Group addition and deleting of units

Here you can insert automatically 3 kinds of units: doors, drawers fronts and  handles.

- Shows a list with parameters  by default of the operations in the module.

Position of handles on X from a corner,  Position of handles on Y from a corner - Sets a deviation of the handles base point in relation to the base point of the doors or to  the calculated point for the upper doors. Thickness of doors - The value of this parameter is used for adding handles with the purpose of their automatic positioning in front of the doors. Automatically decrease the generated doors length  -  The entered value uses for automatic decreasing of the sizes of the generated doors (front). Therefore when you enter the sizes of doors it is unnecessary to reduce their lengths.

Addition of handles

Select all doors and fronts, on which you want to put handles in the Register of participating in the drawing units.Choose in Description of units in a submenu the handle, necessary for you, and define its alignment on doors on X (left ,centering, right). The position of handles on height of doors is defined automatically for upper and base cabinets. The differentiation is a position from a floor level 100cm. The distance on Y in relation to a door adds to the already calculated position of handles. The parameter for door thickness concerns the fronts, too ((in this case a priority has the value Pozition on Z of the selected door towards the entered in  Parameters by default.). You can see the sizes of the chosen handle under the field. These fields are  active and this allows you to change the values in them (enter the new value in the field). The edition concerns to the current generating only.

Addition of doors
	From library - Select in the Register of participating in the project units those cabinets, to which you want to add doors.Use the key Shift for consecutive selection in the list or Ctrl for selection of unnext rows. Choose the necessary door  (Main menu - > Submenu - > Description of units in a submenu).
It is reasonably the sizes of the selected units from the drawing and the chosen door to be identical on X and on Y. The sizes of doors change automatically in conformity to the sizes of the cabinet, without decreasing the sizes depending on the entered value in the form Parameters by default. From the generated doors - Choose in the Register of participating in the project units: those cabinets, to which you want add doors and press the button Add units. The module Doors - Generating of multielement unit  becomes active. Choose a door model for insertion to the chosen cabinets. All parameters and options in the form are active except the sizes and position. They are controlled automatically on base of the cabinets sizes and positions. The door thickness depends on the value in field Thickness of doors (operation Group addition and deleting of units - > section     Parameters by default). If the door sizes (height and/or length) are too small, some models of doors will not be generated. This becomes a reason for a emergency end of the operation. Doors to cabinets with  baseboards have to be added with the module Fronts. Here you can set a position of the doors on height of the cabinet (on Z). Fronts insertion

Press Cabinet and select unit in the drawing or specify it in the list Register of participating in the drawing units (use  double click of the left button on the selected row).  Enter the fronts sizes and position (on height) for the chosen cabinet (Position on Z). Use the keys Tab or Enter for moving  the cursor between the fields. If you want to add group of doors or fronts with different sizes and positions,  you have to edit the values in the fields manually. Put the mouse pointer into the field. It becomes an arrow.  Mark the value into the field. Enter a new value. The positions on Z and X are defined to the cabinet base point (front bottom left). Then press the button Add units. The module Doors - Generating of multielement unit  loads. You have to choose a door model for addition here. The shown example adds two doors to the generated cabinet.

Use the buttons on the right of the fields to return in the drawing and to take the dimensions of the necessary distances. The measured distances loads into the fields.

Position on X - Sets a position of the generated doors  to the cabinet base point on its length.

Position on Y  - Sets a position of the generated doors to the cabinet base point on its depth.

Position on  Z - Sets distance of the generated doors on the cabinet  height.

- That button cancels the entered values for dimensions and position of door or front in the row.

inner door - The option is active only for units generated by the module Cabinet  for these designs:

1. The bottom and top overlaps the end panels - when bottom, top and the end panels haven't a front distance. The end panels can have a deviation inside. 

2. End panels overlap the bottom and top  - The option Top above can be checked or not. For  bottom and top the deviation can be  Upwards and Downwards.

You can put doors inside a cabinet. Select the option and press one of the buttons for automatic allocation. The doors  parameters and sizes load automatically . The generated door will be placed inside the cabinet (between top, bottom and end panels). If the option is not checked, the doors cover  the whole cabinet  face. Before you set doors or fronts with uncovered edgeband, you ought to have been set a front distance for the shelves (respectively drawers), which has to be equal to the thickness of the fronts (doors). In that case they won't overlap each other.

  When  bottom and /or top have a negative front distance or the end panels have a deviation inside, the doors cover the cabinet end panels and if  the bottom or top have not deviation - cover them  too.

These settings apply to units generated with the module Cabinet.  

-The operation automatically calculates and adjusts parameters of doors for design " 2 doors " to the chosen cabinet. When calculates the position and sizes of the doors, the program checks whether the cabinet has a baseboard (individual or common) or legs. If the cabinet has only legs when defines the position of doors on Z uses the leg's height. If the cabinet has a baseboard, the priority takes the value of baseboard height. Select cabinet and press the button. For sink cabinets takes the worktop thickness too. The length and position of two doors calculates depending on  the position  of the partition on X. The first door cover the left end panel and first half of partition thickness, and the second - the second half of the partition thickness to the cabinet right end panel. It is used for unit with one partition mostly. For the other cabinets sets two equal doors.

Choose cabinet and press this button to attach doors.

- The option automatically calculates the position and dimensions of 1 door to the chosen cabinet depending on  the baseboard height (individual or common) and height of the legs. For sink cabinets takes the worktop thickness, too. It is used for unit without partitions mostly. For the other cabinets sets one door that cover  the whole face of the unit.

 -If the chosen cabinet has not partitions and there are drawers to it, the information for the drawers fronts sizes (length and height)  loads in the table automatically. The specified sizes can be edited. When there is entered front distance for generated drawer, it will be loaded too.  In this way you can create an effect of the opened drawer (enter a  negative value for front distance). This distance value loads into the field Position on Y.

- This operation is similar to the  above mentioned, but concerns an one partition cabinet.

- This operation is similar to the above the mentioned, but concerns cabinet with two partitions. 

 - The operation automatically calculates the sizes and generates two doors, set one over the other, towards the chosen cabinet.

- The operation automatically calculates and adjusts parameters of doors for a design  3 doors  to the chosen cabinet. When calculates the position and sizes of doors, the program checks whether the cabinet has a baseboard (individual or common) or legs. If the cabinet has only legs when defines the position of doors on Z uses the leg's height. If the cabinet has a baseboard, the priority takes the value of baseboard height. 

The first door cover the left end panel and first half of the first partition thickness; the second - from the second half of the first partition thickness to the second half of the second partition; and the third - the second half of second partition to the cabinet right end panel.

- The operation automatically calculates and adjusts parameters of doors for a design  4 doors  to the chosen cabinet. When calculates the position and sizes of doors, the program checks whether the cabinet has a baseboard (individual or common) or legs. If the cabinet has only legs when defines the position of doors on Z uses the leg's height. If the cabinet has a baseboard, the priority takes the value of baseboard height. It is used for unit with three partitions mostly. For the other cabinets sets four equal doors.  

Delete units - Select an element from the list Participating in the drawing units or some simultaneously and press the button.

Replaces units - The operation is intended for group or individual replacement of units from the drawing with others. The added new units automatically get  the position, angle of rotation and sizes of the units, chosen for change. 

This example replaces all doors from one model in the drawing. 

1. Choose in the list with participating in the drawing units the door model which you want to replace.
2. Select the option From the generated doors.
3. Press Replaces units.
4. Choose a door model for replacement.

Handles replacement:

1. Choose some handles for change in the list with participating in the drawing units.
2. Choose the handle model from the menu in the left part of the window for change.
3. Press Replaces units.
