For inset drawers/doors set the overlay to a negative number, such as -1/16

If you are asking about five piece drawer fronts I don't think that is an option in the program... yet anyway, I don't know what Rob has planned for the future. I have never found an option for any type of drawer front other than the standard slab style. If you do know how to do it, please let me know.

Five piece drawer fronts have been available in the program for about a year or so.

Open the editing window for a cabinet with drawers and then press the More button. You can select from a slab, 5 piece flat panel or 5 piece raised panel.

the negative overlay worked fine.

how can i also make this work with drawer fronts or just a raised panel piece?
i have a sink base i want to have 1x2 drawer fronts and i want these to have the same inset, but don't see options?

is this better to use a raised panel piece or find a way to make drawer fronts?

You really lost me here. A 1x2 drawer front is pretty small.
