Kitchen island cabinets
How do you place cabinets back to back to create a kitchen island cabinet in custom layout?

Re:
Geez, I guess I'm out of the loop being absent for a while. Still I'll have to try it. Did they have any tips for the wall cabs? Or back to assemblies?Terry Davis wrote:I just took the class out in Dale last week and thats how Dan taught us to do islands with cabinets back to back. I wanted to ask how to do an upper island cabinet with doors on both sides and I forgot...

Terry,
To add doors to the backside of an upper or lower cabinet - select \"no back\" in the settings of your cabinet and add another cabinet the same size. On this cabinet remove all parts except for the face frame. You can then rotate the face frame 180° and align it to the back of your original cabinet.
You will need to save the cabinet as an assembly.

I had the same questions about 2 months ago. I guess kitchen islands are something that thermwood team should pay some attention to. So far eCabinets has worked great for us as far as square boxes are concerned. Our company works with lots of curves and also angled and recessed parts you really have to learn to cheat with the program to build cabinets and parts like that. Let's not say that the moment u start cheating the program gets really buggy. I have been working on some assemblies for the past 2 days and even simple actions in a group of cabinets makes the program to crash.
Anyways back to the topic. When I did the islands I used some panel parts and just added them and saved the whole group as an assembly. No hardware holes or dado construction. Pretty much I just cut some parts for the cabinet makers.
You can design a lot of stuff in eCabinets for presentation purposes but the bottom line is that the program is a tool for a better use of a Thermwood router. It's secondary to the machine. It's the main advertising tool of the company's router. So please make some progress in that direction. Make it more flexible and less buggy.
Don't get me wrong I love your router. I does all I want it to. But the program can help it a lot more. I know you are working on it so good luck.
P.S. I guess those assemblies really got me offline
