Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

That helps a lot Kerry. I'm just one of those guys that isn't satisfied with just knowing, I need to understand what I know. I should be able to get somewhere now.

Dan, nope no relation that I'm aware of. I'm in East TN. Most of the "Pyle"s come from England. My g.grand father changed our spelling ...

Thanks for the screen shots Kerry. I played with the reveals as per your suggestions, and eventually got the desired front sizes. But this method of trial and error seems awkward and un-intuitive. It'd be nice to understand how the software uses all the reveal settings to get the correct door size ...

Kerry, Thanks for help with this. Typo on the 503, 505 is correct.

I tried a different door and the sizes work out. The design share/Conestoga 1/32 increments make since. I thought I had chosen the CRP10. I'll pay closer atttention to that in the future.

One thing that still puzzles me: In the ...

The round the mm box is unchecked. The door should be 503w x 605h, drawer front should be 503w x 157h. THe cabinet is 508w x 768h.
Reveals: 0mm bottom of door, 3mm gap to drawer front, 3mm top of drawer, 1.5mm L and R.

No edge tape. Using the CRP10 door from the standard library.

Found this in the "Settings/Preferences" help:

"When working with fractions, for both input and display, the system only accepts and displays fractions down to 1/32 inch and all measurements are rounded to the nearest 1/32 inch. If you need tighter dimensions than this, use the "Inches and Decimal ...

I'm in process of building my cabinet library. When I add a door to a cabinet it isn't the right size, based on my reveals. For instance, on a cabinet 508mm wide, 1.5mm reveal L and R, the door should be 505mm wide. But when I check the size of the door I've just added, it is "504.83 (Min. Inc. 0 ...

Thanks guys. That's the kind of answers I was hoping to get--the intial set up process. Since I've been watching the videos and playing around with the different operations, it shouldn't be too difficult, just take a little time.

Thanks for responding.

Jean, yes, the videos do a very good job of teaching you how to edit and save cabinets. I have learned how to do this.
Wally, so are you suggesting to develop the library AND the materials database at the same time or do one then the other?

When do I develop hardware ...

So I've been playing with eCabs (v6 build 4) for a couple of weeks now, watching the online training videos, and have read pretty much the entire help file. I can do most all of the basics -- make rooms, add/edit cabinets, etc. But the thing I haven't yet found either in the videos or on the forum ...
