Justin,

You had some strange inset settings for doors and drawers. Here is the cabinet with the drawer. I probably don't have your reveals set properly.

Place the drawer first adjusting the bottom and then place the door.

Since Kerry indicated that you had some "strange" insets I wanted to add that I've noticed a lot of users try to use insets for control of components that already have a parameter for that. It's hard to provide examples, but if you study the relationship of different components you will likely find a method of controlling that relationship without using insets. A combination of insets can and often do clash or counter each other. It is also difficult to remember the values of all those insets, when it comes time to troubleshoot and make corrections.

Yes, I don't like the way I build my cabinets sometimes. Seems like I am pulling tricks out my *** when I do need to make a special part or allow for things other than square boxes. I haven't explored the constraint manager yet, but seems like it is something I need to be more familiar with. This kitchen was only for a customers approval, but when it is time to cut, I do need to go back and adjust all my cabinets and doors so that my ordering sheet and cuts are all accurate. When I do my drawings in other CAD/CAM programs, there is no one way to skin a cat, and that mentality does carry over into Ecabinets as well. I just want things to be easy!
