QUESTION
I would like to display my closed cabinet doors and drawers in a floor plan view. I have the "Cabinets, Doors & Drawers" layer set to display, but these components aren't appearing. What am I missing?
ANSWER
By default, cabinet doors and drawers do not display in plan view when they are closed, even when the "Cabinets, Doors & Drawers" layer is set to display. You can, however, check the Show Closed Doors/Drawers in Plan Views setting located in the General Cabinet Defaults dialog if you would like all cabinets to be affected, or enable the Show Open settings with a Percent Open/Swing Angle value of 0 for a single cabinet.
