Need help with this one.
I am trying to create a cabinet box where the back is smaller thant the front. Sort of like a pyramid except with the top cut off. Anybody have any suggestions on how I can accomplish this in eCabinets.

Re: Angled Sides, Top, and Deck
I am sure it can be done as a collection of parts in an assembly.
For example, a "cabinet" can be made that is just one piece . . . a back, for example. Such a part can be taken into the part editor and shaped in many ways, or it can be used as-is.
eCabs, however, likely cannot be used to build this cab of yours as a single cab using just the cabinet editor. You may have to use paper and pencil, or one of the many CAD packages, to work out all the sizes of your various parts. With that done, you can "build" cabs for each of those parts, then bring them into an assembly, and rotate parts and index everything together the way it belongs to make your angular assembly.
Done that way, the parts can all be cut with the CNC.
Does that help? Are you looking for results you can use to cut, or are you looking to be able to only render?

I was looking to be able to render, easily resize, and produce cut lists and nesting diagram.
