Puzzle F/Frames

Post by Chris B Campbell »

haven't used this feature in a while but had the opportunity this last week. Problem I am having is it appears you CANNOT use a material with a larger thickness dimension then .75". I have veneered sheets that are .765" it will not even show up in page 2 of the construction settings as a usable sheet stock material... Is it me?

Thanks,
Chris

Chris,

If this is on eCabinets then make sure you have selected Sheet Stock using the Material Type drop down menu on page 2 then you can select different sheets that you have in materials.

Hey Kerry,
Yeah I know but what I noticed is that NONE of my sheet stock that is larger than .75" is in the drop down... Can you get a larger thickness that 3/4 to show up in your drop down thickness menu??

Thanks,
Chris

Yes, I just added a 1" material.

Make sure your sheet stock has the correct thickness listed in preferences.

well what the heck am i doing wrong? I have all my other thickness's showing up but anything over the .75 is not there!
Tried again.. Define materials, stock type sheet, name Irwin Veneer, Length & width 4x8, thickness .765", Cost 75.00, Grain Checked, single side not checked, Image Rift Red Oak... Add. All good so far. Check in FF editor not there. I also have a 1" material a 1.5" material none of which will show up... Anyway I just increased the tolerances so I could get the cut i needed but something ain't right here.

Thanks again Kerry.

Chris,

Make sure you are set to Inches and Decimal in Preferences. if you are set to Inches and fractions it rounds the .765" to 3/4"

I think you could also enter your material as a nominal 3/4" and then enter the actual thickness .765" when you write the TWD file to cut.
