Title: Walls and furniture in some rooms are not on the same floor level
Post by: dkarlstumpf on June 08, 2021, 06:32:13 PM
Hi:

Everything looks great except some of the furniture and some of the walls are 4.5 inches below the floor. It is not consistent. Can I select the entire drawing and get everything on the same floor level? I tried it and it got confusing.

Hi David,

This issue is defined when you set the project elevations. This is very important. => Floor tab => select the floor => set the elevations.

If you prefer, you can select the desired elements => Elevation Tab => set the desired elevation.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, that helped, as did a copy of your e-book manual. I am having trouble finding the control toolbar to group or ungroup objects. Your manual describes its use but does not describe where it is. Sorry to be so dense.

Actually, yes, it is shown in the eBook, as you can see in the image attached (screenshot of page 395 of the eBook)
The group / ungroup tools (pointed with a blue arrow in the image) are part of the 3D Custom Workshop Power Tool (pointed with a red arrow in the image).
There is not a group tool in the main program.
Let me know if you have more questions.

Hope this helps.

Hi Patricia:

Thanks for the rapid reply and friendly advice to someone who is so dense. Last question for a while. I want to combine two objects in your cabinet selection and was able to ungroup and remove the oven and one base cabinet but could not figure out how to insert the same dimension components from the sink dishwasher combination object. I tried to copy the sink dishwasher combination and put it in the power tool representation of the modified oven/base unit but could not do so. I hope this makes sense.

Hi David,

You're welcome! No problem regarding the questions, feel free to ask  :)  8)

Once you deleted the undesired parts of the first cabinet, verify the free space. You can do this using a rectangle (see the first image attached) => as you can see, the free space is = 53.54".
Then, drag and drop the second cabinet => select => verify the dimensions => in this case, the width is = 70.19" (see second image attached). You can resize the width or move the points => verify if the cabinet + sink + dishwasher fit in 53.54" => once you resize the second cabinet, place it in the free space of first cabinet.
Alternatively, you can resize the first cabinet, setting the free space = 70.19"

Hope this helps.
