angled shelves

Post by Ray Jorgensen »

Ok I can get a fixed shelf to follow the angle on an angle cab but not the adjustable. Is this right or am I missing something?

I can take the adj. sheves in PE but hey I'm lazy!!!

Thanks

Ray,

There is a selection for Adjustable shelves in the Angle Part.

I'm home now and I can't even get the fixed shelf to give me the option. Both fixed and adjustable are greyed out. Both in the main section and also in the shelf editor part.

Ray,

You must place a Fixed Shelf or an Adjustable shelf in the cabinet first and then the options in Angle cabinet will work.

Thanks Kerry, I was figuring that since the setting is on the Add shelf tab that the setting had to be established before the shelf was added. Got it now.

I know I am resurrecting the dead here but I have a problem with the shelf also.

Mine is a bit different. I can have my deck to follow the angled side but not the shelf. No matter what I do the fixed shelf stays square. I have tried highlighting it before applying the setting, no highlights, shelf in, shelf out (off course this becomes greyed out). No matter what, I can not get the shelf to follow the side.

Also, do I have to set the face frame and door as as display parts?

Thanks

This is crazy. I lost the deck angle and now I can't put it back. It stays square. I really need help with this. I know I must be doing something wrong. I can't imagine this is so difficult, I must be thick.

I can't believe no one has any take on this. Why is this happening and how can I circumvent this problem? I really need to make a cabinet to work in that way.

I guess I can always use the part editor but it is just guess at best for almost all parts.

Here is what I am trying to do but the opposite way. This one was done with the part editor but I am sure it would be easier to do it with the proper tools from the program.

Hi Denis.
You should be able to accomplish this using an angled front corner cabinet. And a second cabinet with everything removed except for the face frame.

Well that sounds interesting. Not quite what I want to achieve, I would like the two doors to open together as in a Lazy Suzan cabinet door but I will give that a go and see if I can pull it off.

Thanks Scott
