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

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.

Here's the plan I used in the above post if you want to explore the settings:

And an alternate frameless version that I think looks a bit more like what you were aiming for:

Michael,

The piece above the cutout has the grain running in the wrong direction.  How can I have it go horixontal to match the rest of the cabinet side?

A couple options:

  1. Use Mark's method and just create a custom symbol for that side panel
  2. Use the method I posted but change all the Separations and/or Blank Areas on that one side to Inset Side Panels.
