    Include Shadow Line Rails

    Add Shadow Line Rails on the Shadow Rail > Include page of the Drawing properties per cabinet type.

    If Drawers enabled for Floor and Tall cabinets, then there is the ability to just have a rail for the Top Drawer Only.

    When the shadow rail is turned ON for the particular cabinet type then the gap at the top of the door is automatically overridden on the Labour & Construction > Construction page of the Cabinet.

    Example added to Floor Door cabinet
