Hi, I am creating large commerical cabinets where the back of the cabinets are larger than the sheet and table size to cut out.
Is there a way for eCabinets to break the piece in two, maybe create a butt joint in the middle or at the 48" point.

Re: Two piecing large parts
Hi Jamie.
This is totally possible to do with stretchers. I would make the back a Phantom part then uses stretchers for the back. If you could give me a little more info on the particular cabinet i.e. does it have a partition? I would be more than glad to see if I could come up with something that might work for you.

Yes! Oh Yes! I Think We Are Going to make It!

Re: Two piecing large parts
Are you talking about making the back out of a different material.
Then create another cabinet with stretchers the size needed to make the back.
Then have the rest of the parts being the phantom in the that one.

Re: Two piecing large parts
Jamie,
Here is a new version of your cabinet with two stretchers instead of a back. I inset the top, deck, shelves, and partitions using f(x) by the thickness of the left end (since it is the same material as the back). Then, I added a stretcher from the left end to the far right partition and another from the right end to the far right partition. I set the inset for both to be from the left side of that partition and then inset one positively and the other negatively .375" so that a material thickness change will not cause them to overlap. Hope this helps.

Re: Two piecing large parts
It would be a nice if there was an automatic option for a jointed part that was larger than the sheet size.
