Good day all,

 

I've been looking through the Base Cabinet Specifications dialog and can not figure out how to take this 2" High Drawer and raise the Drawer Bottom up to create a Pull Out Shelf <_<

 

Any suggestions would be helpful, and also which would include it still being able to be viewed as 'Pulled Out'.

 

Thanks - Drew

Can't you just make it a 2" drawer?

Good day,  Yes I suppose, however when the cabinet is actually built it will be a pull out shelf for a laundry basket to sit flat on.

 

I guess kind of like a cutting board that is used as a flat pull out shelf with operable glides as a drawer.

 

That is why I was looking to make it a flush top drawer.

 

What I created is below.

 

I suppose for Illustration Purposes I could leave it's look as a drawer if it can not be done  to be a flush top.

Here is the answer to this...........

 

One can not achieve a Drawer with a Flush/Smooth or Flat Top Surface beyond 1" thick.

 

Kind of like bringing the drawer bottom up and still have sides to hide the glides.

 

CA just does not have that ability within it.

 

For this example there was a need for a Pull Out Flush Drawer (like a shelf of cutting board) to place a clothes hamper on as a Washer/Dryer Pedestal.

 

And be viewed within CA 'As Show Open'.

 

And that is OK.  There 'might' be something in the Cabinet Manufactures Library that has it.  At this time, it is not that important.

 

For now we will go with the included image at 1" for Visual Illustration :D

You might be able to get what you want by creating your own drawer box symbol.  The picture below shows a quick example.  The floating box is a symbol I made out of 3d objects and then I used it for drawer box.

Yes you can
Any mesh can be converted into a millwork/fixture/furniture/hardware symbol category, and any of those symbol categories can be used as a drawer box:
