mike m oz Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Vectorworks Architect 2017 has a new Custom Cabinet object and it is very good. Worth exploring but please read the Help section first so you understand how it works. It looks as if it is an object from the InteriorCad add on. https://en.extragroup.de/interiorcad/cabinet-maker/ 3 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 15, 2016 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 15, 2016 Good eye! It is indeed from that plugin. I hope to see more of their product make its way into the main application. Quote Link to comment
Chris Fleming Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Just found this. I don't seem to have the functionality you speak of. My cabinet objects act and appear as they always have in the past. What am I missing? I have interiorCad for VW2014, but not for VW2017 since InteriorCad is lagging very far behind Vectorworks on their upgrade cycle. Quote Link to comment

Or you see Base Cabinet, Wall Cabinet etc, but not Custom Cabinet? Quote Link to comment
Chris Fleming Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Sorry Jim, I just found it. It is VERY rudimentary (at best). I love interiorcad's ability to represent real world cabinetry, but hate being chained to VW Arch 2014 in order to use it. When I found this thread, I was hoping to gain the ability to control drawer front sizes, etc. The vectorworks tools do not allow that. It gives less than satisfactory results (from a design standpoint, IMO). Place a 3 drawer stack, a standard cabinet, and a 4 drawer stack side by side to see what I mean. In the real world, all top drawer fronts should be the same height. I'll keep watching to see if that functionality ever pops up. As soon as it does, I'll kick Interiorcad to the curb! Thanks for the quick reply! Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I will be looking at the custom cabinet as part of a Novedge webinar this month: https://novedge.com/webinar/241 1 Quote Link to comment
