  Custom built in bench
Posted by: Wooooodworking - 07-22-2026, 01:23 AM - Forum: Cabinet Planner - No Replies

I know this is stretching the limits of the program, but how could I plan out an L shaped corner bench that has hinges on top to open for additional storage? I was able to make a lazy Susan cabinet in the program that gets to be a similar shape. Of should I just use sketchup or another program to deal with the bench seat?

Where is the option for setting the cabinet backs to the full height of the cabinet?
Thank you.

  Shelf bottom height with toe kick
Posted by: mdhunt71 - 06-21-2026, 04:06 PM - Forum: Cabinet Planner - Replies (2)

I built a 60" wide double bowl vanity with a 3.5" toe kick. 


Then when I built the faceframe, it is exactly 3.5" short of the full cabinet height. 

Is the toe kick a part of the faceframe?

I thought it was supposed to be recessed and under the cabinet?

  Question on shelf setup
Posted by: mdhunt71 - 06-02-2026, 04:00 PM - Forum: Cabinet Planner - Replies (2)

Hey all, I am building a cabinet that is 72" in length, 24" depth. It has a 24" blind side that is covered up by another base cabinet. 
The shelf that was "built" by the software is 70-3/8", which gives me 1/8" for clearance of the shelf. 
My issue is that I can't seem to find a support piece for the shelf in the cut list for the cabinet. Being that long, I don't think it would handle being supported by shelf pins on the side. 
I would think it needs a piece or two of plywood screwed in underneath it, as well as a support piece under the middle of it.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks

  Cabinet Bottom Panel
Posted by: charliepickles - 05-07-2026, 10:31 PM - Forum: Cabinet Planner - Replies (2)

Hi

I have a base cabinet that is 24" wide and 18" deep using 3/4 plywood which is being assembled with pocket hole screws. When calculate the panel cutlist the bottom panel is 23 1/4 x 17 1/2. The depth of the panel is correct at 17 1/2 but the width should be 22. I set any dado setting to 0 but I must be missing another setting somewhere. I typically build my face frame 24" wide which extends 1/4 beyond the cabinet on both sides. So the interior dimension of the bottom panel would be 22x17 1/4, but the dimension I see in my cutlist is 23 1/4 x 17 1/4.  Am I missing a setting or should I be doing something differently?

Thanks

Hey all, when I in the elevation view I have to zoom in to see details to add a valance. When I add the valance and hit copy to add another piece, the entire elevation view drops back to the original size and I have to re-zoom in each time to make sure the placement is accurate.
Is there a way to keep the zoom view the same?
Thanks

My cabinets are 18" deep including 3/4" face frame. The cutlist is showing the sides to be 17" not 17 1/4" I'm assuming i'm not setting something correctly.

Hi, I am trying to set up my printing and having some trouble.  
I am building cabinets with face frames and a farmhouse design on a slab/inset door.
When I go to the Calc Window, it gives me the options of Material and Master List or Material and Panel Layout.
If I choose Layout, it only shows two pieces of the Poplar stock per page.  These stock pieces are only 5" wide by 60" long. 
I end up with 8 pages of layout cuts with only 20% of the page being used for printing. 
How can I add more pieces to the Layout so I am not wasting so much printer paper?
Thank you,
MD

Hi there, just downloaded the program today and am pretty happy with it. One thing I missed though. How do I change the Font on the elevation drawings?
Thank you in advance.
