Drawer Boxes
Post by Scooter on Mar 3rd, 2015, 4:26pm

Is there any future plan to add a menu for just building drawer boxes without cabinets? I like that you can just build doors without cabinets. Many times a customer wants just new drawers. It would be great to have this feature.

Would the "pullout" work? It's basically a drawer box with a different name.

Yes it will! Didn't even cross my mine to use the pullout. Thanks Rob!

Rob the pullout feature works great for just making drawers. The only thing is that you can't specify different materials. I use 1/2 baltic for the boxes and 1/4 birch ply for the bottoms. The drawer feature allows you to specify. This would also allow to do a separate panel optimization for the different materials. This is just FYI. Thanks

You can also use a pencil drawer, just set all of the cabinet box rail and stiles to zero but leave your overlay to what you use. Set width to width of drawer opening and depth to depth of cabinet. I have 3" deducted of drawer depth this gives me a 21" side for a 24" deep cabinet. This way your drawer standards will work.You can then change material specs. smiley
