radius cuts in part editor

I am trying to draw some corner shelves for beside a kitchen sink. I have built them before with just a simple radius on the front corner but can't figure out how to draw it in part editor. I can draw a filled radius and cut that out but I want to cut off the outside part if you know what I mean. Here are some pics of the shelf. thanks.

Can you attach the .HSF file?

Is this what you are looking for?

Thats what I'm looking for. How do you do it? This is the file. I just grabbed some boards and put them together. Is it better to start with a cabinet?

Yes, just delete one side & use fixed shelves. Just take each shelf or top or deck. You might as well design 1 left & 1 right for your library.

Ok I'll build it that way. I still don't know how to put that curve on the outside of the shelf. Any help with that would be appreciated. Kent

Kent,

I used the Standard Base Frameless cab from the Standard Cabinets directory. Delete the left side, change the toe kick settings to 0" and then turn OFF the toe kick. Next, add your shelves. (BTW I sized the cab to 12" w x 12" d x 24" h) Select the top, take it into Part Editor, and use the Fillet tool.

For the 12" square shelves, I used a 12" radius (entered in the box at the bottom of the screen when you choose the Fillet tool) then just click once on each of the 2 exposed edges - whichever edges you want cut and you're done. Then do the same with the shelves and the bottom.

If you need more explicit instructions let me know.

Mike

Thank ya'll very much. I thought I had tried that tool and it didn't work but works just like it's supposed to. Thanks for quick help.
