Cabinet bodies and interiors
Set body dimensions and construction first
Overall width, height and depth define the cabinet body. Internal clear space also depends on board thickness. Set the body before dividing the interior.
- Enter body dimensions and board thickness; choose the back construction and top/bottom connection to the sides.
- Check how the back reduces usable depth and whether the base needs feet or plinth space.
- Inspect the side and rear views and verify panel joints before adding interior parts.
If a value is rejected, follow the field limits. Overall dimensions in a reference image are not internal clear dimensions.
Divide spaces and adjust shelves
Partitions create spaces you can edit further. Select the intended space before adding a part, then check the neighbouring clearances.
- Use vertical partitions for columns and shelves for levels. Build the main divisions before smaller compartments.
- Choose fixed or adjustable shelves and set their positions and clear heights for the intended use.
- After dragging or changing a size, check end supports, which panel runs through a joint, and door/drawer clearance.
Fixed and adjustable shelves use different support and drilling arrangements. Recheck fittings and holes after changing the shelf type.
Inspect hidden details
Check appearance and dimensions separately. Left and right refer to your view while facing the cabinet.
- Use X-ray to inspect the interior. Hide an individual obstructing panel when you need to select a panel behind it.
- View a panel separately to inspect machining details; use Measure to check distances between points.
- Generate an elevation drawing when you need a fixed drawing to share. Check clear and overall dimensions before saving the image.
Measurements are temporary viewing aids. Elevation drawings are fixed images you can save and hand over.
