Dimensions

The overall sizes of the timber panelling cabinet.

Width

Displays the overall width of the panelling cabinet.

Height

The height from the floor to the top of the panelling cabinet.

Depth

Displays the overall depth of the panelling cabinet.

Kickboard

A kickboard can be added to the timber panelling cabinet for situations where it does not extend all the way to the floor. This is visual only and does not get output for machining.

Kickboard Height

The height of the kickboard.

Include Kickboard

Turns the kickboard on or off.

Kickboard Recess

The distance from the back of the panelling to the front of the kickboard.

Bottom

The bottom is a carcass panel that fills in the bottom area of the timber panelling cabinet. This is visual only and does not get output for machining.

Include Bottom

Turns the bottom on or off.

Backing Panel

The Backing Panels are the vertical parts that sit behind the timber panelling. These are visual only and do not get output for machining.

Include Backing

Turns the backing panels on or off.

Height Off Floor

The distance from the floor to the bottom of the timber panelling cabinet. This option is only available when the kickboard is disabled.

Insertion Point

The distance from the floor to the bottom of the timber panelling cabinet. This option is only available when the kickboard is disabled.

Points

The points group box contains all the controls for adjusting the shape of the timber panelling cabinet. The panelling cabinet is defined by a series of points, which are joined together to form the overall shape.

X

The x (left/right) coordinate for the current point.

Y

The y (front/back) coordinate for the current point.

Radius

The radius of the arc from the current point to the next point.

Remove Point

Deletes the current point.

Add Point

Adds an extra point to the shape (up to a max of 20).

Export to Polyshape

Copies the points to the clipboard, so they can be imported into the polyshape so you can machine parts such as a base or benchtop substrate etc. as seen in the image above.

Point Labels

Show point labels

Adds a number label for each point to the plan view to help identify which point is which.

Label Offset

The distance between each point and its corresponding label on the plan view.

View Shortcuts

Plan View

Changes the preview pane to show the plan view of the timber panelling cabinet.

3D View

Changes the preview pane to show the 3D wireframe view of the timber panelling cabinet.

 The Label page contains various controls for affecting the cabinet label that is shown on the plan view.

Label Offset

  Right (+ve)  /  Left (-ve)

Moves the cabinet label left or right. A positive number will move it right and a negative number will move it left.

  Back (+ve)  /  Forward (-ve)

Moves the cabinet label backward or forward. A positive number will move it backward and a negative number will move it forward.

Display

  Display Cabinet Height

Shows the cabinet height on plan. (The matching option must be turned on in the display area of the drawing properties as well).

Profile

Slat Type

Can be set to either Profiled or Rectangle. Setting the slat type to...

• Profiled will use the selected slat profile for the slats.
• Rectangle will just use regular rectangle panels with no profile.

Profile Table

The profile collection to use. Each profile table contains individual profiles within it that can then be selected. 

(Only available when the slat type is set to Profiled).

Profile

The profile to use for the slats. 

(Only available when the slat type is set to Profiled).

Edit Profiles

Opens an form-editor window where you can edit/add profiles in the selected profile table.

(Only available when the slat type is set to Profiled).

Slats

The slats are the panels that are repeated along each edge of the timber panelling cabinet.

They can have two different configurations, depending on whether the edge they are being applied to is curved or straight.

Curved Edges

The settings under this heading apply to any slats on the curved edges of the timber panelling shape.

Straight Edges

The settings under this heading apply to any slats on the Straight edges of the timber panelling shape.

Slat Width

The width of each individual slat.

(Only editable when using Rectangle slats. Profiled slats will read directly from the profile's configuration in the table).

Slat Depth

The depth of each individual slat. 

(Only editable when using Rectangle slats. Profiled slats will read directly from the profile's configuration in the table).

Spacing

The distance between each slat.

Space Evenly

Overrides the spacing of the slats to fit as can fit on each edge without extending past the end of the edge.

Using this method treats the Spacing as a minimum distance, instead of an exact value. The actual spacing will be different per edge.

Texture

The texture groupbox shows the image being used for the 3d view of the slats, and allows it to be adjusted.

The filepath for the image is relative to the Bitmap folder of the CabMaster install filepaths.

Browse Image

Clicking this button will open a file browse window, where a new image can be selected for the slats.

The Enables page contains controls for turning certain edges or slats on or off.

Trim Edges

Remove Final Slat from the following edges

Ticking any of the checkboxes under this heading will remove slat at the end of the corresponding edge of the timber panelling shape.

This is mainly used when the Space Evenly option is disabled, since the last slat on some edges may extend past the edge of the shape when the spacing does not fit perfectly along that edge. A checkbox will automatically appear for each edge of the shape.

 

Seal Edges

Seal the following edges

The checkboxes under this heading control whether an edge is sealed or not.

When it is unticked, the corresponding edge will have its slats, backing panel, and kickboard removed.
