Sometimes, when I try to place an object from the library into my plan, I receive one of the following messages:
What do these messages mean?
There are several broad categories of objects in the Chief Architect library, including:
This message will display if you try to place an inserted object in an empty space in your plan as though it were a free-standing object, or if you attempt to place an inserted object into/onto a cabinet that is part of an architectural block.
You can place an inserted object on its own in a plan, but be aware that it was designed to be built or inserted into an object like a cabinet and may not look the way you expect. If the cabinet you're intending to place the object into/onto is part of a block, explode the block using the Explode Architectural Block edit tool, insert/place the object, then block the components back together.
For best results, place inserted objects into the items that they are intended to work with.
