Two piecing large parts

Post by Jamie Irwin »

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.

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.

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.

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.

It would be a nice if there was an automatic option for a jointed part that was larger than the sheet size.
