Interiorcad materials and presets default

[David E.Labovitz]

When I draw a new cabinet (using Cabinet 3D) it has two sides, top and bottom.  But all are of arbitrary thickness, in my case .787 (20mm) .  The same thing happens for cabinet  doors.

 

1 -- I'm using 18mm plywood.  How do I set a default that will specify .709 (18mm) v. .787 ?

 

2 -- Cabinet door overlays and offsets are also preset.  How can I change these?

 

3 -- If I need to reconstruct files, which ones and how?

 

Thanks,

 

Dave.

Hi Dave,

We have a FAQ article on managing the material database. https://en.extragroup.de/faq/ search for "material". Let me know if questions remain. Thanks!

Hi Dave, 

 

I am not sure if my answer is relevant of not, but will give a try. 

You might need to set up the Units before builidng up your cabinet library, this will save you lots of time from cabinet adjustments later. I have attached a couple of pictures below: 

 

You need to give one extra decimal number to increae the accuracy. 

 

 

It's better to save the settings as a template for future jobs. 

 

I hope my answer is helpful. 

 

Regards,
