Cabinet Error Message - Not enough vertical space
Sorry if this is a duplicate post....
Anyone ever deal with this error message? Each time I try to place an upper on floor 1, inside or outside, I get this error:
Not enough vertical space, could not create new cabinet module
The only way I can install and upper cabinet is to place it on floor 2 then copy past on floor 1. Rather messed up I would say.

Kay,
I don't have enough information.
What are your defaults for wall cabinets?
Vertical size and position?
What is the backsplash height?
Are the backsplashes a part of the base cabinets or is it a "Custom Backsplash"?Joseph P. Carrick, Architect - AIA

Does this help? I am not sure what you mean by, "vertical size and position."
Is that info in the screen shots above, or do you mean X-Y coordinates?
Thanks for taking a look at this! I had this same problem WAY back in Chief 10. Did not solve it then either. I just put my cabinets in on the second floor and moved them down. That is the "furniture stacker" way to get it done.

Kay,
I am unable to reproduce your problem. My guess was that there was a soffit or something between the ceiling and the top of the 42" tall cabinet that prevented it from fitting. But when I tried to test that, Chief automatically reduced the Wall Cabinet to fit in the available space.
Is it possible you are using a predefined cabinet (user Library item) that is fixed at 42" tall?Joseph P. Carrick, Architect - AIA

I don't think the problem is the cabinets. I think it is something else in your plan that is messing things up. Maybe a problem with your room definition or some other object that is not visible. If you post the plan, I am pretty sure that some one could figure it out without guessing. If all else fails, I would call tech support.

Nope, it is just a plain ole cabinet from the library. As far as I know, it is pretty generic.
The error message is very specific. Makes me think I am not the ONLY CA user to run into this problem, but I only found ONE other forum post about this error. On HomeTalk. No real resolution there either.
Time to use my SSA I think.

OK, here's what I think.
You are using a Library Cabinet 42" tall located 54" from the floor. If the Ceiling Height is less than 96" clear then the Library Cabinet won't fit and you get the error message. The "Place from Library" is different than using Chief's standard cabinets from the menu or toolbar - which will automatically be resized if there isn't sufficient room. As far as copying from the second floor, that function is not so picky about fit.Joseph P. Carrick, Architect - AIA

Hey Joe,
That makes perfect sense, but these people do not have anything lower than a 10 ft ceiling in the whole house. Totally bizarre that I cannot put a 42" cabinet into a room with a 12' ceiling. There are no soffits, boxed down ceilings, or anything in the way.
I just did a test. I changed the defaults on the cabinets and placed them into a room with 12 ft ceiling:
- Base cabinet - 15ft tall - YEP
- Full height wall cabinet - YEP
- Wall cabinet -1 inch tall - NOPE!
Chief will not allow me to put a wall cabinet or soffit outside either. Color me confused.
