does the back show from the side of a cabinet?
Post by androsi on Jan 17^th, 2017, 11:08am

Hello all, I am about to start my first cabinets using this program. Does this program design cabinets with the backs showing from the side of a cabinet?

Can anyone tell me the proper way to set this up so you cant see the back mats from the side view of a cabinet ?

thanks in advance

The default settings will have the backs visible from the side.

in the General Standards you can enter a value for the "Amount back is recessed into cabinet". When this value is greater than zero the program will keep the sides full depth and make the back the same width as the bottom. This is ok if you use dados but if not you'll need to use the back width adjustment to increase the back width.
