Good Morning. 

 

I'm still very new to C.A. and trying to figure out how to place a horizontal filler vs. vertical. Seems like it should be easy...but not finding where/how to do this. Much appreciated in advance. :)

There is no built in "horizontal filler" tool but there are lots of ways to do things like this including using cabinets, shelves, partitions, soffits, polyline solids, symbols, and others.  Might be best to post a picture of what you are trying to accomplish and someone might have better recommendations.

I just figured out the polyline tool....working on that now. Thank you. 

 

I'm trying to create a custom panel for a murphy bed. We are using panels and solid stock or fillers to create it. See the "rough" drawing. :)

I would use a cabinet to design the panel.  Cabinets in Chief are very powerful and allow a ton of customization.  The ability to subdivide a face into whatever components you want and then customize the components can do so many things.  You can setup stiles and rails to be whatever sizes you want with custom panels in between.

I'm guessing you mean IRL? Thought that interesting problem for cabinets, still DB is correct for that method.

If you were doing rails and stile construction, then it would be like making a door symbol from a cabinet. But if you are taking a sheet and placing solid stock on TOP of it to look like rails and stiles that is different.

The next 3 are to have the rails and stiles proud of the panel.

 

The 5th one is for it to be completely accurate and show the edge lines where they meet. image.thumb.png.504f51adf88b44fa3d1be26c3ceae42c.png
