Idea for the stretcher delima (Gene)

Gene, as well as others have run into this issue with the front stretchers.

This is also my preffered method of constructing my sink bases. (so many times the plumbers have ripped out our front stretchers to install the sinks.)

Idea...

Allow the stretchers to be rotated. (just like the stretcher editor)

Michael,
YOu can turn the strechers down, this is what I do for my sink bases in frameless.

I am sorry for the confusion. I was refering to the front top stretchers

Hey Mike,
For a sink base, I just use no top and then use the up/down strecher, I also use 3/4 material for the back and this way there is nothing in the way of the sink and no carving up the cabinet to get the sink in.

This may be fine except how do you get the drawer front on?

You just screw through the strecher into the drawer stile, or wherever you like if it is a slab, built several hundred of them like this. I use the detail for kitchen, bath and commercial..I use to hate cutting the strechers out for the sink to clear..

Sorry, I should have been specific.

How to you place a drawer front in the software?

Hey Mike,
Just take it in to the drawer/door editor, light up the whole opening, the software will ignore the strecher, specify what size drawer front you want, with the correct top reveal,then check adjust bottom and uncheck add drawer, should do it, then the doors below will adjust to size according to your gap settings.
