    Floating cabinets

    This is the first time I've noticed this. Now that cabinets can be set to be relative to the finish floor, they are floating. Apparently the wall elevation tool doesn't pick up the finish floor, unlike the cross-section too. I can't find any way to get the floor to display, other than manually drawing in the finish floor line.

    Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

    Do you have "floor Surfaces" checked in the cross section view?

    Yes. But this isn't a "Cross Section." It is a "Wall elevation."

    Rob,

    I opened a new plan and installed cabinets and they sit on the finished floor. THe subfloor does not display in elevation, only in section.

    Who's Rob, I think you meant Richard, and I concur with Dennis, my cabinets also sit on finished floor in WALL ELEVATION.

    Richard, I see your picture, and they do appear to be floating, you must have something else messed up. Open your cabinets and check where they sit.... something is awry with your plan not CA. CA makes no mistakes, CA is almost perfect. Garbage in, garbage out. Oh gosh.... it might be a long day.

    Hmmm, after a little bit more experimenting, I think this is the result of a legacy plan brought into X3. As it turns out, Chief doesn't draw ANY floor line in the wall elevation view.

    The wall elevation view is clipped to the finished floor, finished ceiling and finished wall surfaces.

    If you do need to see the floor and ceiling layers use the cross section camera.
