GeneDavis Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago I think I've run up against hard-coded behavior in Chief's cabinet tools (blind cabinet face items) that won't let me do this. See the picture. Chief won't build me an applied blind panel, nor will it let me control door width. A no-toekick frameless base cab of 32" width needs a flush panel (3/4" painted plywood, edgebanded) over its blind end at the size shown, with the door, which is hinged off the panel, sized as shown. I show where the cabinet bears against the adjacent run of base. Note the door's top reveal, which is 3/8", is not repeated for the flush panel. How is this done as a forced-build that when placed, retains, locked, all its face elements built per this spec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrieS Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Not quite perfect since the reveal applies to the panel but close-ish. I used "Slab MDF Door" so I could see the edges but if you use a regular slab door the separation and the panel will merge.

MarkMc Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Not at computer now. Cabinet framed, 3/4" separation, turn off auto build blind. Set cabinet reveal to 0, then increase where needed. If it won't let you use opening. Copy rename slab door. The rest should be ex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted 7 hours ago Author Share Posted 7 hours ago Thanks @CarrieS! I had not made it clear in my model that the fixed slab panel to the R of the hinges is one piece. The colored area and dimension is there to show exactly where the adjacent basecab butts to the blind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrieS Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago I initially thought that but then I saw the dimension and second guessed myself Just like me to make it harder than necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) @CarrieSthis box can be thought of as one with a vertical separation, flanked by a hinged door on left side, a door panel on right side, each door opening different. Ane ech door different. The reveal of the 3/4 separation is 1/8", and when the box is placed against the side of another, it CANNOT behave as a blind. How can I do this? I tried without success.

CarrieS Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago If you make it an Architectural Block it wont interact with the other cabinets at all and you can still put it in your Cabinet Schedule. You can either Shift+Select or click and drag select and you'll get the "Make Architectural Block" option on the Edit Toolbar. Or you can turn off the "Create Automatic Blind Corner Cabinets" setting in the General Cabinet Defaults like Mark mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted 3 hours ago Author Share Posted 3 hours ago Thanks! I'm all set. Didn't realize the check for blind behavior was in general defaults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
