RHDesigns Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I am looking for a solution to creating a square leg chase in a cabinet ! I would like to apply a leg to the front of a cabinet , example a 3' x 3' leg from the catalog . When i select apply post to the face of the cabinet it apply it to the face therfore making the cabinet deeper like an off set post ! I would like it integrated into the cabinet face . Not seeing where I can modify a base cabinet to complete this and figure I could get an answer from an advanced user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHDesigns Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Hope this helps !!! We do this at our cabinet shop often ( The CADD department does it in cabinet vision , great for Cabinet CNC machine not so much for design) I have a client who would like the leg in the face of the cabinet , best way is a square cut out at the corner of the cabinet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHDesigns Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 The leg is recessed into the cabinet, when I place it via the cabinet modifications it places on the face 24" + leg equal 27 1/2 depth .. I need the leg to be flush with the front so I would describe it as a right angle chase cut into the cabinet face , the leg needs to be at the corner of the cabinet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Use framed construction- if frameless just set to 3/4" separation. Set left and right separations to "0", split face, convert left to opening, split again and make opening on right. Etc. Depending on needs may have to use 0 toe kick and then fake that. Here's a quick start. corner.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 and if you need to close the cuts make a door symbol from a slab and adjust origin and lock depth, add to side as "side panel inset" See post on cabinet hacks in tips section using that principal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Winsor Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Or you could use a pair of skinny cabinets on each side to create your needed chase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Eric's method and Rich's are both simpler and easier. I use the more complicated one so that I can get a cabinet of the correct size and the legs into a cabinet schedule. (the legs are door symbols placed into a cabinet that is openings on 3 sides.)
