Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

It seems like we have discussed this several times in the past and the idea of a "regen" button was offered. I agree that a lot of time is wasted with regens happening with every move you make.

I understand the need to regen when, for instance, going from the faceframe editor to the door/drawer ...

Care to explain what bugs you are referring to?

The only problem I see with that Kerry, is when you change materials you would have to recalculate tenon thicknesses.

I never understood why full dado thickness is a static measurement and blind dado thickness is a percentage. To me it makes more sense to allow static or percentage thicknesses for ...

Happy birthday!!!

I usually do add slides as defaults but just added them to a cabinet that I had forgotten to set defaults on (I know, I know...I could've gone back and set the defaults but I didn't :wink: ).

Of course I can't reproduce the 0-0-0 issue. I even rebooted yesterday and was able to reproduce it but ...

I just tried again, starting with a standard base framed. I removed the doors, drawer front, shelf, mid rail and mid stile. Then I set the default drawer box to Standard Drawer.hsf. Changed Construction Settings to add box with drawer front, rear inset 1"; top, bottom, left and right insets .5"; .5 ...

It's just a plain, full dado drawer box that originally came from the standard boxes.

Here is the troublesome cabinet. I can recreate it every time by starting with a standard base framed.

I first noticed the incorrect slide count in another job. I started investigating why the count was wrong and found that even starting with a standard cabinet, the batch count would be wrong ...

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the slide count is correct when 3 copies of the cabinet are placed in a room and nested. This only occurs in batch.

I got one of the images in the wrong place...

Here is the Batch Selection image:

Next steps:

1. Create Cost Sheet.

Slide quantity was 3 instead of 9.

Next Steps:

1. Looked at Buy List for batch.

Slide quantity was 3 instead of 9.

Next steps:

1. Looked at Job Buy List for batch.

Slide quantity was correctly shown as 9.

I first noticed that the number of slides for a batch job was incorrect and started experimenting. Here is what I found (notice the cabinet size issue as well):

1. Started with standard framed base.
2. Removed doors, mid rail and mid stile.
3. Set default drawer box.
4. Added 3 drawers with boxes ...

I know this is a dumb question but, do you have the wall/cabinet selected before trying to zoom? It works fine for me.

See above--one material gets a better yield in horizontal and the other in vertical. Yep, eCabinets nesting...no CNC here.

I don't understand, I've cut it three times and it's STILL too short!
