blueriver Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Can someone tell me how to clip the corner of this cabinet so it will follow the shape of the wall? None of the available cabinet shapes fit this space and I can't find anything in the chief tutorials. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DzinEye Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Select Angled Front cabinet type, then rotate appropriately so the angled front will become the side that is cut off. Then tell what is the left side of the cabinet that will become the front in the new orientation to 'match front'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueriver Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 It won't let me drag it to the correct angle / in line with my walls. Is there a way to draw a custom cabinet? I tried to draw a polyline and convert it but I haven't figured out how to convert to a cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me on this- You DON'T want to make a custom cabinet out of pline, custom symbol, most anything. Don't know what settings you could have that won't allow you to rotate the cabinet or place it- Rotate it on the floor away from wall, then place-EZ. It's possible to build a car out of a cabinet. Check back stuff on the forum-lots already available about cabinets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DzinEye Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Yeah, you can't drag it into an angled shape, you have to tell it the proper dimensions in the Dbx...(see Left Depth / Right Depth in my screenshot) Change your cabinets largest side 'depth' to be the width you want the front of your cabinet to be. Make the other side 'depth' whatever the cut-off back length would end up being. Turn your cabinet sideways so the normal cabinet front will become the angled side wall of the cabinet and your long side will become the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a situation like that, I use a cabinet that is 4.5" deep (to keep my toekick). Keep in mind that an actual cabinet will probably not be mitered to a sharp 45. Rather, the face will be slightly away from the wall and a filler strip would be used...either ripped to 45 into the wall or placed perpendicular to the wall and mitered to the cabinet face. Then, I'd use a polyline to clean up the display in plan view, and a custom countertop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point!....though you can tell the toe-kick Dbx to form on the side that will become the front, but the front which then becomes the side will also have it. That could be easily covered up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DESIGNTEAMALPHA Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Try to use standard base cabinet (2 of 3 parts). Then, third part use also standard base cabinet, but check the FILLER box, so you will have only front face of the base cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
