Cabinet Problems

[Graham C]

I am having problems getting any of the cabinets to work.  Any I select all end up as a island unit!  This is what I have been doing.
I select the Floor tab.
Click on the Cabinet icon.
In the Tools Option, I select the thumbnail picture for the unit I want to use.
I then click on the drawing and it places a cabinet on the drawing, but NOT what I selected!!

Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug?

I am using Windows 7 64-bit with latest updates.   TFP is Version 17.0.6

Hi Graham C,

No bug here 

When you use the Cabinet icon (Floor Tab), you have two options to place the cabinets
- If you place the cabinet by clicking on the floor of the room, the program will set an island cabinet
- If you place the cabinet by clicking on the wall of the room, the program will set a wall cabinet using the selected model => See attached

Tip: after you insert the cabinet by clicking on the wall => select the cabinet on the plan => go to the cabinets' drop down menu => select the desired model => the selected cabinet (floor plan) will become the selected cabinet in the drop down menu
Good luck with your project!

   Easy when you now how!  Many thanks for that update. 

I was trying to place the cabinets just in front of the wall, hence it did not work as expected.  My error.

Hi Graham C,

You're welcome! 

TFP, as any other program, has a learning curve, so the best resources are practice + practice + practice. Remember that often the best way to learn is to make a few mistakes.
If you are interested, I wrote 3 e- books that can be used with TFP V17, including a free e-book. See links in my signature
Good luck with your project!
