I love the new 3D symbols that are rendered for o2c. I have a project that the client desired a taller upper cabinet, a lighter color wood and a different front and pull than the ones that I found in DataCAD 13. Can someone show me the steps to tweak the ones that are in the symbol library and save them for reuse in another project. I couldn't find this in the DataCAD users manual. I know that you control right click of the mouse but don't see where you can change the pull type or change the glass to wood and such.

Open them in the Symbol Editor and change them -- Control-Right Click on the unexploded symbol, and select Edit. Once you have changed them, you can do a Save As and use a new name and save it to the folder where you want it. When you exit the SE, don't save (if you have done the Save As). Then do a Replace -- Control-Right Click is a very powerful thing!

Thanks Neil. I am just getting use to the Control-Right Click thing. You can Control-Right Click on many different entities these days.
