RHDesigns Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hello , I would like to know how do I clip the back of a cabinet , I work / design for a true custom shop and the client has requested a an over depth cabinet but I need to clip the back at an angle ? so I would like to know how to clip the back or separate all the comments of the cabinet? the cabinet is going into an angled Alcove which is why i need to clip it, the front of the cabinet is also angled but that is an easy task , clipping the back is where I am lost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 What I would do is to use a regular cabinet for elevations and renders. If necessary you could do an elevation of that or those cabinets and merely add the necessary geometry with 2D CAD, and clean that view up using the "Edit Line" tool after sending to the layout. If you must, for some reason be more exact you could create a custom cabinet symbol in Sketch Up for importation into Chief but I consider that overkill.

Chopsaw Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 See if this method can be modified to work for you. If not I believe @Alaskan_Son has a special way of making a cabinet symbol within chief and clipping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermot Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 You might be able to make an angled front cabinet, remove the face on the front and then put a face on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
