Create Pull Out Drawer as Pull Out Shelf

[Drew-PRH]

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.

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.

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

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:

Great idea - thank you!  And it would not take that much time to do.

Rene, Wow - that sounds pretty easy

 

However, I just tried that and I am using x16 on this one, and the Style Dropdown is not available from the Base Cabinet Specification: Appliance/Door/Drawer - Specify, then opens Drawer Face Item Specifications.

 

Might you be using X17?

 

Thanks - Drew

Got it - Thank you.

 

I did try that before and looking for storage box but had no results come up.  Closed and opened back up, and found it.  How odd.

 

Thank you!!

Success - Thanks Rene.

 

After I located the 'Storage Box' (CA was not finding it the first time I tried - closed, open, found it)

 

I saved the 'Storage Box' to User Catalog', Changed some dimensions and materials - Voilà

Quick question re. draw box symbol creation for the Chief wizards:

 

Will symbol stretch planes work in this case allowing the symbol to re-size to different drawer sizes, or does the symbol need to be built to exact size?

 

(I tried this yesterday with stretch planes and could not figure it out)
