How do you do short upper cabinets?

Timoth26 · July 2015

Hey, how do you do those short upper cabinets? You know the kind that are above stoves in refrigoraters? I tried to put a cabinet above a frige while building a house but it turns red and says you can't intersect other objects. I figured out how to do corner cabinets. Please let me know. Thanks.

bb.moveobjects on will let you move the cabinet wherever you want. Do select smaller cabinets, click on the wheel in the colour select section and you'll find all the different cabinet sizes.

I sometimes have to turn on the "moveobjects on" cheat for it to work. Just make sure to turn the cheat off when you are done.

1. Select cabinet in catalogue.
2. Select the style swatch.
3. Click the gears to the left to disable auto-cabinets.
4. Select the short cabinet.
5. Place your cabinet.
6. Enjoy your placed cabinet!

I looked at this because I was having a similar problem, but I can't find those gears and MOO isn't helping.

Okay, I finally found how to turn auto counters off, but I can't see the different styles, any thoughts?

After you turn off auto counters, click on the counter style you want. The options will open up beside it.

I hope my series of Screenshots will help.

1. Hold down CTRL, SHIFT + C then enter bb.moveobjects on into the cheat box

2.Turn Auto counters off and go into the cabinet category circled below:

3. Hover over your chosen cabinet in the area I circled below you should see some different coloured lines in the left of the thumbnail picture. Click these coloured lines to open up the colour swatches, you can now chose any colour you want.

4. For the short cabinets you click the spanner and cog icon just left of the swatches. You then select the illustration of the counter I marked with an arrow as shown below:

5. Place your cabinet on the wall wherever you like. You can also change the colour by using the design tool once the cabinet has been placed on the wall.

Hope this helps!
