Cabinets - Generated multielement units

Top position

Top settings

The options for distances and ending are active depending on the cabinet construction.  You can change the top position and sizes and create non-standard shaped top.

Copy top parameters for bottom -  This button copies all parameters, which define the top settings and set them as bottom settings. It is a useful operation for fast and easy equalization of these two elements form settings.

Distance below - Defines value of entry of the top between the end panels. It changes the cabinet internal volume. It is reflected in the element nomenclature of a back panel and partitions. 

Front distance - Set the top's distance from the cabinet front edge (from cabinet face to it back).

Back distance -Set the top's distance from the cabinet back  edge.

Left Distance, Right Distance - Set the top deviation depending on its sizes. The options Left edgeband  and Right edgeband are active only for construction End panels overlap the bottom and top and inactive option Top above.  In other cases edgeband adds automatically.

   Checkbox  Saves distance and size of a detail and Scales the distance depending on the current cabinet dimension - These two options have mutually supplemented functions. Their combination will allow you to save the position and the size of additional details after changing the outer dimensions of the created unit.

For example: We have a cabinet with sizes Lenght = 100cm., Height = 70 cm. and  Depth = 50cm. and Top sizes Lenght = 100 cm.,Depth = 50. We enter distances: Left distance = 10 cm. and Right  distance = 5 cm. The result is an element 85 cm. long. Sellect the checkbox Saves distance and size of a detail for the Left distance. Mark the checkbox Scales the distance depending on the current cabinet dimensionfor Right distance.

   Let's change the cabinet length on 150cm. Here what result is received:
    1. The detail doesn't change its left position (Left distance remains 10 cm.) and length (85 cm.)
    2. The Right distance recalculates and becomes 150-10-85=55 cm.
   If these options are changed we will receive: Length = 85 cm., Right distance = 5 cm. The Left distance becomes 150-5-85= 60cm.

If the option Scales the distance depending on the current cabinet dimension  is checked  for one distance only , then the size of the element and this distance will be changed proportionally on the edited cabinet sizes.  For example: Let's generate a cabinet with depth 75cm. The depth of thå Top is  75 cm. Enter a value for front distance 10cm. and check the option Scales the distance depending on the current cabinet dimension. The element's  depth becomes 65cm. Let's change the cabinet depth on 90 centimetres. The coefficient of the size changing  will be  90/75= 1.2.  The element front distance becomes 1.2*10=12cm., and its depth - 1.2*65 = 78 cm.

If the checkbox Scales the distance depending on the current cabinet dimension  is checked for 2 opposite distances, the scaling will be executed for these two distances and for the detail's size. For example: We have a cabinet with: Lenght = 100 cm.,  Left distance=5 cm. and Right distance = 5 cm. The element's  lenght becomes 90cm. Let's change the cabinet length on 200 cm. The coefficient of the size changing  will be 200/100=2. The entered distances become accordingly on 2*5=10 cm., and detail's  length becomes 2*90=180 cm.

Attachment of furniture fittings for detail installation to the end panels - The fixing element is selected in the section Template schemes of shelf supports.  Left click on a element selects it, right click cancels the made choice. The kind of the element by default defines in Prameters by default, page Shalves. The section is enabled when the detail (top, bottom) is situated between the cabinet end panels.

edgeband thickness
Button Thickness of edgebands - In this section is determined the personal thickness of the edgebands of the detail. It is selected from the drop-down list and for each edgeband can be set different thickness. If the thickness of the edgebands will be taken off from the size of the material , check the option of the respective  edgeband, which thickness will decrease the size of the detail. If the taking off will be made for all edgebands, check the option For all edgebands.

Cutting a hole in the detail and insertion of cable guide - Enable option Cable console / guide. For automatically positioning of the hole select  Left or Right. In fields Position X and Position Y are loading default values. They define the position of the center of the hole toward left front point of the detail. You can change them by entering new ones. Actual are the current values, whether Left or Right is selected. The cable guide creates its own nomenclature and participate in job price offer formation.

The button Edit shape opens a dialogue window for top parameters edition. The large number of parameters allows you to create various shapes  for  writing-table worktops, wardrobe tops etc. The edgeband on the ovalshaped areas creates its own element nomenclature. The filleting (chamfer ) begins from the four basic corners. Then you can use the intermediate points  parameters. This is necessary for correct calculation of element nomenclatures. The possible  deviation at calculation of the edgeband quantity for the rounded forms  is  5-10 %  (with positive or negative sign).
WARNING! For radii, creating a convex shape details, run out the specified overall dimensions, the material sizes doesn’t increase in the calculations.

Rounding value can be set in two ways: as a coefficient toward radius  or the radius is entering in the chosen for work unit of measurement. That is set in module Cabinet, Parameters by default, page Others , depending on option Entering radiuses  that constructing nonrectangular forms of elements in current unit of measurement .When it is active ,radius is entering as number  value. In other case the degree of arc convex is set as coefficient from -1 to 1, equal to proportion between arc convex degree and half of the distance between its two end points.
Radius as a numerical value is automatically calculated, based on the distance between the two endpoints of the arc at the optimum level of protuberance. The value can be changed, but it is only possible entering of larger radii from the automatically calculated one.


Cancels entered parameters - The button does values of all parameters 0, adjusting a rectangular form. 

Here you can create and save templates of various top shapes. Subsequently you can load them from the list. Enter the template name into a field taking place above the button Save design and press it.  The new template adds to the list. To load an already existing configuration mark its name and press the button Load design. Press the buttton Preview  or click  left mouse button into the field to view the chosen design. For deleting a template specify it  in the list and press the button Delete design.

Scales all parameters depending on the cabinet current sizes automatically - Scales all sizes of the already existing designs automatically  depending on a ratio of the original and the present cabinet sizes specified in the main form. The radiuses values  are calculated depending on the new element linear sizes. The size correction and automatic scaling makes in the form " Top parameters". If  you change the cabinet sizes in the main form in a consequence, you will receive a disproportionate form change.
Section Library of shapes by type of the elements - Contains a list of the details, on which can be set  a shape, different than rectangular. It allows quick access to all stored templates schemes with not rectangular forms. By default in the list are loaded the saved schemes to the current type details. To select  templates of other element of the unit, select the respective option. Thus , once saved template to a distinct type of detail , is available for use by other elements of the cabinet , without having to save it several times.

copy parameters- Transfers parameters values in the respective area in the shown on the button direction on purpose their mirror copying in the opposite . The detail is divided in four areas . Copy buttons allow quick and easy adjusting values at equal detail shape in several areas.

Mirror settings-Buttons transfer the entered in the fields with values specular in the opposite direction, and delete them from their current positions. This way creates a mirror copy of the initial shape.

Click Set to save the  made changes.  Close the window to cancel them.

Rails under top


For more stable cabinet construction you can generate one or two rails under its top (2 vertical, 2 horizontal, 1 horizontal +1 vertical or 1 vertical + 1 horizontal) either for each area or in one area only. Select an option Add rails   and  specify whether there will be edgebanded the rails (option Front rail - back/ top edgeband and  Back rail - back/ top edgeband, Front rail-front/ bottom edgeband and Back rail-front/ bottom edgeband) and enter their Width. The rails generate an own element nomenclature for a material (Cabinet: rails) and edgeband (Cabinet rails' front edgeband, Cabinet rails' back edgeband, Cabinet rails bottom edgeband and Cabinet rails top edgeband). For rectangular details will be added the element thickness, too.

You can put rails both under the top and on the floor of the cabinet, and in both positions at the same time for each area (if the option The rails are between partitions is active). For this purpose, activate the option Add rails in the respective area, then select options Above (to rails under the top) and / or Below (for rails on the floor).To choose combination for the position of the rails (above, below), activate the respective button and select one with the left mouse button. For each position and area you may select a different distribution of rails.

The common width for all rails sets into the field Width.  You can enter a personal width for each rail (front and back) in every section, too. Enter the new values into the fields front and back. This way you can edit rails' distances of the front and back rail, too.

The rails are between partitions - When this option is active, the the partitions divide the rails in separated sectors. For each segment creates an element nomenclature (for material and for edgeband).When this option is switched on, there is a possibility for personal definition of the elements' parameters for each area - in which area to be generated rails, the way of their turning (vertical or horizontal), as well as their distances Front  and Back. The option allows to generate a cabinet with some partitions and rails between them (kitchen cabinets for example).

Left and Right - They are active when an option The rails are between partitions is not  checked.

The positive values decrease  the rail's length, and negative increase it.

From above, Below - Determine how much to raise (below) lower rails  toward  the bottom of the cabinet or how to move down from the top (from above) upper. This, combined with the possibility to determine different widths of each element, allows this section to create details with other than that specific purpose (shelves and other additional elements in the cabinet).
