Heather_Anderson Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Cheif X5 user. Thanks in advance for your answers!

Alaskan_Son Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Can you be a little more specific? What does the face look like? What is the intended function of the "cabinet"? What do you mean by 12" leg (12" tall, 12" wide, etc.)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 That would have to be a custom made cabinet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather_Anderson Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Its a 24" wide cabinet there is a front horizontal door panel that is 12" an angled door panel about 17" and an end panel 12" vertical back to the wall. In the pic of the plan that I attached I have put in a right end cabinet it's not quite what I want, I drew line work to mimic what I am after.

Must be built as 2- 12" wide cabinets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Could you use a corner pantry and change the height? I wish I had Chief with me as I am just guessing without giving it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Glen nailed it. So obvious really. Makes me feel stupid. You can hold control and resize in plan view or use dimensions in DBX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy, I wish you could post a plan or be more specific, I don't get the process GW is espousing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Create diagonal corner cabinet as usual. move to where you want it and adjust sides and length of diagonal. I put panels on the sides but can leave blank or change to whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 D dot, Chief has a full height corner pantry (it's the same shape as requested) I am suggesting using that and reducing it's height to match the lower cabinets. You would probably need to use a custom counter top. Actually, after reading Dennis's post, you can probably just place a lower cabinet in a corner, size it, and then move it.

Joe_Carrick Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Actually, Chief has (in the Library) a Corner Base Cabinet that can be resized and edited to get that shape - but it doesn't have a Door on either of the faces adjacent to the backs. Of course you can put a panel on one side to emulate what the OP wanted but it's not exactly the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 All right all right, I was being a bit of a dunderhead...... but....... with the corner cab solution, and Glenn, yes you can do that with a pantry, but you can also do that with a corner upper or a corner base...... but but but....... it takes some work to get a door at the "FRONT"....... I think my two cabinet solution still might be best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Now that I am back in front of Chief, this seems easily doable. Place a standard base cabinet. Change it's type to a Corner (after changing it's size as per the prompt). You can then configure your 45deg Door, Left Side and Right side as required., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See post #6. That is what I want. I believe it takes two separate cabinets. I think you are saying you can do it with one cabinet. I agree you can put some PANELS on the sides, but you can not put doors with door knobs, and they certainly will not show opening indicators and you will not be able to stack doors on top of each other on all 3 faces. I understand what I show is probably not practical, but I am trying to do something the OP wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Scott - that is not what I saw as the requested cabinet in the original post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis_Gavin Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 basically a corner cabinet but not in the corner with the size changes for the legs. Maybe Heather can tell me/us if that is correct. I thought that was what Joe was thinking also. (bad enough trying to state what I think let alone someone else!)

Joe_Carrick Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 This is what Heather asked for: I used (as Scott properly suggested) 2 cabinets. I Blocked them together and specified in the Block dbx that they should be treated as a single cabinet. If the Cabinet Schedule includes "other" then the cabinet will show in the Schedule. If you want to change the Description in the Cabinet Schedule - just open the Block's Component dbx and edit it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 See that. I was wrong again. I did not realize she wanted an operable door on the front side. Oh well...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Yup, The corner cabinet really doesn't work too well because of door and toe kick problems, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJSpud Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Here's my take on what the OP has asked for. In the images below I used a corner base with a diagonal front and then adjusted the dimensions by dragging the diagonal front corners until I got it where I wanted it. Accidentally started with the cabinet as a frameless one and didn't notice that until later. Note that I have the doors with 3/8" reveal so to get the OP's 12" side door dimensions, I made those side dimensions 12-3/4" total. The diagonal door came out at about 17" wide as requested. The only problem I see with doing the cabinet this way is that you can only have a toe kick on the front (diagonal) side if it is a corner cabinet. I am not sure that that would have been the case if I had drug the original 36" x 36" corner base I started with out away from the corner and then made it an end cabinet before adjusting the dimensions. I just added door panels to the sides as shown. If the OP tries to drag the corner base out from the corner, change it to an end cabinet (if possible), then edit the dimensions, etc. as I did, maybe more toe kick will be available (if needed) than what I had available with the corner cabinet. It would be nice to be able to have the option within the cabinet specification dbx of including hardware (pulls) on the side panels, even if they are unoperable and the pulls are only for looks.
