Splitting Universal Cabinets
In This Topic
Splitting a Universal cabinet sets each end and back to be cut as two separate pieces stacked on top of each other, with optional shelves at the split.
The split option is available in the following cabinets:
- Tall Universal
- Universal1
- Robe1
Configuration
The split option can be enabled on the Labour & Construction > Split page, as shown below:
Split Configuration
Split Ends and Back into 2 Parts

Distance to Split
-
The distance from the bottom of the cabinet to the split (measures from above the kickboard).
Add Shelf Above Split
-
Adds a fixed shelf directly above the split.
Upper Shelf Recess
-
The distance from the front of the cabinet to the front of the fixed shelf above the split.
Add Shelf Below Split
-
Adds a fixed shelf directly underneath the split.
Lower Shelf Recess
-
The distance from the front of the cabinet to the front of the fixed shelf below the split.

Machined Face
The machined face of the Shelf below the split is opposite to that selected for Fixed Shelves.
Cabinet Machining > Shelf Fix page
If the Machined Face is set to Bottom on the Shelf Fix page then the Shelf below the split is machined on the Top.
Adding Content To Bottom Area
When the split is enabled and either Add Shelf Above Split or Add Shelf Below Split are turned on, the following pages are added...
- Cabinet Details > Bottom Area page and
- Cabinet Details > Bottom Area Cont. page
These allow Area Content to be added to the bottom area exactly the same way it is done for the standard areas in the universal cabinets.
Doors
When using Div Doors, they will automatically cover the entire cabinet height, including the split bottom area.
Alternatively, to add a door specifically to the bottom area, cell doors must be used instead.
When the split is enabled, cell door options are added to Doors > Cell Doors page for the bottom area, as shown below:
Bottom Area Cell Doors
On the Door Handles > Individual Positioning page, the door handles on the lower cell doors can be adjusted in the Bottom Area Cell Doors Handle Centres group box:
Bottom Area Handle Positions
