Cabinet design

With the KBB tools, you can create furniture that fit in in shape and size. With the Cabinet door, Cabinet and Countertop tools you can create a complete cabinet family with base cabinets and high cabinets, countertops and kitchen accessories.

With the Cabinet door function, you can create the detailed model of cabinet fronts.
Location:

Ribbon Bar - Interior – KBB – Cabinet

The structure of the Cabinet dialog is the following:
- On the top of the dialog, you can see the preview of the model.
- On the bottom of the dialog, you can edit the model and define the preview.

Edit and save tabs:

	Sizes to define the general dimensions.
	Default front and handle.
	Default delimiting furniture sheets.
	Default edge properties to define the default edge connection rules.
	Default drawer, shelf and leg properties.
	Shape to define conventional or custom shape of the cabinet.
	Custom properties of the cabinet sides.
	Custom edge properties to set the edge connection rules of the sides.

Each tab has additional tab (s) for additional editing features.

 

General enclosure dimensions and heights
You can specify the enclosing dimensions of the furniture on this panel and also define the function of the cabinet.

The Width (a), Depth (b), and Height (c) values are the dimensions of the shape bounded by the outer planes of the body sides. The legs thus determined do not include the legs, the height measured together with the legs is the Total height (d). Closing fronts are not included in the above form. The above form does not include elements (eg handles) placed in front of the front plane of the closing fronts.

With the lock buttons you can define whether the Cabinet height or the Space for legs parameter should follow the change when you modify the Total height parameter. The locked parameter value stays unchanged.

Default front and handle
Default front
You can select Cabinet Door or any other object as the default front. On every door, drawer or this front is displayed on a built-in kitchen machine, unless a unique front is specified for that item.
- Door type. This switch becomes visible when a Furniture Front item family is selected as the default front. It allows you to specify which member of a battery family (glazed or solid) should be the default front.

Default handle
You can select any object as the default handle. On every door, drawer or on a built-in kitchen appliance, this handle is shown, unless you have specified a custom handle for that item.

 

Default side panel properties
For default side panels you can select a Cabinet door element or any other object. Except with the front, the selected panel appears on each side, except when you specify a custom object at the specific side.

Side panel
The side panels of the cabinet. If there is no other definition for the Top, Back and Bottom panels, the side panels settings are applied.
Top panel
If the Apply side panel properties for top panels option is switched off, a different default top panel can be defined. Unless a custom top panel is defined, the default top panel will be applied in each case.
Back panel
If the Apply side panel properties for back panels option is switched off, a different default back panel can be defined. Unless a custom back panel is defined, the default back panel will be applied in each case.

Cabinet shapes
When defining the shape of a cabinet, you can choose from predefined shapes (rectangular, L-shaped corner furniture, pentagonal corner furniture), or you can specify a custom shape.
The rectangular shape is the default.

The depth (m) of the corner cabinet can be set with the Box depth value.

Select a custom shape on the Custom Shape tab. (If you want to choose from the default shapes again, you can do so on the Corpus Shape tab.)

If you change the shape of the cabinet for a cabinet with partitions, a question will appear to answer whether you want to keep the existing partitions or create a completely new furniture cabinet without partitions.

Unique body shape
If you have selected the Freely Defined Shape from the options for Corpus Forms, a list of individual shapes will appear.

In the default Custom Shapes list, in addition to the basic shapes that appear, you can add any custom shapes from the object library in the program.

Shelf                                        Only division 

Only division, no shelf

For such a solution e.g. it is necessary when designing a lower cabinet in which we want to place a drawer above the part that can be closed with a door - in this case the front must be divided in two by a horizontal division, after which a drawer can be placed in the upper box.

Position

If you have not selected multiple divisions, you can enter the position of the division here. The padlock buttons can be used to influence how the division behaves when changing the size of the furniture: the locked distance value remains the same when changing the size, if neither distance is locked, the ratio of the distance from the two sides remains the same when changing the size.

Divide in the middle

Divide from top to 20 cm

Divide from bottom to 20 cm
- Distribution- if you have selected multiple divisions, you can specify the position of the divisions here.
- Divide on the front - here you can set the distance between the shelves or the size of the fronts in front of the divisions.

	Dividing by shelf spacing: The dimensions used to determine the position or layout are the distances between the shelves. If the distribution is even, the shelf spacing will be the same.
	Dividing on Front: The dimensions used to determine the position or layout are the dimensions of the fronts in front of the shelves. If the distribution is even, the shelf spacing will not be the same.

- Align front door edges – fronts in front of the shelves can be aligned to the top, middle or bottom of the shelves. It is also possible to use Custom offset.
