Corner cabinet faceframe changes

[Donald Thomson]

I'm trying to change the width of my left and right stiles for an angled front corner cabinet from 1.5" to 2.25". With the 1.5" stiles, my opening is 13.97". When I change to 2.25" I adjust my outside scribe by the .75" so that the faceframe should move out. But after making the adjustments my opening changes to 12.47".


I can't seem to make my stiles wider and keep my opening the same. Any help would be appreciated.

Don,
Remember eCabinets creates scribe by shrinking the box behind the face frame.
If you add 1 1/2" scribe to your cabinet, you will need to add 1 1/2" Front Width to your cabinet to keep the face frame opening size the same.
Note: This will change the width of the left and right backs on your box and how much wall space this cabinet takes.

Thanks Kerry. Yes, this is what I've been seeing happen. It is certainly very different trying to change parameters on an angled corner cabinet versus a square cabinet. So many parameters interact, independent of parameters the user changes.

I'm wondering if there is a way for Thermwood to add a checkbox to dialogs to tell the software to only adjust what you are asking to change without changing several other parameters automatically? Just a thought....

After making your changes, go back and change the front width value that's circled to your opening size. I didn't change my scribe. I left it the same and only changed the width of the stiles.

Thank you Troy!!
