for example, a 24" wide single opening base cabinet using door type 14 and a slab style drawer front with a 5" upper drawer opening, the stretcher, drawer support, and bottom are 3/4" (0.705") birch ply and i want full overlay.

the program is telling me to make the drawer front 6 7/16 tall.  this will fully overlay the front stretcher and the drawer support. it tells me to build my doors 24 13/16 tall. not accounting for any space between the bottom of the drawer front and the top of the door this totals 31 1/4".  this leaves 3/4" hanging below the bottom of the 30 1/2" cabinet.  i am installing toe kick drawers and need to adjust the program to make the door bottom flush with the bottom of the cabinet so the toe kick drawer front will clear, if possible.  not the end of the world if i have to do the math at the saw, but 14 doors, i would rather use the program to do it.
thanks in advance.]]> I'm building kitchen cabinets for my house.  I decided to build a stand-alone 4" toe kick platform, level it, and set my cabinets on it.  i built all of my base cabinets 24"deep and 30 1/2" tall, these are frameless cabinets, so far so good.

I’ve checked the following areas already:
• Drawer Standards
• Door Standards
• General Standards
• Drawer Box Settings
I expected to find a “Panel Options” or “Panel Thickness” setting somewhere in the Door Standards window, but I’m not seeing anything related to recessed/Shaker panel thickness.
Could someone point me to the correct location for adjusting the Shaker drawer‑front panel thickness?

I'm working on a simple cabinet: two sides, top & bottom, back, and some shelves.  All the parts look correct except for the rabbets on the two sides for the back.  No matter what I do they're 1/4" wide.  The backs are 1/2" material.  Shouldn't the rabbets be the same width as the thickness of the material for the back?  Perhaps I missed a setting somewhere, but I've looked through all that I've been able to find, and nothing I've tried changes that 1/4" width.

Regards,

Denver

Never mind, I found it.  It was in the Standards->DXF Settings.]]>

Need help, I have tried everything, but I cannot seem to get my material list to reflect the bottoms of my pullouts. When I do CALC and check off the drawer master list it gives me all my parts, but it will not sum up how many sheets of bottom material I need, nor will it reflect it in my panel optimizer. I use Baltic Birch 1/2 inch for sides back and front and my bottoms are 1/4 Baltic Birch the panel optimizer will cut out the bottoms on the 1/2 inch with no picture for the 1/4 inch sheet. What do I need to do to fix this?

Thanks,

I am in the habit of using stretchers on my base units and not solid tops how do i eliminate the solid tops and get the stretchers to show on the 3 d and when calculating material how do i get the sizes to show on the materials list? I seem to be doing things differently I guess! I have never had a base unit fail though. thanks in advance for the help I am really trying to make this program work for me.
