I have added a display panel, but I can't snap or drag it into position Shift left click on the cabinet, the whole cabinet will highlight (not cross hatched, but highlight) left click without shift on the panel it will be cross hatched - now when you mouse over the cabinet in spo...

You are trying to rotate something that can't be rotated, like a door or drawer front - if you need to rotate one of these you will have to create it from a display door or drawer front then it will rotate.

Hope this helps

Yes this is very complex software, the video was referring to placing 2 cabinets together to make one. But what you are trying to do is a little simpler. Picture it this way, what would you do in real life to cover the back of the ugly cabinet? Cover it with a panel made from plywood? Then add a dis...

Still struggling with applying a 3/4 plywood back up 4" off the floor. The corner cabinet in the library has a clipped back corner which I don't want. Why can't we just select a part and edit the size? A little more info please. Are you using a display panel? is it associated to the wall ?? wh...

Yes if you have it selected it should work. If you click on a part of a cabinet it might not - to know for sure, select the item then right click on the screen, is the "Rotate" faded or is it available ? If it is available then the yellow arrow should work

If you don't want to cut it - when in cabinet editor right click and select "phantom part" mark the stretcher as a phantom part and it wont cut.
Happy to see you have a solution

Try using a stretcher it will resize and if you don't want to nest it, make it a phantom part

You would be better off using a display board (if you use solid wood for fillers) or a display panel (if you use plywood for a filler) either way they will show up on the cut list and nest. Do Not forget to associate the display board or panel to the cabinet then save. This would let you have a fram...

Well my first 3d object turned out ok - used a 3d sketchup item and used Accu trans to save as stl files then imported in ecabs

can use this? you will need to add another cabinet to use just the face frame on the back and a display board for the toe kick then save it as an assembly

So you want to use a corner base and 1 side will be the peninsula, right?

hello James

welcome to ecabinets!

Possibly the tool for pocketing has been changed - your pockets are small and you may have used an 1/8" bit before and now your pocket tool is set to a 1/4" ???

are you cutting deep enough to get below the upcut part of the cutter?

Try the stretchers you will have to Play with it a little but I added one and gave it a negative inset to put it outside the cabinet and then lock the top and bottom inset and it resized with the cabinet
