Thanks Andrew - I will do that.
I am looking for someone to test on SU 2016 for Mac

I intend to support the minimalist as well as the detailed designer / cabinet maker.
Cab Maker Pro is a bit cheaper and comes with a single report which you don't have to use if you don't want to.
As a minimalist you can turn off many parts:
0 shelves
0 pullouts
0 dividers
0 stretchers
No hangers
No backs
No kicks
Set doors
Set drawers
I can add a rule to turn off drawer boxes
You would still get top and bottom fixed shelves, sides, door and drawer fronts.
Moving forward - I'd like to get opinions on SU versions. I am seriously considering only working with Sketchup 2016 and above.
My plugins that currently work with older versions of sketchup will still be available but will not contain any of the new features.
Unfortunately this is a result of hackers stealing our intellectual property.
I've completed the forms. Next is to code in for tall cabinets and frames.
Thanks to Andy I've fixed another bug relating to door gap with finished applied panel(s).
Version 1.0.19 includes:
I've been working on cabinet face frames. You can have inset doors or overlay and full or partial frames. You specify the overlay amount and the door gap.
With the frames you specify stile / rail widths. You specify the overhang for left and right stiles and the width adjustment for left and right stiles. This gives you the ability to increase the width of the stile that goes up against a wall or decrease the width of the stiles of 2 cabinets that will be joined in the field.
You also specify Top and bottom rail adjustments and the overhang for the bottom rail.
The difference between Full and Partial Frames is the Full frame have mid stiles between door pairs and mid rails between drawers in a bank of drawers. You can have pullouts with Partial Frames but not with Full Frames. However you can have a pair of drawers side by side with Full Frames.


Full Pantry - Shelves and / or Pullouts
Split Pantry - Vertical divider down the middle - Shelves and / or Pullouts on both sides.
Full Close - A closet rod to hang clothes
Left Closet - Vertical divider down the middle - Shelves and / or Pullouts on right side - closet rod on left side
Right Closet - Same as Left but reversed.

Blank panel (could be stove and carpenter cuts it out) or (could be entertainment unit)

For built in Stove (1 opening)

For built in Stove and microwave (2 openings)

Here is an inset frameless.
I wanted to do the inset doors and then the tall cabinets prior to face frame construction.
Seemed like a logical progression - at least to me.

Pete,
I currently do inset doors for frame less - I added that 2 days ago.
My next task is tall cabinets for pantries, built in ovens and closet rods etc.
Once that is done I'm doing Overlay and Inset doors for face frame cabinets.
Approximately 2 weeks to get this all done.
Here are some batch times when editing the whole kitchen all at once:
This is on an I7 3.6 ghz 16 gig ram OS on SSD sketchup running on Western digital black NVDIA GeForce GTX 660

I have a number of videos for doors, stairs and cabinets.

I've put face frames on hold until I complete the new Cabinet type "Tall".
Face frames need to deal with tall cabinets.
What I'm thinking is another tab for Tall Options.
Then there are changes for tall cabinets:


Version 1.0.18 - Nov 2015
version 1.0.18 ready for download
I've been looking at a number of handless door systems.
This one is interesting. They have an LED track that illuminates the channel.
They also have clips to simplify construction.
I currently have 5 translation files
English: en.lang
French: fr.lang
Russian: ru.lang
German: de.lang
English with UK woodworking terms: uk.lang
If anyone is interested in having other translation files please get a hold of me. I will extend the trial by a couple of months for those interested in helping. This applies to the first person that contacts me for a given language.
Kim,
I'm still getting my head around all the different styles and approaches. I've also been asked to do C and J channel styles of handles.
I'd like to handle some of the off the shelf hardware. I've put this on the back burner for a week or so while I gather more information.

I really would like to know if there are any Mac users running version 1.0.17
I don't have a Mac so debugging a Mac is just a bit tougher.
I've added Inset doors. Set the door protrusion to -19 for a door thickness of 19 and cab maker builds a cabinet with inset doors and drawers. Stretchers can be optionally used between drawers and doors. Vertical Dividers and pullouts are set back by the proper amount.
Added the ability to place the cabinet at any height by using the shift key in combination with the left mouse button.

Keith,
Really - thank you - I do appreciate feedback.
I think I've got a solution. I simply need to store the default settings in the model.
Load the model and read the default setting from the model instead of from the file system.
Then each and every project / skp file would have your desired defaults !!
