jgmrussell Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Hi Group, I apologize for duplicated posts, I am having a tough time figuring out how to navigate to here, wow. Anyway, my question is when I generate a Board List of a cabinet, I used to get proper descriptions, such as sides, stretchers etc. in previous versions if iCad. Now in 21 I'm getting Custom Part in the description box. Is there a setting or way to have part names assigned properly? Also, I want to round up to 1mm. I'm getting measurements of 69.3mm etc. Where can I do this. Thank you. John Quote Link to comment

Is there a setting or way to have part names assigned properly? If it's a cabinet object, parts are named automatically. Like you said: side, stretcher etc. If it's a custom part, you can assign a custom name via the "construction" button in the OIP. (We had a bug where any new name did not take properly. Can you download and install this version please: http://upload.extragroup.de/IterationBuilds/Bockschus2021/installer/zip/interiorcad2021-F3-E-MacOS.zip http://upload.extragroup.de/IterationBuilds/Bockschus2021/installer/zip/interiorcad2021-F3-E-Win.zip) Let me know how you get on!

MartinaL Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Good morning, any news about the topic above? As for a similar question, I'm trying to customize unit groups, changing names (description) and description to make it easier for me to use it, but no change seems to do anything, it goes back to how it was for example if I change the name of "Side" in "Laterali" it goes back to his original name. Am I doing anything wrong? Thank you, Martina Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Stephan Moenninghoff Posted November 29, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 29, 2021 No, we don't allow it. We will need to make some changes to this as users have been quite unhappy about it but this change will have a lot of side effects and is a big project. 1 Quote Link to comment
