Face frame's

[leigh mills]

Hi Guys,

I want to use a face frame but just one part of it, in my case I need to use the bottom rail. I am having difficulty deleting the other parts, I cant seem to loose the other 3 sides, so I constantly have all four sides of the face frame, so how do you delete the sides to leave 1?

Thanks in advance,

Leigh

Take the cabinet into the Face Frame Editor, select and delete each part that you do not want.

I do not quite understand face frames completely. I have been trying to use Mortise/Tenon for the face frames in some of my cabines. Every time I press ok, nothing happens. When I open construction settings again, the face frames are back to butt.
Is it something wrong that I am doing or what?

Welcome Sergio, in the faceframe editor hilite the frames then go to construction settings and select M/T.HTH

Rick,
Thanks for your reply.
I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or I am not going to the right place. But every time I fix it, for some reason, never fix on my drawings, and when I go back to look, sure enough, the it was all back to butt.

If you are referring to Line Drawings, they are not updated when cabinets are changed. You will have to delete and create them again.

Hey Dan,
No, I am actually referring when I am building the cabinet. Right now I am working on a drawer base. I am working in the main area of the cabinet editor, I open constructions settings and fix several parts of my cabinets; back, deck, sides, etc; there I try to fix the face frame an that where everything takes place.

To change a face frame, you must go into the Face Frame Editor first then open Construction Settings. When you go back to the Main Workspace, the changes will show up.
