Panel with Multiple Panes

In This Topic

In this topic we will discuss how to use a Custom table to customise a single panel and apply multiple shaker styles to it.

This is can be used instead of the Bar Back Panel, which uses separate panels that will need to be connected.

Panel (1 to 10 Pane Option)

We will be using a Floor End Panel, which is initially a single pane, and using the custom table to make it into a panel with four (4) panes, however, there is the ability to create a panel with up to ten (10) panes.

Before you start you need to ensure that the Custom table i.e. Panel (1 to 10 Pane Option).qlt is available in <your CabMaster folder>\Table\Machining\Custom folder, if not contact Customer Support.

Setup Definitions

Step 1 My Setup

On the My Setup > Local Properties page in the Drawing properties :-

tick/enable the four (4) Use checkboxes defined initially as x1, x2, x3, x4.
type in a descriptive definition for each of the four (4) local properties, as per the following :-

X Position (from sides).
Y Position (from top/bottom).
Depth of cut
Number of Panes (you can have up to 10 panes)

If you are also applying the LED Rebate to Wall cabinets then, as these are for descriptive purposes only, you can skip this. However, you will need the four (4) Use checkboxes ticked.

Example of alternate definitions

The headings have been left unchanged but Use x4 has been enabled to allow the value for Number of Panes to be entered in Step 2.

Step 2 Floor End Panel Options

Place down a Floor End Panel to Floor on your drawing and set the following options.

On the Panel Details > General page,

Tick Use Custom Depth when ‘Flush’ checkbox
Set the depth of the panel in this example 2500mm
- (this will be measured as 'Depth x Height' instead of 'Width x Height').
make sure the option Match Panel Material is selected (otherwise it will not work)

Panel Details > General page ; Click to Expand

On the Cabinet Information > Information page, enter in the x1, x2, x3 and x4 values as required.
