changing door sizes

[Alex Bowler]

Hi

I have added some doors in custom layout with no cabinet (They are for an existing pantry). I need to change the size now
is there a way i can do this with out re-creating it.

As far as I know unless they are associated to a cabinet you can't change the size

[Scott Marshburn]

make a cabinet with a face frame only.then size the rails and stiles to your overlay( for example a 1/2 inch overlay would have 1/2 inch rails and stiles)add the door then save this cabinet to your library we have a separate library for doors. You can then batch the doors and resize as you wish.

Hi thanks for your help but i don't use face frames any other way?

[Scott Marshburn]

What are you wanting to do? If all you want to do is make a door and be able to resize it then the face frame will work just delete all of the cabinet parts except for the face frame if you use a 3/4 overlay for frameless cabinets then make your rails and stiles 3/4 wide and set the overlay for your door to 3/4 when you resize the cabinet. the door should be the correct size. for example you need a 12 wide by 21 high door make your cabinet 12 wide by 21 high. If you are using cut list the make the face frame material a do not cut material.

You can use a cabinet with all parts removed except the door. That will give you the resize ability.

Rick when I try this the door disappears when I remove all of the parts.

[Scott Marshburn]

Ok I see. I used a standard frameless cabinet without any doors removed all of the parts then went to door editor clicked in the center of the blank screen (where the opening should be)clicked on add right hinged door A message popped up that I had to select a opening first then a outline of the opening appierd.then I selected this opening and was able to add the door.

Hi the door was disappearing on me as well but that now solves it.

Thanks for your help
