Re: Adding double doors changes doors width
If you add a gap at the bottom of the Construction Settings dialog for the doors, then it should come out right. I used .125 gap and the doors came out to be 11.75 for all four.
The gap controls the gap between the double doors at the partition.

Re: Adding double doors changes doors width
Dennis,
I think what John is getting at is that if you take the same 48" cabinet with a center partition and using the settings he describes, place a left hinge door on the left opening and a right hinge door on the right opening the doors size properly.
If you place a left hinge door on the left opening and double doors on the right opening the doors size properly
If you place a right hinge door on the right opening and double doors on the left opening the doors size properly.
If you place double doors on both openings there is a bug.
You can work around it by using the gap setting as you describe but that should not be necessary when working off a partition.

Kerry,
That may be. I haven't compared the results of all the combinations. I just always use a gap. Same goes for the stretcher below the upper drawer.
Thanks for the info,
Dennis

Re: Adding double doors changes doors width
Dennis,
I have found through the years that the Gap settings are best set at 0 when your openings are all defined by partitions. It is best to set the all the reveals using the partitions. If you are placing multiple doors or drawers in a single opening then it becomes necessary to use the gap settings.
Many times I get cabinets from users where they have an entry for every gap setting and are trying to set reveals on a partition and don't get the result they are looking for. Usually it is a conflict with the gap settings.
This may not be the correct way of doing things but it gets consistent results. (unless there is a bug like John has found)

Re: Adding double doors changes doors width
Thanks guys for checking into this! I usually don't use the gap settings, but I now know that I can try them out to get the proper result.
Thanks again!
