Fillers/Gables/Mouldings

Post by Jenny Smith »

Hi, I'm new to ECabinets and have been watching the videos. I have a complete wall done but have two issues left to resolve.

1) How do you create fillers and gables? I need 3 inch by 3/4 filler on the left hand side of the wall and 4 1/2 x 3/4 on the right that runs from the floor to just under the the top moulding.

2) How do I change the height of mouldings? The drawing I'm working on requires a moulding 5 inches in height. Can I create a filler on the cabinet to mount the moulding on that makes up the height difference? We are building everything manually so I just need to show 5 inches on the shop drawing.

Thanks!

Creating a filler can be done by either
a.)creating a display object and texture matching it to your cabinet. This way you will have to associate this part to the cabinet (rt click> association)
b.)Or you can create it by removing all the parts from a different cabinet except the back. You would then save the cabinets as an assembly.

I'm not familiar with a "gable."

Regarding moldings...you can't change the height of an existing molding. You can only changes its length and whether it has miters or not.

You can mount an existing molding to a filler. I attached a cabinet to be used for what I think you are looking for. I brought in a cabinet, h=1.5 w=48 & d=12 (I removed the top and added a tk). Just align this cabinet on top of your existing.

I hope this helps!
