New Cabinets Tool

[Habitat43]

Hey there! I recently upgraded to VW 2024 v2, mainly because I was excited about the dynamic cabinets tool showcased in the videos. However, I've noticed that my settings window looks quite different from the one demonstrated in the guides. Oddly, I seem to have fewer options compared to the previous versions, and just so you know, I still have the interiorcad tool from VW 2022 installed. Any thoughts on what might be causing this discrepancy? Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a bunch!

If you are using a custom workspace, the new tools are not installed. Edit your workspace and remove the old cabinet tools and add the new.

 

Or try one of the default workspaces to see what the new tools look like first.

Fantastic! Huge thanks, my friend! Your lightning-fast response did the trick—it worked like a charm. Honestly, it never even crossed my mind!

I removed the legacy custom cabinet tool in my workspace.

 

Opened up VW App and dumped the legacy and custom cabinets in Library - Interiors.

Restarted VW.

 

Still getting this prompt when opening up a file with old cabinets in it (and trying to use new 2024 cabinet tool):

 

 

What else is needed, or where can I find "Folder in current document" and remove legacy cabinets and/or rename it etc?

 

 

In an new document, the Cabinet tool works fine.

 

(Note: separate issue is that Cabinet tool visualization does not feature a plan view of the cabinet with the cabinet front showing - so you can tell if the cabinet is facing the right direction. The dialog for 2D and show drawer front seems to think that one wants to see a drawer pulled out like in that option for 3D (which is unchecked), and so you get a simple 2D rectangle with with another rectangle showing the drawer pulled out a foot or so.) You can class the toe kick so it is graphically useful for that, but not what we would rather see in our plans.

If you look at that current file in the Resource Manager, if there is a Symbol Folder named ‘Cabinets’ try renaming it to something other than ‘Cabinets’.
 

As you learned, VW does not like having anything with the same name.

Woop. Thanks, that worked. Not at all intuitive where FOLDER was pointing to as a RESOURCE issue, (not a tools / Library / Settings issue.)

 

Nice that one can still maintain a renamed Cabinets (Legacy) or whatever symbols folder and also use the Cabinets or Cabinets (new) too.

Also: is there a bug in the settings (or just in my brain) about how to show a cabinet DOOR face in plan mode?
