When adding a new component, moving the cursor up /or down before placement will determine the mounting type <LINK>. There are various ways to change mounting type after the component is in the Design Zonea design zone.

Note

Remember, if changing from off-the-floor to a to-the-floor system, filler may need to be added on the components next to the wall. This may also require changing component widths to accommodate.

Note

Depending on certain the component and parts, certain parts may shift when changing mounting types. If this happens, manually adjust the parts afterwards. You may also notice width changes in components against a wall with floor molding.

Note

NOTE: A warning presents if using thicker material on wall mounted comps due to weight concerns. Clear this with your plan reviewer or ensure the components are floor-mounted.


Globally Change Mounting Types

The program offers additional ways to globally change mounting type for all components in a design using the Set All to Floor/Wall Mounted feature. This is an easy way to show a customer the difference in cost or appearance between the two options. It is recommended to first make a copy of the design so there is always have the original remains in case users need to revert back to.

...


Click on the Settings tab in either the ELV or 3D view. From the Unit Mounting Type section of the ribbon toolbar, select Set All Floor Mounted or Set All Wall Mounted.

 

When the Auto Update Height feature box is checked, it will lock the height of certain parts (such as hanging poles) when the toe kick is added. This ensures that the distance between the hanging pole and the floor (the hang height) remains the same. However, this will change the top shelf height to accommodate.

...

Info

When switching to a wall mount, support cleats <LINK> may automatically be added depending on par length.

Image Added

When the Auto Update Height feature box is unchecked, the top shelf height does not change when switching mounting types, and a warning symbol will display to indicate the height under the hanging has changed.
Either adjust the height of the poles, or simply click on the warning to make it disappear.

Note

This is important to be aware of

...

as a customer may require a very specific hang height for items, which has now been compromised.
