[Plugin] GKWare Cabinet Maker
-
Version 2.0.70 is now available from my website
The beaded frames are not finished so they aren't in the plugin.
-
I have now finished the beaded frames. I have included a simple bead. Users can add additional beads if they wish.
Version 2.0.71 will be available shortly. Just finishing up with the documentation.
-
Version 2.0.71 is now available on my website
-
The various parts of the beaded frame are now solid (has volume) which could help in determining amount of finished material.
Here are the parts in an exploded view.
CabMaker's profile builder now has another category for beads for frames. The important part is the profile needs to be the same as the thickness of the frame. This allows the cleanup to work properly and the back edge is then removed to create a true solid.
-
I found an error in the insertion point for full and partial frames. Fixed
Tall cabinet tops can have 3 modifiers:
- Default(no change)
- Treat As Base (Tall cabinet takes on top style used for base cabinets)
- Treat As Upper (Top and top edge of sides take on the same finish as the top of upper cabinets)
Tall - Treat as Upper.
Tall - Treat as Base. Top section is turned off (height = 0), Cabinet Height is 768 and Mid Section is 640 leaving 128 mm for a bottom drawer. You set the number of drawers. I used mid section because you can adjust the position of the handle.
-
Cab Maker can now produce doors and drawer fronts with or without frames.
Treats Doors and Frames like any other cabinet. Reports include doors and frames.
Batch editing works with these as well as regular editing.Framleess overlay
Set Cabinet Depth = 0
Inset Full Frame
Set Cabinet Depth = Frame Thickness for correct insertion point.
-
Version 2.0.72 is now available for download.
- Modified Beaded frames so that they are now Sketchup solids.
- Fixed Insertion point for Full and Partial Frame construction.
- Added Tall Top parameter. You can have Default (as before) or Treat As Base or Treat As Upper. Provides more consistency and flexibility.
- You can now set Frameless Cabinet Depth to 0 to get Doors and Drawer fronts only. You can set Full and Partial Framed Cabinet Depth to the same thickness as the frames to get Frames, Doors and Drawer fronts only.
- You can use the new cabinet parameter Pullout when 0 Depth.

Working on 2.0.73
Anyone interested in a sliding door option for inset doors.
I'm guessing we would need an overlap parameter and the sliding door option would require a pair of doors. -

Hi Garry, was Cabinet Maker dynamic at some stage???
I'm sure I could open and close doors and drawers somtime ago?
-
You still can - however you have to turn it on.
From the Sketchup menu choose
Extensions \ GKWare CabMaker 2 \ Cab Maker 2 - Edit Config
Set Animate Doors to true.Any new cabinets or edited cabinets will now have the proper attributes.
I had to do it this way because the Extension Warehouse kept failing CabMaker during automatic testing. Pretty crazy - because Dynamic Components would also fail (if they let it)
-
No worries, thanks mate.

Hi Gary --
I just downloaded the CabMaker trial and was about to download the CutMaster trial, then saw it was Windows only... I don't suppose that you have any plans to port it to MacOS?
I realize that it the effort/reward ratio may make it a losing proposition... but no harm in asking
