer type. I removed the existing generic one. In the dialog for the cabinet, I chose the Appliance opening and then it let me pick my Bosch microwave from my library. That's great except the microwave is hovering in front of the cabinet rather than in it. I tried deleting that from the cabinet and then just manually placing the appliance but again, it will let me place it over the floor in front of the cabinet but not in it. Any ideas?

LawB10 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Use the full camera, place it to the side of the cabinet and make your adjustments in 2D view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTheB Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 @LawB10 - Much appreciate the help but I just can't get the microwave to move into the cabinet. If I try to place it where the cabinet is, HDPro moves the cabinet. Is there possibly something wrong with the cabinet definition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Posting an example plan will give us something to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawB10 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Like solver said posting the plan helps It's seems like your not holding down the ctrl key when you move the Microwave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTheB Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 As far as I can tell, I'm using the Control key. (I'm on a Mac so in case it should be a different key, I believe I've tried Shift, Option, and Command too.) I've attached my plan. In the first floor kitchen area, I've left the microwave in front of the cabinet it's meant to go in. In the bar, I've left a wine fridge. If you can get this to work, I'd love to know how since I plan to do the same exercise with the oven and fridge.

solver Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 For the appliances, I moved them into the cabinets with a control drag, then adjusted the height as needed. I would do away with using the fireplace tool and instead use a solid -- soffit or slab for example, to form the interior brick wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTheB Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Well now I'm very confused. I quit HDPro and restarted it. With a little nudging to get it to move into place, things moved and I didn't have to hold down ANY key. I wish I knew what I'd been doing wrong. Thanks for all the help - much appreciated.

LawB10 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 get rid of the poly lines you don't need them Delete the fireplace from the foundation raise the terrain pad by lowering the number Use a pass thru or doorway and place the fireplace on the outside wall, that way it won't show in the master bedroom Uncheck the No Firebox, raise the fireplace to the height you want it. Resize the fireplace defaults to what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
