Backup Files

There is a great online backup program that is called 'Dropbox.' You all might want to check it out. It is a great way to back up your job files and more. It is free for 2GB of space. You can add more of course for a small fee.

Happy Fourth of July

Celebrate carefully everyone. Remember, our great nation is still free and we can give thanks to all those who fought for independence years ago as a group of people who had had enough and those who still fight for it today. Also, give thanks to a great God who still reigns.

Re: face frame on both sides of an island

Mark, You are not ignorant at all. I have asked similar questions as well. First, to save a cabinet, or anything for that matter you simply use the button up in the left corner of the cabinet editor ( the main screen of eCabs). It is next to the button with the blue X in it. It looks like an old flo...

Re: face frame on both sides of an island

I just thought I had better give an example.

Re: face frame on both sides of an island

Mark,

It might do you well to make a second cabinet and delete all parts except the face frame. Save the face frame and then add it to the other cabinet. Make sure the original cabinet has no back. I hope this helps.

Re: I seek your opinion on the shell on the left

Al, What if you place the inside panels of the knee-hole under the top? They would be stationary and the drawer cabinets would slide out from there. There would be two outside panels and the two inner. That would give support as well as providing a panel for inside knee-hole. The drawer cabinet itse...

Re: Move Cad Files?

Ok, George and Bryan, I found the plugin for sketchup but here is the problem that I am having. I apologize for my ignorance ahead of time. When I save it as an stl. file I open it in eCabinets and it is all black. How do I change the texture or colors after it is in eCabinets? I tried to seperate t...

Desinging Multiple Cabinets

If I designed a bookcase and wanted to build 50 of them how would I get the program to give me a cutlist for 50 cabinets without designing all 50? Is this only possible for using a Thermwood router or can it relate to the cutlist?

Re: Changing Downloaded Images

Thanks guys. Yes, I have posted this previously. I guess I am lazy and don't want to learn a cad program. It sounds like I can do most of what I want to do in eCabinets. Thanks Kerry for the input. I would agree, George Davidson is very good at this. So, it is as I suspected, I need to stretch my br...

Re: X 4 a new computer

Chris,

On the eCabinets website there is a suggested system list for both desktop and laptop. You may want to look at it.

Re: Changing Downloaded Images

Bryan,

Thanks, yes, that much I have been able to do. What I am after is how do you add several colors or texture to one object?

Changing Downloaded Images

Can anyone explain to me how to change the colors on downloaded images? I downloaded a fireplace from the 3d forum and it appears in black only when I open the hsf file. How do I keep the correct colors? Do I need a 3d program or can it be done in eCabinets?

About 24 minutes on my W7 machine. My XP machine took about 40 minutes. Nice job Dean. Thanks so much.
