help designing cabinet

Post by Ray Jorgensen »

I need some help in designing a cabinet. If I were to take a square 30" cab, how can I angle each side at a 45 starting 10" from the front?

This would be a corner cab but with the 2 sides at a 90 to the front for the 1st 10" and then angle in towards the center at the 45. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks

I am not 100% sure, but is this what you are talking about?

It is pretty simple. You will not be able to use a 30"square cabinet though. Take your cabinet and inset the left and right sides. Then take your top and deck to the part editor and trim the back corners on a 45.

Ok! I'll give it a go. Will the software then apply dodo's etc to the parts?

You would have to apply your own joiner manually through the parts editor. I don't know that I would spend a lot of time doing that. The joints are going to be against the wall so I would probably just use glue and screws to fasten together if it was me.

Thanks, you're right about the joints. They won't be seen.
