diyDehnel Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 What options are available to modify a base cabinet. I have downloaded 3ds files of appliances but no where can I find an option to set to adjust how they work with cabinets. They simply push the cabinet out of the way or if you overlay them you see parts of the cabinet through the appliance. Is there some Boolean tool for cutting a cabinet so it will look as if the appliance is properly installed in it? 2016 Pro Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Could you post one of the symbols? (3ds file) You will probably need to zip it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diyDehnel Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 See how sink is not automatically cutting away the base cabinet, I had read another post about making a cavity in the base cabinet when this occurs but it did not explain what tool to use to do this. sink.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawB10 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 You click on the face of the cabinet, and click> Item type>opening. When you download from a third party the symbol don't work to well , your better off using what 's in the library and the manufacture's catalogs that you get from the Homedesigner site.

Are you asking about the countertop? Imported symbols don't work like the ones built into the program. What about the thing to the left? It looks like a free standing appliance that does not fit in a cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawB10 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 If that's a Apron sink, download the Kohler catalog, it has lots of Apron sinks and they work with the software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diyDehnel Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 Thanks everyone, so there is no way to manually cut a cabinet to create a cavity that you could locate the appliance in? Is that what I am hearing. Correct about the other appliance too, I did figure out a workaround for that one with partitions and a custom counter top.

Again, are you asking about the countertop, or cabinet, or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawB10 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Again, you click on the cabinet face and click Item type>opening, that will create a opening to place the appliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diyDehnel Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 I was asking about both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawB10 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 You delete the countertop then place the sink in it. Again your better off using what's in the Library and The manufactures catalog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
