hi all hope some one can help has been a while since i have played with these but am having probs
hope someone can help...please

=IF(STD_DW_CAB!DRAW_QTY=1,STD_DW_CAB!LenZ-STD_DW_CAB!DOOR_T_GP,IF(STD_DW_CAB!DRAW_QTY=2,IF(STD_DW_CAB!DRAW_HT_2=16,STD_DW_CAB!LenZ-STD_DW_CAB!DOOR_T_GP-DRAW_2!LenZ-0.15,IF(STD_DW_CAB!DRAW_HT_2=1,(STD_DW_CAB!LenZ-STD_DW_CAB!DOOR_T_GP)/2-0.15,IF(STD_DW_CAB!DRAW_QTY=3,STD_DW_CAB!LenZ-STD_DW_CAB!DOOR_T_GP-(DRAW_2!LenZ+DRAW_3!LenZ)-0.3,IF(STD_DW_CAB!DRAW_QTY=4,STD_DW_CAB!LenZ-STD_DW_CAB!DOOR_T_GP-(DRAW_2!LenZ+DRAW_3!LenZ+DRAW_4!LenZ)-0.6,10))

not sure y its not working ?? grrrr

but what i am trying to do is simalar to before (didnt get that workin either)
but to make a draw cabinet that has the option of 1 to 4 draws with each draw being able to be given a certain height or be equal to the others

... ie if there are 4 draws and if draw 1 has been given a height of 200mm then the other 3 (if no heights have been specifed) draws with be equal.....so if draw 1 & 2 have been given heights then draws 3 & 4 would be equal

any help would be great thanks...

Hi James

thanks heaps i will try that when i get back to work tomorrow
and thats exactly what i was after a simple way to do it
so much less confusing ...... yaaay
i will post back tomorrow to let you now how it goes

on a slighty different note if i have the following

a draw bottom thats inside a draw
& the draw is in a draw box
& the draw is in a cabinet

how can i get the draw bottom to read a parameter on the draw box

to sum up i would like to now the chain of comand in order to refer back to other componets ?

but again thanks james and all that have helped

Hi

Thanks all for your help i worked last night on it and sorted the 3mm gap issue as below

(box height) - (top gap) - (3mm gaps (this number changes depending on how many draws there are)) /(the number of draws)

code :

"=IF(STD_DW_CAB!DRAW_QTY=1,STD_DW_CAB!LenZ-STD_DW_CAB!DOOR_T_GP,IF(STD_DW_CAB!DRAW_QTY=2,(STD_DW_CAB!LenZ-DRAW 1!DOOR_T_GP-0.3)/2,IF(STD_DW_CAB!DRAW_QTY=3,(STD_DW_CAB!LenZ-DRAW 1!DOOR_T_GP-0.6)/3,IF(STD_DW_CAB!DRAW_QTY=4,(STD_DW_CAB!LenZ-DRAW 1!DOOR_T_GP-0.9)/4,IF(STD_DW_CAB!DRAW_QTY=5,(STD_DW_CAB!LenZ-DRAW 1!DOOR_T_GP-1.2)/5,0)))))"

This is for the bottom draw so it has to work and have different heights for 1,2,3,4 & 5 draws

Chris

That code you suggested to use i will have to fit into the code above
so that will be the difficult part
i will work on that soon..........

Hi

I thought i would add an update as to the draw cabinet i have been working on

Its working but still needs some tweeks
I have not yet allowed for any 3mm gaps between draw fronts,
and the other more major prob is that........

I would like the draw fronts to be adjustable by user imput but

• say the cabinet has 3 draws and the used wants the bottom draw to be 500mm high i want to be able to get the other two draws to divide the left over space equaly

Any ideas on how to do this easily would be great

I have attached the a model of the draw unit im working on
and also some pics

Std Draw Cab Typ 1.skp

Thanks Chris

Im still trying to work out an easy way to add the adjustable draw fronts
so .....more head scratching, but if anyone would like to help......please

!!awsome stuff!!

the building design is pretty hot & the presentation is cool just wondering
how long that took u to model & what did u render it in

Hi all
i work as an interior designer and mainly we focus on cabinet design
but we use sketchup for all owe modeling

we take cad floor plans and extrude all walls put in ceilings & bulkheads then add any interior objects like cabinets plumbing fixtuers ect...
once this has been done and approved or changes made we do sections and export these to autocad the add dimensions & text and lay them out on pages so the cad drawings we create are only as accurate as the sketchup model

but i have always thought CAD was computer aided design

so theres my thoughts

ps sorry bout the spelling

Hi all

I am new to dynamic componets and have made a cabinet
with adjustable shelves in it but i am wondering if there is an easier way to do the following code as its a little confusing to work out probs when it didnt work ?

Im am also trying to make a draw unit aswell but this is proving to be much harder,

Parts of the cabinet I would like to be adjusable

-the draw box height )(between 3 std blum tandem box heights)
-the draw front heights (a defalut of equal unless some one enters a specific size)
-the draw box depth
-cabinet width
-cabinet height
-cabinet depth
and if possblie an opption to add internal draws behind one main front

"shelf code"
