circular/drum cabinets

[John Powell]

hi from down under everyone.
I have been asked to design a kitchen with cabinetry to curve(concave) around a bay window, with a circular/drum style cabinet attatched to one end. I dont have a problem making this in my workshop but would love to be able to show this type of cabinetry on ecabs. I usually make the curved doors from laminated flexi ply which is then veneered.The cabinets are sometimes faceframed and sometimes with overlay doors.I would be very greatful for some guidence as to how to do this in ecabs,
Thanks John.

With Some difficulty John! You are going to have to assemble this one out of edited display panels and cubes I am afraid as there is no curved cabinet ability in eCabs yet.

Something like this? It can't be done.

Hey John
Here are a couple pics of a curved front cabinet I started but never finished because the client decided they didn't want to pay for the curved work. This was to be a sales counter. As stated, it can be done, but you'll have to do a lot of part editor work, and use a lot of display cubes especially if you're using curved face frames. I started with a standard cabinet to get my layout of shelves and partitions, then took each part of the cabinet, deck, top, partitions, shelves to the part editor and cut the radius. It will take some time, but you definitely can do it. I never could get the grain direction right on the front. It always came out skewed after i made my cut.

Thanks for the advice i will give it a go. I have also had the grain direction problem with curved panels before.
