Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Guys,
Thanks for all your posts. I am going to bow out of this topic for now. After trying to work with the software for a couple of hours and not getting the results I wanted, I bit the bullet and built a scale model of the desk yesterday...something I was hoping to avoid doing, but at least I have ...

Mike,
I was thinking that there is a version of Autocad that does support 3D rendering. Are you possibly using Autocad Lite? Otherwise, why do a lot of these drawing programs tout that they use the same platform as Autocad as the basis for their software?

Dan,
I checked out your video on making the curved panel. You must do this often...you went pretty fast. I'll have to look at it a couple more times, but I think I gathered enough info to get started. I do have several more questions.
Did you develop your tooling before your drew the panel, or is ...

Here is how I plan to build this project. I want to start with two curved panels with a 32" radius to the outside face and one curved panel with a radius of 60" to the outside face. I plan to resaw material to approx. 1/8" thick to make the rails and glue them back together around curved forms. I ...

Sorry for the double replies, guys! I am still getting used to operating this system.

Is this the shape you'd like to archive?

Joseph,
That's exactly the right shape! Nice job!

This can certainly be done but will take a lot of work in the Part Editor.

Will you be cutting the parts on a CNC router or do you just want to create a 3D presentation?

Dan,
I don't have a CNC machine. I am looking to make a 3D rendering for presentation purposes. How many hours are we talking ...

Thanks for all the replies!

Dan:I do not have a CNC machine...I would be cutting out the parts by hand. Right now I just need a 3D full-color rendering for presentation.

Joseph: Nice work! That is exactly the shape for which I am looking!

Mark: I am located in Southeastern Ohio...a fair distance ...

Hello out there! I'm completely green at this sort of thing, but one of the Thermwood team said to use this forum to see if anyone can help.
I have a potential customer who wants a desk custom-made. She thinks she wants it to be kidney-shaped, but would like to see a picture of it before she makes ...
