I searched 35 pages of old posts but didn't find this one so I apologize if it is a duplicate...
I need a triangular shaped base end of run cabinet - 24x24 triangle shaped open case with shelves. For example, a back and one side with the other side at 0 and the top, deck and toe kick angled to match. Can you either help me or direct me to the post describing same? I know I could do this in part editor but it seems like there should be an easier way.
Thanks, Rob

I believe part editor is your only way. There is a recent post about doing a top cabinet like you are describing. The part editor could be a little more user friendly, but it will get it done.

Re: base 45 degree angle cabinet
Rob,
I believe this post details how to make an upper cabinet like you describe. You should be able to use the same technique to make a base cabinet. For some reason the link doesn't seem to be working right now. Give it a try though, maybe you'll have better luck than I.

Rob,
I did a cabinet similar to what you are describing. I used my CAD program to design it then used my 3D carving software to layout the parts on a 4x8 sheet of material and cut them that way. It seemed to work well.

Re: base 45 degree angle cabinet
Thanks for the replies. I think I figured out how to fake it into doing it. Created a sheet stock of 0.002" thick. Took a base cabeint and made teh right end the thin sheet and the rest of it 3/4" material. Took the right back and made it back flush and took the right end and made it front inset 23.247", leaving a .003 x .002 piece of side. Then I angled the top, deck and toe. When we assemble it, we can deal with the .002 x .003 flat on the tapered end. Looks OK in eCabs so I am giving it a try. I can filter out the right side when I cut. Am going to try to cut it Saturday.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.

Worked out. I had to create a material of 0.002" thickness for right end and will have to cut in a toe kick on right back but otherwise all good.
