[Plugin] GKWare Cabinet Maker
-
If you want to have a shared location for templates and library files there is a way. I created a shared location on a different drive and then set up a batch file to point to that location.
One reason to do this is if you have several licensed computers and you want to have 1 set of templates. Another reason is you want to make sure your templates don't get over written during an update.
From the command prompt
subst x: e:\library\gkware_cabmakerThen copy the following files into the shared area
Next from the main menu choose
Extensions\GKWare_CabMaker\Cab Maker - Edit Config
And set the library location to x:
Finally restart sketchup for the changes to take effect.

I am working on a new way to choose a cabinet from the library for those of you who want to work with libraries.
The idea is to add a find button, then pop up a new window that contains pictures of your cabinets. There would be a bit of work on your part.
What does everyone think?
-
Garry,
I think it will consume a lot of your time without big advantage to the software.
That's my two cents. -

Version 1.0.42 is now ready for download

Added pigeon hole capability using vertical dividers and horizontal dividers. Works with frameless or face frame construction and for uppers or base cabinets.
This can work as a wine rack.
-
Looks like my wine rack, Garry...
Always empty.
-
Andrew - mine too. Someone suggested that I have to buy it faster than I drink it!
In actuality one of my hobbies is making wine. We live in wine country in British Columbia Canada. I do have a cool dark cellar and a metal wine rack that stores bottles 30 per shelf. Each shelf holds 8 bottles on the first row, 7 on the second row etc.
Wine ages best in a cool dark place. The advantage of having the bottles touch each other in this way is that it is suppose to reduce the effect of small temperature fluctuations.
-
Version 1.0.43 will be ready today for download
- Added horizontal grid along with vertical dividers. Can use as a wine rack.
- Modified the web dialog materials tab. Colors now show on a empty label just to the left of the color pulldown.
- Modified web dialog. When Mac users use arrow keys in a closed drop down the graphics now update like it does for Windows users.

Version 1.0.43 ready for download
Next I am looking at adding a right and left angled cabinet. This style of cabinet is for finishing a run of cabinets.
-
Version 1.0.44 fixes a number of bugs that where version specific
Ready for download - those running sketchup 2016 do not need to upgrade.
- Older versions of sketchup that used Ruby 1.8 and did not support round(decimals). fixed
- Older versions of sketchup 7, 8 and 2013 do not support adding linear dimensions programatically. CabMaker now detects sketchup version and only attempts dimensions for version 14.0 and greater
- The way I was grabbing images for cabinet templates only worked on recent versions of sketchup. Fixed
-
You can now create your own extruded profile and create plain doors or embossed doors with extruded handles.
Here is the profile that I've included.
You can also create a top double drawer with a bank of drawers.

Awesome...!

Hi i have seen that some models use IKEA.
here is the IKEA Family-Color-Chart.
the base of the Colors is the PDF-File in the Archive.
This PDF was saved with " DIGITALFarbatlas"
the download for the Version5 is only avaiable in German.

A user was asking how to have cabinets with plant on cabinet backs.
Simple. Set the "Back Offset" to 0 mm and set the "Back Dado / Rabbet" to the same value as the thickness of the case material.
In this case he uses a back thickness of 12 mm and a case thickness of 19 mm. His cabinet depth was set to 600 mm.
Also please note that the parts listing takes care of itself.
-
Version 1.0.45 now available for download.
Add a requested feature for face frame construction. You can now hide the left and or right outer edge of the stiles. This means you can set up your cabinets so that where 2 stiles meet they appear to be a single stile. This along with adjusting the width of the stiles will provide the effect of a single stile. Please note that you must have edge profiles turned off.
