@napwszzm rerun the updater and you should see update 4a - works a charm.
Thanks Ross,
After a couple of hours of trying, I managed to get VW24 SP4a running now.

I had a similar problem before after installing VW24 SP4 and did what exactly you tried to solve it.
Later this afternoon, after a third tried, I managed to get VW24 SP4 running.
What I did was as follows: First uninstall VW24, and second, restore the Graphic card settings as the below image shows. After re-installing the VW 24 and SP4, it's back to working again, so far.
Hope this could help you to get VW24 back to work again.

Hi Pete. Just a fui, that didnt work, thankfully I had a full VW24 sp2 install which i reinstalled and then updated back to 3.1 which is working fine. I'll just wait until I see news of sp4 being fixed or sp 5 coming out.
Cheers
Hi Andy,
I installed AUS/NZ VW 24 SP4 yesterday, the VW 24 was not loading, then I used the updater to fix it, still no hope.
I would like to ask how did you change back to SP3.1?

Thanks a lot for the solutions here.
It's a double left click at the " Snapping Set" that brings the show/hide window back.
Thanks again.

Hello,
Does anyone know where to find the checkbox of "show 3D grid axes" in VW24? I have been using a lot this function in VW23, but after spending an hour seraching on Google and exploring VW24, I still can't find it.
In VW23, there was a toolbar at position A that allowed users to tick the box to show/hide the 3D axes.
Thanks,

When I translate the webpage the release notes themselves remain in German:
If you are using Google Chrome, select the text and then right click, there is one option of Translate to English. Alternatively, you can copy and paste the German text into Google Translate.

That's interesting: that info is not available on the English website as far as I can see.
It is not even on their German version release note: https://conf.extragroup.de/im/latest/release-notes
And it is better to stay close to their Extragroup.de website for the release notes.

Hi,
I haven't done this ballbearing runners before in IC. But would in be easier to duplicate a undermount sliders replace the undermount drawer with ball bearing slider?
Or save it as 3D object then insert as bought-in part in the Cabinet 3D?

Hello,
The update information is available on Extragroup official website: https://www.extragroup.de/interiorcad/updates/interiorcad-service-select/. I normally use Chrome to open this website as it can translate for me.
If you have the Service Select you should be able to download their latest release. I personally recommend waiting to their update(F5 or F6) with drawer tool fixed, if you are building up a large kitchen modules, the current update F4.1 tool is not very pleasant.

Strange (that Enscape asks)
But you can activate Unified View by activating VW Preferences / 2D legacy Tab
activation and now you can open (simplified *) Unified View Icon and Settings
in Quick Settings Bar again.
(*) some of the older Unified View Settings went to first left Tab of VW Preferences.
Like "ignore Layers with different scale" and such ....
Hi Zoomer,
Thanks a lot for your help. I followed your instruction and Enscape is working now!
Thanks again!!!

Hello team,
I have a question related Unified View.
I am modelling a kitchen space, but when I was trying to render the scene, The Enscape asked me to enable Unified view. Not sure what how did I disable the Unified View in VW?
Much appreciated for your help.

When I draw a new cabinet (using Cabinet 3D) it has two sides, top and bottom. But all are of arbitrary thickness, in my case .787 (20mm) . The same thing happens for cabinet doors.
1 -- I'm using 18mm plywood. How do I set a default that will specify .709 (18mm) v. .787 ?
2 -- Cabinet door overlays and offsets are also preset. How can I change these?
3 -- If I need to reconstruct files, which ones and how?
Thanks,

Hi Dave,
I am not sure if my answer is relevant of not, but will give a try.
You might need to set up the Units before builidng up your cabinet library, this will save you lots of time from cabinet adjustments later. I have attached a couple of pictures below:
You need to give one extra decimal number to increae the accuracy.
It's better to save the settings as a template for future jobs.
I hope my answer is helpful.

Ok, I don't mind having a look at your library files but you need to upload them please:
Thanks!
Hi Stephan,
I just spent an hour to clean the screws I created before. Also, I used the example file to create a new screw.
I have again start from scratch to build my library.
At this stage, I have built a few simple boxes to test.
It seems working right now.
The problem might coming from the sample screw which only has a drilling instead of two. I forgot this small detail that you mentioned a couple of months ago.
Thanks again for your follow up, much appreciated.

Just a quick update on the situation: we are aware of the insertion bug with messed-up drillings and are working on a fix.
@napwszzm I cannot tell from looking at the document what is going on, I need your custom drawer library for that. I assume you wnet through interiorcad -> fittings -> Edit / Adapt Fittings Library and then chose Drawer Boxes, Drawer Profiles etc.? I need those files from your user folder under /Libraries/Defaults/Custom Part/.
One of the most common mistakes users make is to mess up the groups in the custom fittings, or they delete record formats. Record formats that are attached to groups will also be deleted if that group is ungrouped. We provide a sample geometry with each library document that can be used as a guide how to set up your custom fittings. It is advisable to use this sample geometry as a starting point.
Hi Stephan,
Thanks for your reply.
The drawer actually was Blum Antaro from Interiorcad library, it wasn't a custom made drawer. I did not change anything in the custom part settings.
The only thing I concern is the drilling locations are not in the right place. When I changed the dimension of the drawer, the drillings, drawer positions are not changed parametrically, which showed in the early post.
Thanks for your time again.

I have contacted Extragroup about the drillings, they are aware of the problem. For the other, I do feel your pain. There must be a setting in your drawer box setup that's causing the issue. I tried saving a symbol with one of my drawer boxes and it does adjust with the cabinet width. I can't seem to see your drawer box details in your file, but they don't look quite right...
Hi Ride,
Thanks a lot for your help. I chose the drawer set from Interiorcad library, it was Blum drawer. Please see the attached picture for what I did. I did not select the back bracket and front connector/gallery rail.
I do not worry about the concept drawing, as long as the drilling data is accurate, the production to the cabinets shouldn't be a big issue.
The annoying thing is the drillings are messed up when I changed the cabinet size in Interiorcad.
At this stage, I do not use Interiorcad for complicated furniture modelling, but only simple MDF kitchen carcass with screw holes and some other connector holes like 3mm, 5mm, 8mm, 10mm and 35mm.
I was expecting Interirocad can handle this drilling insertion rules very well, as the units are all simple squared boxes.
At the moment, the programming time is very substantial as I need to put more efforts to check each cabinet's drilling etc. It doesn't work efficiently on simple jobs.
Anyway, I do hope Interirocad will be stable in the near future.
Thanks

Hi,
Addition to my previous problem, here is another common problem after select cabinet from library.
All the drillings are messed.
Not sure if the latest update 2021 F4's problem, but i have attached the picture to show my interiorcad version info here.

Hello,
Can someone give me some hints on how to save or build drawer properly.
I built a standard Blum drawer, and saved to Symbol in Interiorcad (pic 1).
Then I reuse the cabinet, and change the size from 600 to 900mm, then the drawer boxes are not stretching (Pic2).
I have attached the file here, and it would be very grateful if someone can help.
I been using Interirocad for a while but mainly on simple design purpose, and i found it always have small problems in the new Cabinet 3D tool. I wish it can be more stable in the future.
Thanks a lot.

You need to use the cabinet tool and then choose the saved preset from the mode bar. It doesn't work if you insert from the resource manager.
Hi Stephan,
Thanks a lot for your solution. 😀
I still have the "drag and drop" concept/habit with me when using Ineterirocad, so it takes me sometime to get used to the new way of using Interiorcad.
Thanks a lot for your reply again.

Hello,
I need help or advices on how to save a cabinet to library properly. I have done many tastings, but failed to get the expected result. So I come here for help.
I created a custom cabinet with drillings, and saved that unit as a symbol named BCxx in the picture 1.
And then, I tried to open the BCxx cabinet in the current and a new VMX file, all the drillings are missing.
I have to manually apply them back by hand. This means all the saved drillings are missing. It's just a blank box now.
It seems Interiorcad lost the connection to library components. Do I have to reinstall Vectorworks and Interirocad?
It will be much appreciated if someone can help.

Hi,
Sorry for my question again.
I had searched around and watched all interiorcad video tutorial, I still can't find a solution for kitchen corner cabinet design.
Can someone give me an indication of how to design a kitchen L shaped corner kitchen unit?
Also, I would like to ask can Interiorcad "convert to cabinet" function convert a shape that has more than four sides?
It seems the function can't covert the C,D E shapes. Also, when I tried to convert the shape B, it generates a very different cabinet A.
Sorry for so many questions.
I hope the Ineriorcad expertise can give me some hints.
Many thanks.

Hi,
I would like to know is there a fast way to change the door style in a job?
For example, Customer A wants shaker doors for a kitchen, but he/she changed the mind and opt for flat melamine doors.
My questions here: Is there a fast way to change all the doors from one style to another?
Instead of editing each cabinet, is there a quick way to change the door style for all cabinets in one or a few clicks?
Also, is there any similar principle or function for changing handles?
Thanks again and sorry for my questions.

Hi @Marcel Ostendorf and @Stephan Moenninghoff,
Thanks a lot for the information.
I checked the sample screw, I think I did remove the 4mm drilling.
Now, I apply the new screw in the library, and the problem solved.
Thanks again for your help. 😀

Hello,
I am new to Interiorcad, so can someone show me how to make drilling grid working properly.
Currently I am modeling some kitchen units that using screws to joint the units. When I applied the drilling grids and changed the cabinet dimensions, the quantity and the position of the drillings is not changing properly. I have attached the picture for the problem here:
1. First, I applied the connector and drilling grid that supplied Interiorcad (I did not change anything on drilling position), and made a 720h x 560d x 600 sample box,
2. I changed the cabinet size to 900x 800 x600, the drillings then are at wrong place. I tried different drilling grids, it seems the problem is still there.
Can someone tell me how to apply the drilling grid properly?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
You could enter the dimensions in the space "A", or you can click "B" to translate the linear descritor to numbers.
Here is the link of IC2023 manual: https://icmanual.scrollhelp.site/im/2023.a/division-tab
Hopefully it helps.
