Increase size of rails and stiles

[Tom Giacchina]

Hi

I am using the TW-10 Conestoga as the basis for a door. I want the stiles/rails to be 4" wide for that modern look. I can set the width in the sizing details for cut list but it doesn't change the view of the door. I would like to "see" this so I can determine the looks of door / drawer layouts. Any ideas on how to do this?

Tom, you can take a MDF door and profile the door with a raised panel tool and apply it to the cabinet for display purposes. The grain will run the wrong way on the rails, but you be able to get a feel for the proportions of your layout. Here are two doors. The one on the left is a mdf door with 4" rails/styles, the one on the right is the standard conestoga crp-10

Thanks I am new to this. Which profile tool did you use? I tried a bunch both interior and exterior with no change when resetting the image.

Here's a 5 piece door with 4" rails and stiles, which is actually a cabinet. (It has all parts deleted except the face frame and back.) Resize as you would any other cabinet.

Tom,

go to the "Door/Drawer Front Designer" icon

Select Source:
a.Thermwood
b.Standard
c.Thermwood Standard Door
d Layout Tab
1: Stile Width
2: Rail Width
e. Save door

Then you will have a door like Mike Seisser designed.
I forgot about this method.

Tom, use a Thermwood door template and you can make the stiles and rails what you want.

Thanks that was easy!


Now as an assembly when I drop it in as an upper cabinet with doors, it is putting it on the floor. How do I raise them or not lose the spec from upper cab to assembly.

Never mind I figured out that I can save the cab with doors as a cab, therefore it keeps its construction info. I need to do so more reading on when to use assemblies. Thanks for all of the responces.
