full dados on front edge
I am trying to create a fully enclosed box using full dados. I can't figure how to put dados on the front edges

If you went to construction settings, global settings and changed the cabinet part consrtuction to full dado, you will have to go under each part and change the front construction. If you have any questions feel free to call me.

Re: full dados on front edge
You shouldn't have to change each part to get tenons on the front edges if you change Global Construction to full dado. If you have face frames just check the "Extend to Face Frames" box (see image below) and it will put tenons on the front edges.
Of course this won't help in what you are trying to do Gale. If I understand correctly you are trying to make a completely enclosed cube with full dado construction for all parts. Since you cannot put a solid front on a cabinet except by adding a Display Panel, you will have to manually create the dadoes on the front panel and the tenons on the front edge of the adjoining cabinet parts.

I never got my coffee today. That must be my problem.

Gale, if you use a select sheet stock for your face frames you can get a complete cube with dados. If you need to change the size of your cube you must change the size of the face frame part you use as well. Hope this helps.

Re: full dados on front edge
While waiting for the sun to rise in Dale, I played around with this box. I physically put dados on the front edges in the part editor, I then tried to add a back panel from another cabimet but the back failed to resise with the rest of the box. (that might have been my inexperience). Then I added a MDF door to the front. It came up too small. I fooled around with it a little, inset it 3/4 in, then I set the reveals of the door to -.375 and there it was. every thing resized together. I don't know if it was the best way but it worked.

Re: full dados on front edge
If you have more than one cabinet, it is an assembly. In an assembly, each cabinet must be resized separately.
Likewise if you use display panels/boards, they will not resize and must be recreated in the new size required.

Re: full dados on front edge
Here is my attempt at the "Six Sided Cube". I closed off the "front opening" with a Stretcher with Blind-Dadoes on all four edges. I then used the Adjust Stretcher feature to lock it to the FRONT and to the SIDES.
Don't forget that now, since it is a six sided box, you can manipulate the other joint/part relationships to get the look that you want and then ANY part could be the "FRONT".
