                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)

                        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 😄

                          Sorry Doug -

                          I do have a C++ compiler that supports both Mac and Windows and I started porting my code over but there were just too many bugs in the compiler. So I went back to Windows only.

                          I do have a number of Mac users that use bootcamp or parallels or vmware.

                              I am now considering working on using doors as finished panels. The only problems that I see are with extra wide back panels for narrow islands and peninsulas.

                              Anyone care to comment on how they would like to see this done?

                                OK. Thanks for the quick reply Gary.

                                At the moment I don't have a direct need for CutMaster... but if it becomes must, then BootCamp here we come!

                                        Adding the ability to adjust the height of the middle rail. This way you can have the middle rail for tall doors line up with your regular doors.

                                        Mid doors.png

                                        I'm also adding the ability to override the placement of and extruded handle. So you can set up a top drawer and have the handle at the bottom and have the handle for the rest of your drawers on the top.
