Curved Glass Cabinet Door

[JennaJenris]

Does anyone know if it would be possible to re-create this door style in Chief? 

[GeneDavis]

The pair are pocket doors, BTW.  Look closely at the image and you'll see the R door in the pocket, its knob plainly visible.  Make each, a R and a L, in Chief using CAD or countertop tool to create a custom door in the exact size needed.  It won't look good stretched or shrunk horizontally but will do OK vertically.

 

Your biggest challenge will be to do the wood grain texture for the frame of the arch.  Break up the surfaces as they are on the cab door in the photo, so you can apply separate textures to each.

To make door start with a countertop, add molding, convert to cabinet door symbol and rotate.

The cabinet arch starts as a solid, convert to symbol. Change origin

Change stretch planes.

Then cabinet DBX front looks like this.

wood grain for door should be ok if done with a molding. Wood grain for the arch part of cabinet would need the solid made in two parts. Make the full size, then copy and trim to two piece s.

The arch in the photo has no horizontal straight.  The arc begins at the top and comes down to the side in tangency.  A vertical stretch plane is of no use, which is why I said to model the door to the size needed and not rely on Y sizing.

Yeah the stretch plains would be different. The one in the photo also does not have the stile of the cabinet coming down. I did not attempt to duplicate the image; had this inset cabinet I did for a client a week or so ago. Thought it might be useful.

This really only takes a couple of minutes to make. Start with an interior door, scale the size, adjust the arch, convert to fixture, add the 3d solid, convert to cabinet door.

You can make it take longer if you want the 45degree woodgrain on the curved piece. If you like it quick, then here's a library symbol.

Here it is.  Six separate parts, including the glass.

 

And the cabinet with a pair of them.

Thank you so much!  You must have created this in X16.. I am still using X15, is it possible to save it down? 

[robdyck]

No, but I can convert it into a 3d symbol that can be imported in X15 and converted to a cabinet door.

Here's the X15 library object.archdoor.calibz

Here's the one I did.  Not sure how the woodgrain will work as I have not tried to import it.  I only needed two woodgrain textures, the dark red oak from the library, and a copied version of it I rotated 45 degrees to make the arc segment of the door glass surround.
