Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Rick, I don't even use the door editor/designer/whatever-it's-called anymore; I just use a Faceframe cabinet with all parts except the back and faceframe deleted. Below is the same door, back, front, rotated. (Because it's white the detail of the back isn't very good, but you get the idea.) The reas...

Why? 'Cause you da man..... 8) You selflessly give a LOT of your time to others to make this forum and eCabs better and better. Don't make me start a poll and embarass you..... :wink: Seriously, I'm just happy to give something back to this place, it's helped me so much and inspired me. I love these...

Michael, I've just begun doing shop drawings, and was a bit apprehensive about whether or not they looked 'professional'. However, after trying out a few looks, and submitting them to a cabinet company (reseller) who in turn showed them to the builder, his carpenters and the homeowner, I got great f...

...Not to mention a pretty major HD crash here last week which left me with my original computer to run eCabs on - not pretty... Ouch...back to 32bit eh? Great instructions Mike! Something else that is good about these instructions are that they illustrate how to shape the side of a display cube--s...

Again, apologies for not posting this earlier, I'm remodelling my own house as my wife and I are expecting twins and just haven't had much time to dedicate to eCabs lately. (Not to mention a pretty major HD crash here last week which left me with my original computer to run eCabs on - not pretty.) I...

We're finished.

Now you can treat it like any other display cube:
Export Selection and make it a Display Object
Save it as an assembly
Associate to a cabinet
etc.

Below are a coupla shots of the rendered results.

When you're done, click Return at the bottom of the screen, click Yes to keep the changes.

Once back in the Cabinet Editor, select the display cube, right click, choose Rotate Item, and rotate it 270 degrees on the Y axis.

If you previewed the result, then click on the arrow icon to get our display cube back with the blue path along the edge. Next, select our path the same way we did the 1st time, select our tool again, and input the Plunge Depth for the 2nd flute (refer to the Excel worksheet again) in this case -2 7...

Next, from the resulting popup menu, choose the tool (.tol) file we created earlier. Doubleclick it when you select it, or single click it and then click the View button on the menu as well. Because we created our tool to work horizontally and centered it's plunge on the X axis, we can create our fl...

Here is a shot of our path properly selected. Once it's selected, it's highlighted red and green, and a Next button appears at the bottom of the screen. Click the Next button.

Because our ease path is so short, we'll need to zoom in to select it without selecting anything else. Zoom into the bottom portion of our display cube, choose Chain from the options at the bottom of the screen, then select the end of our ease path.

Once we're back in Part Editor, choose the Path tool by clicking on it's icon.

Use the input box at the bottom of the screen to input these coordinates:

10 1/2,7 (enter)
10,7 3/8 (enter)

10,7 3/8 (enter)
10,89 5/8 (enter)

10,89 5/8 (enter)
10 1/2,90 (enter)

Then return to Part Editor.

Once you are in Contour Mode, and have used the Excel worksheet to determine your coords, it's time to input them.

Select Line Mode.

We're going to be using (x,y) coordinates again, and I've written a small worksheet in MS Excel that does all the math for us. It's included here, along with a screenshot. It's pretty self-explanatory, you only need to input your numbers in the top row. The other cells are all results of the formula...
