Problem with adjusting back of this cabinet

Post by Donald Thomson »

I don't know if it's me or something in eCabinets. I'm trying to inset the back of this cabinet .75" or the thickness of the top. For some reason, I can't make any adjustments to inset the back by the required amount.

Is there something I'm missing that is not allowing me to make the adjustment? TIA

Don

Don,

The back inset is using a formula to inset it the Toe Kick Thickness. Choose the blue f(x) for the back inset of the back, choose the C to clear, choose Top Thickness. OK out of the menus, should be good to go.

I just ended up deleting the back, saving the cabinet, adding the back and then it would adjust for me. Not sure why it refused to adjust.

On another note; is there a way to add drawers to a room layout, outside of a cabinet? I need to make some drawers that don't belong to any cabinets in a layout project.

If a formula is in use in the Formula Editor, you cannot adjust the inset by typing in a number in the box.

The easiest way is to select Drawer Boxes in the Item Window on the right. Set the default box, type in your size, then choose Create Drawer Box. It will drop in the middle, but it will be selected so you can hold CTRL+right mouse button and drag the box out of the way to somewhere else.
