creating uniform

Post by Justin Rank »

I am starting scratch with a kitchen. I want all my 1/4" backs to fit in a dado, and have a 4" cleats behind them. I want these settings for the whole kitchen. I am designing the kitchen, and have played with offsets and have the box looking like I want it, but I don't think the sides, deck and top will dado. How do I set this, and I don't see a check box for a cleat to go behind it. Is there a way to make this the default for the whole job.

Also I want detached 4" toe kicks. When I click the setting, my rendering shows no toe kicks and when I nest the parts, there are no toe kicks...Any advice? Justin

You can do all the things you want in constuction settings in the cabinet editor.

After you create the cabinet to suit your construction methods, save it as a "seed" cabinet in a new library (just type over Standard" for the name).

You will have to manually add a stretcher on the cabinet to serve as a cleat.

When you use a detached toe, you can add the toe to your room or batch by browsing through Standard Cabinets and loading the Std Detached Toe.
