Hinge Doors On Top

Hi, I am looking for anyone who would know if there is a way to hinge a door from the top. The only way I know is to manually place my holes in part editor. If there is a shorter way I can't seem to find it. Any help would be great. Thanks

i did a cabinet like that, and what i did is build the cabinet on its side
it did not have a adj. shelf but a fixd one that i made as partitian
it was not the greatest cab but it worked
i wish i could send you that cab, but it got deleted

That's right Justin, just build a cab with the door size you need, delete all the parts except the door, take that to your room and it will show up on your list.

Justin,
You can rotate the cabinet, then add your doors. The only problem doing this is that your parameters will stay the same but your cabinet will be rotated. Your width will now be your height, your Heght will be your width, and so on....

Yes, your rails & stiles would be wrong.

Thanks guys for all your replys. I tried doing it like Nemanja but it just wasn't working, I found that putting my holes in manually works better for me. But that my oppinion. What I would really like is for e-cabs to have the option to hinge your door on your top.
