I just used the rotate tool and part editor to create the look of the hood - I did not cut the hood out from this file

Tin thanks for the reply, I down loaded your file and got 4x8 display board, ??
I up loaded my vent hood, it is very crude.
The only way could make it was to use two cabs but I could not find a way to associate the two cabs as one. Can you or someone else improve on the file I uploaded?

You are correct, you can not save 2 cabinets as 1 but your assembly will work just like a cabinet in your room
As I said I did not cut my hood it was for show only. I looked at yours and if that is what you need then it is just right.
If you are planning to cut it out and build it I might suggest changing the cabinets to frameless and letting your doors cover to the edges.

You are on the right path :D
