Continuous Pull

[Matt Schultz]

Good Day fellow Ecabers! Quick question. I have a client looking for continuous pulls for there commercial application. Does anyone have any idea how to implement somthing like that into Ecab? I appreciate your feeback. Matt

What the heck is a "Continuous" pull?

Joe...
They are called by different names, but if I understand Matt correctly, they look like these attached to some Walnut doors we made. (Hafele I believe)

Gary,

Thanks again. Were you able to implement them into your Ecab drawings like a traditional pull? Does Hafele have them in a library somewhere?

Thanks again,

Matt

Matt...

Those doors were done pre eCabs and were closet not cabinet doors. We did about 800 sq ft of them for a local designer. Hafele has them. Part # 126.27.904.

I am sure that the guys who know can get these into eCabs, but I do not use the CL or any of the rendering features of the software. We use it to cut.

Hafele has this pull and a number of others as downloadable 3D files. You will need to convert the file from DXF or whatever into an STL file to load into the Display Part Editor. You then save the part as an HSF file to be used wherever you like.

If you post a picture of how you want it to look, maybe it will make more sense. Even Gary's photo doesn't click for me.

However, I was thinking that a person could use the molding editor and create a molding profile for the purpose. Then the molding can be placed at whatever height you wish.

I may have to check that idea with Kerry. lol

Here are 2 I just made ?
They are STL put it in EC then you can resize them

2 More Handles

Good job George. Your handle 12 is the part that is installed on the doors in my pic.

[Matt Schultz]

hahaha! Yes! Thanks for all your help guys. I am fairly new to Ecabs. The previous gentleman in my position informed me that it was impossible to add a continuous pull to an ecab drawing. Apparently he was wrong. I appreciate your feedback. I think I am learning more from the Forum than his hands on instructions!

Thanks!
Matt

You will show us the cabinets when you are done them

Matt,

I use this method:

Create a sheet in sheet stock with the name and code of the pull you purchase and the length that you purchase it in, and set the height the height of the pull plus a little over twice the collar setting. Give this an Aluminum-like colour.

Now create your carcase and add your door with the correct top inset (I have a 5mm STD Inset and a 38mm High pull, so my top inset is 43mm)

Now go to the stretcher editor, change in construction settings full dado depths to the depth of your carcase sheet stock. Add a left-right and up-down stretcher of the pull height (38mm) out of the appropriate sheet stock and with full dado construction on left and right ends. Now adjust the stretcher with a negative inset and appropriate top inset and lock these.

This will give you a nesting of the correct amount of the pull you desire, and will adjust with the cabinet.

It looks OKish in renderings. You can take each one to the part editor and make it look better.

PS. Watch you grain direction and change if it wont nest. Also the collar size.

Hope this helps.
