Under Counter Appliances

[Gene Davis]

Sinks go into cabinets in Chief's special way. Sinks, sitting atop or under countertops, must have some way of cutting an opening, and the way is the "hole in countertop" thing. A top-mount sink has a CAD block associated with the symbol and one of the polylines in that block, representing its outer perimeter, has the "polyline is hole in countertop" specification.

An undermount sink, if its 3D geometry is brought in from, say, Kohler, needs some work done to its CAD block to make things work as you expect. The reason is that Kohler models for undermounts are real 3D models of the sink unit, with its mounting flanges.

Front-mount appliances in cabinets have another kind of logic going on. Dishwashers, etc. Ovens. Warming drawers. There is no counter top to cut, but Chief will check width and height to see if the symbol will fit. It will center the item both ways on the front as its default result.
