    Glass in DoorMaster LT
    In This Topic

    Glass 3D and machining is supported in all DoorMaster LT doors that have a frame of some sorts. This consists of two machine steps, both of which can be machined from either side of the door, i.e. :-

    1. one machine step cuts though the door and;
    2. the other machine step provides a rebate for the glass.

    The image used for the glass is that chosen from the Materials-Advanced > Door Options page of the Drawing Properties.

     

    Glass page

    Select the required profile on the DoorMaster LTProfile Doors page of the Catalog/Drawing Properties.

    The Glass page allows the setup of the machining using the following options...

    Glass page of selected Series  -  Click to view Profile Doors page

    Glass page of selected Series  -  Click to view Profile Doors page

    Some options are only made available pertaining to the Door Style, such as the Bar Width discussed below.

    Include Options

    Upper and Lower Pane

    Allows you to select whether the glass is On/Off in the Upper Pane and Lower Pane of a door. (Off is the default).

    Include on Drawer Fronts

    Whether or not Drawer Fronts or Drawer Banks include glass. This can also be overridden at cabinet level.

    Glass is Rectangular

    When a profile is not a rectangle (e.g. an Arched door) you can select whether the glass rebate is rectangular or shaped with the profile.

    This option only shows when a profile is shaped.

     

    Rectangular Rebate

    For doors with a rectangular profile the rebate toolpath/s will always be rectangular. However, with a non-rectangular profile (e.g. Scalloped or Arched) the inside profile (if used) will always follow the profile shape, while the outside path is either a rectangle or can follow the profile (for when the glass itself is contoured). 

    Example: Front (profiled) face with Profile and Glass

    Front (profiled) face showing the Profile and Glass cut through toolpaths

    Example: Back Face with Rectangular Rebate ON

    Back face showing both inner and outer rebate toolpaths with the Rectangular Rebate option turned ON.

    Example: Back Face with Rectangular Rebate OFF

    Back face showing both inner and outer rebate toolpaths with the Rectangular Rebate option turned OFF.

    Bar Width

    This option is available only for doors that require a single bar width between panes in the pattern, such as X Door in the Series 6 doors.
