I have this one cabinet that I am working on that has been really dogging my computer down. Trying to add a few FF components and it will sit there and twirl the computer around for 4 minutes worth of rendering. I was watching the task manager performance displays and noticed what the page memory wa...

I have a library job coming up and I want to use solid stock for the shelving that will carry books. Is there a way to use solid stock instead of sheet stock? I saw another thread that said to make a special sheet stock and then treat it like it was solid. Is this the only way to do this, with a che...

How do you make the system understand that if you have a long cabinet with partitions that you want the backs to go from partition to partition instead of one solid back. I have an upper that is 64\" tall and 91 1/2\" long. It has two vertical partitions that separate the unit into 3 disti...

I changed the orientation in the nest to vertical, that seemed to do it. We'll see as I do more jobs. I check the box anyway to make sure. Thanks Thom.

I am starting to look at the outputs of the nesting from a job, and the parts are not arranged according to the grain direction. I have sides of cabinets the have the grain going the wrong way and it set the shelves up with the grain going from front to back instead of side to side. What do I need t...

I understand that it is only to be used as an estimating process. I spent some time trying to define my terms into an hourly configuration. I set up a ratio of milling:assy:finish seeing as they are closely related, maybe not exact but they are based on a somewhat sized based relationship. Only the ...

I just started to get into the define costs area in the program. In its present form it is not compatible with the way I do my cost estimating. My standard way to price things is by the lineal inch and per component. I usually start with $15.50/ lineal inch for cabinets then I add in a standard doll...

Cool cheat. Tried it out and it worked great. Thanks for the tips.

Did it, looked a t the information and changed the virtual settings on my machine. Still only have one hard drive, so I don't know how much this will accomplish. I have just started to put hardware on my cabinet (knobs and pulls) and when I render the final picture it really dogs down on the hardwar...

Hey Dan, I went to eCab World to the lounge area and the amount of registration info they want is ridiculous, and I won't give that much info out. Any way you could post the virtual memory tip here?

Is there a way to draw ellipses in the parts or contour editors or am I destined to use true arcs and pseudo ellipses? Also, when I do my final presentation renditions the lighting is somewhat harsh. If I make it bright enough to see the cabinets well it washes out the floor with blinding white ligh...

They went away for me. I took your cabinet to the partition/shelf editor and deleted the partition. Then I went back to the main editor and they were gone. Then I went back and I added two partitions and and went to the main editor and there were holes for both partitions. Then I went back into the ...

OK, here is what it looks like. Not for anything to build, just to show it can be done. It is set up improperly to show the effect. Usually the spaces in between the flutes are constant and the top and bottoms of the combined flutes is different, top being smaller. What I did is do the usual thing t...

OK, I did it, but I cheated. I put the flutes in the pilaster and then I tapered the entire length of the board using a tool. Then when I went to place it on a cabinet I had to apply some rotation to make the front of the pilaster parallel with the front of the cabinet. Is there another way to do so...

I finally figured out how to make a flute look correct on a pilaster. Now I need to make a tapered flute for a pilaster. This would be using a 1\" corebox bit starting at a depth of .5\" and ending at a depth of .375\" over a length of 62\". Is this even possible? I've tried a fe...
