Hello everyone!

I have a question (don't know if it's a simple one or not)...

I am trying to understand how (if it's possible) I can integrate a hole pattern that isn't in relation with a door/drawer/drawer box.

I get that I have to create the hole pattern in the hole pattern editor. But if my geometry has to be mounted under the cabinet (under the deck) how can I apply it to the selected part and all?

I want to be able to set the hole pattern for a particular type of leveler. So for one cabient, I would have 4 levelers positionned on four different corners of my cabinet.

Ariane,

Here is an example of using the KD/RTA construction and a special hole pattern to achieve holes on the deck for levelers. I will attach the cabinet and the hole pattern I made and used (I had to rename the extension for the pattern file to .txt to attach it here -- just rename it to .ptn after downloading it). Hope this helps.

Not a specific tutorial, but using KD/RTAs should be covered and the Hardware Hole Editor. I suggest that you start with those sections of the videos and then ask any specific question you may have after that here on the forum.

There are video tutorials of using template files with the Part Editor in our subscription based training program.
