[Plugin] GKWare Cabinet Maker
-
Bill,
All horizontal cabinet parts are first created vertical (so wood grain works and length is length for reports). Then the parts are moved and rotated into cabinet position.
The toe kick part that remained vertical means the cabinet create process quit at an error. In this case it is probably a nil reference because of the 0 thickness for the materials. Toe kicks are the last thing I create - so that is why the rest of the cabinet is complete - however the cabinet itself would stay at the origin and would fail to move and rotate into position.
Currently there is no way to create a cabinet with more than 2 side by side doors. To do so the permutations and combinations become staggering. To handle your 3 door example as a cabinet maker I always created 2 cabinets - 1 with 2 doors and 1 with 1 door. In my opinion the 1 extra side panel is very inexpensive as compared to all the extra labour to handle everything from design to all the logistics of that custom cabinet.
Finally - when I want to draw a custom cabinet I just create the parts from scratch and use the Door Maker to fit the drawers. However you can right click and explode the various parts - but it is probably more time consuming than creating a single cabinet from scratch.

I've been asked to consider a lease to own program and I would like to hear from people on how they feel about this.
For easy round numbers let's take a plugin that is 100 $
If the lease to own program is a one year program then the monthly lease would be 10 $
This means your total cost of ownership would be 120 $Any comments?

Version 1.0.30 is now ready for download
- Updated Rules editor. Fields now automatically enable / disable based on "Overlay / Inset" and "Construction".
- Added Drawer Back Length Adjustment for drawer boxes. This corrects the parts listing when cabinet makers want to create dovetail drawers.
- Added Back Overhang for finished panels. You can use a negative value if you wish.
- Added Filters so that examples can be filtered out. From main menu run 'Cab Maker - Edit Config'
- Fixed problem with un-profiled door panels. They were always showing up as 6mm or 1/4". Cab Maker now honors panel thickness from the materials template.
-
Set Filter to 1 of 4 values, 'None', 'Metric', 'Imperial', 'Both'
All template examples now start with the text 'metric_' or the text 'imperial_'
If you work in inches then filter out metric or vice versa.Filter Examples uses a text file called filters.txt for additional specific filtering.

Version 1.0.31 - Feb 10 2016
- Single pullout door and pullout created error. Fixed.
- Fixed bug with tall cabinets and frameless construction.
- Run filler to floor when notch is set to 0 for base cabinets.
- Fixed parts report. Sorting and Summarizing now working.
- Added side by side drawers for Standard and Sink Base cabinets (not angled).
- Added auto size drawers. Works for Standard cabinets where there are at least 2 drawers and no doors. Works for Tall cabinets if there is at least 1 drawer.
- Added Top Filler for frameless construction when Top Gap is increased to more than 1/2 the thickness of the top.
For faceframe construction you can now have side by side drawers for standard cabinets where there is at least 1 drawer (full frame) or exactly 1 drawer (partial frame). You can have 0, 1 or 2 doors.
For Drawer Banks and tall cabinets you can now ask Cab Maker to calculate the proper height of the bottom most drawer
Filler works for all cabinets. With sink cabinets the top filler takes precedence over the sink stretcher.

Hi Garry, not sure what's going on here. I can't seem to get the plugin going....?
When I click to start the second point ['select right front corner"] won't happen. Neither will it allow me to enter a length in the VCB.Any ideas?

Not sure what's happening with your setup.
Please email me with the email address I PM'd you with. We will get this working for you.In the meantime. If you would open the Ruby Console and then try - maybe there are some errors.
Also - when you email me - please include your OS version and SU version.Garry

For some unknown reason Andrew hasn't picked up the PM that I sent him.
Users can also contact me via my web site.
http://cabmaker32.com/contact/I see these emails just as fast as if you emailed me directly. I also respond fairly quickly. After I respond you would have my email address and I will have yours.
The last few releases are in response to a few users that have had some issues. They emailed me and I dug into the issues. Thanks to Scott, Bill, Grant and Piere.

Thanks Garry, all sorted now!

Here is a video with cab maker and cut list pro integration.
-
I'm thinking about adding a feature where you create a cabinet with create options:
Create Options
Drop down that has "Full Cabinet", "Door Fronts Only", "Door Fronts and Frames Only" -
Hi Garry, is there a way for Cabmaker to identify material list as per what is in the current model?
-
Yes - Go to the defaults tab.
That will show you what all the defaults are.I do save defaults settings with each model.
-
Thanks but my defaults only show imperial_rules & imperial_rules_upper...?
How do I change it to metric? -
From the main menu choose
Extensions \ GKWare CabMaker \ Cab Maker - Edit Config
Set Filter to Imperial to filter out Imperial
OR - depending upon what you want
Set Filter to Metric to filter out Metric
-
I have that set to metric but still the defaults show imperial....
-
Yes - you are filtering out Metric.
This setting will show everything else.
