I am trying to design a base cabinet that is very simple. It has one door and two slide out trays behind the door. I want to place one tray at the bottom just above the deck and the second tray about mid point in the opening. I can't seem to get my center tray to position correctly in the middle unless I put a mid rail in place. I can add the bottom tray no problem. I set the drawer box to drawer box gap in drawer box editor to 15" then I add the second tray. DBE places the second tray right on top of the second tray.
I've attached a jpg of what I'm trying to achieve. I just don't want the mid rail to be there. If I delete the mid rail after adding the upper tray, the upper tray is deleted as well.
Anyone know what I'm overlooking here?
Thanks.

Re: Problem placing two slide out trays in cabinet
Donald,
In the main area after opening a cabinet click on the DBX button. Place drawers this way. On the second one you will need to set the height of the drawer box (I did mine at 4"). You then set the drawer box settings. The bottom will be set to how high you want the next drawer above the bottom drawer. My drawer is 4" and I set the second drawer at 6" which placed it 6" above the bottom drawer. Hope this helps.

Thanks John. I guess trying to use the drawer to drawer gap settings wasn't the way to go. Your method worked great!
