I've added a strategy for users who like to work with templates and fixed sizes. Templates are in library folders and have file extensions of .txt
So if you have a base sink cabinet with 2 doors you could name it somethiing like BSD This means there will be a file named BSD.txt If you want to provide a number of widths then you simply create a text file called BSD.dat and in it you would have 1 line:
widths=30|36|42|48
I'm also supporting heights and depths
Now CabMaker will give you a drop down list with these 4 widths for template BSD. All other templates that do not have a corresponding file with a line for widths will give you a text box and you enter a width.
I've also added a parameter that allows you to override the insertion height for upper cabinets (or leave as -1 to use the height in the rules)
There have been several requests to set drawer box heights. I am now working on this feature that will override the drawer box adjustment in the rules.
-
You can now type in the drawer box height (to the right of the drawer front spacing) or leave it as -1 which means the rule for drawer height adjustment is in effect.
-
1.0.64 is now available for download.
You can now override the widths of the shelves for the Top and Mid sections of tall cabinets.
-
Version 1.0.65 fixes an issue where I have exceeded the amount of data that can be sent between sketchup and the cabmaker dialog. I am now splitting up the data into several chunks instead of one long string. Turns out you can now set decimal inches or decimal mm to as many decimal points as you want without an ill effect.
I am now working on version 1.0.66 which treats blind cabinets the same way as other corner cabinets. You will be able to properly adjust the width of blind panels.
I'm also looking into adding a mid rail to 5 piece doors that are taller than X and I will default this to 1200 mm or 48"
A user wanted to build medicine cabinet using face frame construction and have the frame overhang both sides, top and bottom.
-
version 1.0.66 is now available from my web site.
- Blind cabinets now work with Depth and Depth Right.
- Mid Stretchers did not adjust for integrated kicks. Fixed.
- Missed graphics for drawer box height overrides and for Mid Stretchers. Fixed.
- Added Top Rail Overhang at the cabinet level. This works well for medicine cabinets.
- Added Mid Rail for Shaker and Square door types ā more coming.
- Extruded handles using textures was not loading . Fixed.
-
BTW - there is a new setting in Edit Config which will turn back on the door and drawer opening and closing.
It is called Animate Doors
I had to do this because Sketchup's own Dynamic Components were creating stack issues and weren't allowing cabmaker to make it through their review process. This strategy has now made it through.
-
CutMaster version 2.0.1.34 is now available.
- Stretcher Construction and Dowel holes were not recognizing more than 1 hole. Fixed.
- With multiple rules Cutmaster would sometimes use the wrong rule. Fixed.
- With Full Dado's Cutmaster was running a zero depth rout. Removed.
- Labels were only printing in millimeters even when inches is selected. Fixed.

I think one has to close the model and reopen for it to work.

Yes Mario - you are correct.
The next version of CabMaker includes a few small fixes that are of concern for Cutmaster users. Additionally there is a simplification for creating new material templates.
Notice that all materials have a checkbox.
Now when you apply a change on a checked material that change is then applied to all materials that have a check mark.

New version of CabMaker 1.0.67 and Cutmaster 2.0.1.35 are now available.
CabMaker
- For Frameless Overlay added Force Full Side Gaps (left, right, both or none) This is helpful when a cabinet such as an upper cabinet goes beside a deep pantry etc.
CutMaster now has fully synchronized cutplan, Dxf View, labels and Dxf Files.

I'm working on version 1.0.68
You can now have a stile profile for embossed shaker stile doors
You can now set drawer box dado's independently for drawer box sides and drawer box fronts and backs. Here are some of the many possibilities.
I'm now working on completing mid rails for tall doors.
-
These are all the tall door choices where you can have a mid rail
The first 5 are embossed doors where the door is a 1 piece door.
Then next 5 were a 5 piece door and are now a 7 piece door.
The last 3 currently can only be created as a 5 piece door.The mid rail is currently precisely in the middle of the door. If users want to be able to set the lower panel height then please respond with that request.
-
This next version is a major update.
- It will support SU 2016 and SU 2017
- It will be signed which means a change in storing templates. All supplied templates will stay in the folders I am currently using. All "Save" and "Save As" templates will go into a new folder called "storage". This accomplishes 2 things. It will get around the Invalid Signature which happens when one of the original files get changed and it will get around templates being over written during an update.
I am currently looking at making changes to licensing. I welcome feedback.
-
Version 2.0.69 will be available this weekend and the licensing is as follows.
Anyone with a CabMaker license purchased within the last 4 months (based on release date of CabMaker 2) will have their license transferred for free upon request.
Anyone with a CabMaker license purchased within the last year may purchase an upgrade for 50% of the going rate.
Anyone with a CabMaker license purchased more than 1 year ago my purchase an upgrade for 75% of the going rate.
The paypal purchasing options will be on my web site.
