    Funky kitchen cabinets

    OK has anyone got this problem? I am putting in a kitchen two angled cabinets and then just regular cabinets after that, but for some reason the cabinets are not "linking". They are the same height and everything, but they won't link together.

    Any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance for the advice!!!!!!

    Is the layer for cabinet module lines on?

    Even though the little arrows for the "modules" are not show...when this layer is off...the cabinets will merge.

    Angela,
    I can't replicate the problem other than to suggest this:

    Have a look in 3d to see if you are trying to stick the end cabinet to the face of the standard cab.

    This is where the module arrows are handy to see what you are doing
    I always have my module lines on in 2d and off in 3d
    You can set them to a light colour that will not print in B & W

    side to side and they are facing the correct direction and the layer for module lines are turned off. that is what is making this so weird.

    Have you tried pushing the pair of cabinets by grabbing one handle?
    If they will not move as a pair it means they are not properly oriented.
    How do they look in 3d?
    Can you give us a pic with 2d module lines on?

    I got it to connect. I added more cabinets to one wall and added a stove on the other side and then bumped them back together again like Tim suggested and it worked. I guess that the angled cabinets should be the last cabinet to put in, not the first. Thank you all for your help!!!
