Ian,
Looks good to me. You might want to put a little gap in there between the bottom of the drawer box and the deck/stretchers (unless you have already accounted for this in the hole patterns). I think BLUM likes a 1/8 gap in there for movement. We are switching to the grass system so I'll think I'll have to come up with some new hole patterns for for that system. Did you draw these hole patterns yourself?
Thx
Fred

I'm not sure if it's the same, but the downloadable library has a very similar system in it that you could use, and also has the drilling in the back off the draw fronts for the knock in clips

The downloadable library that Jason is talking about is the System 32mm Frameless.

One tip that might help is on Blum metabox drawers the mounting hole reference points are different on tall drawers than short drawers plus the spread between holes changes on tall drawer fronts. So if you are manually drilling your drawer fronts you will have to change your set-up between different size drawers. If you use Grass Zargen drawers the reference and spread is the same know matter which size drawers you use. So you do not have to change your set-up. This can save a lot of time and mistakes if you are doing a large number of drawers.

No I didn't draw the holes myself took the slides from the Blum hardware choices

Thank you all for your input

How do I open the posted file(HSF)?

[Gary Puckett]

First save the file to your desk top then Go to the display part editor, and click Load STL/HSF find the file on your desk top and click on it

Once I open it in the display part editor, how do I get the drawers to show?

[Chris Harmon]

Nat how I loaded Iain's HSF file is:
1. I have a file called Downloads in my Cabinet directory. You can create a download file by just saving any cabinet and naming the directory downloads.
2. I saved the HSF file to that downloads file. You can then open the file like any other cabinet.
3. How to get the HSF file to the downloads file.

1. I first save the HSF file to the desktop
2.Click on My Computer
3.Click on C: drive
4.Click on Program Files
5.Click on Thermwood
6.Click on Ecabinet Systems
7. Click on Cabinets
8.Click on Downloads
9. Drag and drop the HSF file in to the downloads file

The path should look like this C:\Program Files\Thermwood\eCabinet Systems\cabinets\Downloads
That is how the file structure is on my computer system. It should be that way on most computers. I hope this helps. Let me know.

[Nat Wheatley]

That worked. Thanks Chris.
