    Overrides

    Cam Ends

    If Ends are screwed on or machined in any other way than 'Cam' on the Mach.General > Const page, then ticking these check boxes will override the default construction method and set to 'Cam'.

    An example of use would be if, instead of affixing an End Panel to the exposed end of a cabinet, a coloured carcass material is used and unsightly screw holes would need to be replaced with a 'Cam'.

    Cam Kickboard to the Part Above

    This option will not be made available (i.e. greyed out) on individual cabinets, if construction is not set to 'Cam' on the Mach.General > Const page and NO machining is carried out for the kickboard parts on each cabinet, unless the Machine this cabinet is checked.

    The defaults set on the Mach.Parts > Kick page are reflected on all kickboards but each cabinet has a selection as to whether the kickboard is cammed to the part above or not.

    Add Shelf Holes to Mullions
