Thanks to Igor who found an issue with Drawer Boxes and Pullouts. When you turn off the Door And Drawer Fronts layer they disappeared.

I will nest the door parts and handle inside a new group. This way the new group belongs to the Door And Drawer Fronts layer.

What is nice is that the drawer boxes animate even when the new Door and Drawer Fronts are turned off!

Version 1.0.10 is now available.

Fixed Drawer Box issue. Turning layers on and off now works as expected.
Added in Embossed Door profile
Completed languge translations in code.
Now have, English, French, German and Russian. The German and Russian require more work.

Anyone who wants me to extend the trial please email me.

Anyone who wants to help out with translations - the help would be appreciated by users who speak other languages.

Thank you Igor

Only the first pullout in a bank had interaction. Fixed.
Some of the translations in the Web Dialog weren't working. Fixed.
Added glass and mirror types to embossed doors.

Version 1.0.11 is available

Thank you Keith,

Fixed a small fonts issue. Small fonts were being ignored.
Added corner sink cabinet. No sink stretcher but you can omit the sink top. Drawer fronts do not have drawer boxes.
Added a rule so you can choose to omit kicks.
Fixed a bug in calculating an outside corner cabinet return hanger. Problem showed up when hanger thickness is different than case thickness.

A new version will be posted later today.

Version 1.0.12 is ready for download

Gary version 12 worked very well. The small font made the form fit my portable screen and the no toe kick option worked as expected. Thanks.

Now one other thing I have noticed but not commented on is the license. When I use the windows/preferences/extensions to up date to a new version I do not have a license available. I have tried loging out at cab32 where I got the down load but I the program still will not ask for or find a license. To run a new version I have been removing the gkware32 files from the plugin directory and then reinstalling the up dated version and then at the first use a login form is shown and after I login the program finds the license and shows the days remaining for the trial.

Keith,

I've looked into the license thing and see what is happening. The installer is overwriting your config.txt file. Next version I will change this to preserve your config.txt file.

For now you should be able to run check license from the menu.

Then enter in your userid and password.

Thanks to Keith on finding bugs and making feature recommendations.
Keith I will extend your trial by a month for your participation in the beta program.

Version 1.0.13 is now available. License purchase options are now on my web site.

We now have CabMakerPro and CabMakerGold. You will automatically get a 7 day trial for Gold even if you have purchased a Pro license. At the end of the trial you will automatically down grade to the Pro version. If you are licensed then it will show as licensed.
No longer overwriting config.txt file.

Garry K · 6 Nov 2015, 16:14

Version 1.0.14 is now available

Mostly internal changes.

Garry K · 7 Nov 2015, 15:31

Version 1.0.15 next week.

I've changed the Edit Configuration to have true false drop downs
Adding drop downs for material color / textures
Now if you want to pare down the colors and or textures - you can edit the colors.txt file and store it in the config folder. You can also organize it any way you want.
I'm also now working on a manual for cabmaker.

Garry K · 7 Nov 2015, 18:29

There are 140 internet colors so I would edit the colors.txt file.
It also contains the wood textures.

The internet colors change the labels background color. So far choosing a texture does not.

Frederik · 7 Nov 2015, 18:35

Excellent, Garry...!

This sure is one of the more advanced plugins for SU...!
A great and a "must have" extension for anyone working with cabinets for kitchens and wardrobes...

Frederik · 7 Nov 2015, 18:36

This makes a lot more sense...

BTW... Do you plan to make sliding doors...?
It would be ideal for wardrobes...

And how can I make drawers without handles, but where there's a small slant to open the drawers, like in the attached images...?

Garry K · 7 Nov 2015, 18:52

Sliding doors are on my radar. Also for Door Maker a sliding door would be good for pocket doors and good for closet doors instead of just bifolds.

Garry K · 7 Nov 2015, 22:18

I've added a new rule which allows you to choose either the front or back left hand corner as an insertion point. Uppers insertion point is the top of the cabinet and Base cabinets is at the bottom.

Frederik · 8 Nov 2015, 08:34

Garry,

You haven't answered my second quenstion...

I can put it on the wish list. If other people are interested in a feature like this then it is possible - but it is not currently on my todo list.

I've found a bad bug - don't press escape or use the x to exit the form - it can cause sketchup to freeze. I will fix this shortly.

Here is the context help that I am considering. Anyone have an opinion?

Shelf Width Adjustment currently has the focus.

Garry K · 8 Nov 2015, 22:50

Version 1.0.15 is ready.

The help is not complete and so far I've only put 15 of the context graphics together.
I just wanted to get it out there because of that bug.
