Breeze_Design Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I have a request for a custom cabinet and wondering if I can achieve this in X16? I have a full height cabinet and need t sink another cabinet into the side of it as a medicine cabinet My only issue is the side view does not show the med cabinet shelves as they're blocked by the cabinet side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Make a solid, cut a hole in it, convert to cabinet door. Used a framed cabinet set separation to suit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Alaskan_Son Posted January 31 Solution Share Posted January 31 You can also just create the hole in the side by using a Custom Face for the Left side and then using Openings, Separations, and Blank Areas: For the notched shelves, I just created a custom shelf symbol using a solid and applied it to that face item. NOTE: If you need/want to display Cabinet Module Lines in any of your vector views, then Mark's approach using a custom panel for the side hole might be better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Here's the plan I used in the above post if you want to explore the settings: Cabinet plan.plan And an alternate frameless version that I think looks a bit more like what you were aiming for: Cabinet plan (Frameless Med).plan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I had expected to need notched shelves but you don't unless you want a cap between them and the med cabinet for realism. They will not protrude into the cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Thanks for the great idea, @Breeze_Design! Chopping a hole and inserting a meds cab into the side of an adjacent linen cab is a wonderful use of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can I have it go horixontal to match the rest of the cabinet side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple options: Use Mark's method and just create a custom symbol for that side panel Use the method I posted but change all the Separations and/or Blank Areas on that one side to Inset Side Panels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
