The Construction Standard > Drawer Dust Panels page of the Catalog/Drawing Properties provides options to include a dust panel either as a rail or full depth.
A dust panel is a horizontal wood panel or board that acts as a divider, or barrier, between drawers to eliminate dust and keep it off the drawer contents. The dust panel is located below each drawer and separates one drawer from another. It is like a bottom case that a drawer slides into. The dust panel does not pull out with the drawer, instead it is attached to the framework of the piece i.e. it is like a frame within the frame.
Dust panels can help prevent a drawer from getting overstuffed as well as keep smaller items at the back of a drawer from falling down to a lower drawer. Keeping everything where it should be prevents you from having to pull out a lower drawer to fish out what’s fallen down to the back of it.
The default Depth for dust panels is Full Depth but this can be overridden by ticking the check box, which makes the edit box available allowing amend the depth, creating a rail.
The position can be set as the default to either the Front or Back of the cabinet. This will be applied at cabinet level when ‘As Rail’ is selected on the Labour & Construction > Dust Panels page.
The Labour & Construction > Dust Panels page of the cabinet also provides options to set the dimensions and position of dust panels between individual drawers.
At cabinet level, Dust Panels can be added on the Cabinet Details > Drawers page as shown (Full Depth).
