Page Elements




 

In this page are described all element nomenclatures of the generated cabinets. The nomenclature names can be edited by entering new names into the fields. The entered in such a way unique nomenclature concern only with the current generated unit. At the subsequent opening of the module the given by default names will be restored. If you want to save the entered names, set them in a mode by default.

Allows rotation of detail dimensions for all elements - The button permits to turn the sizes of all elements from the cutting list. It is recommendatory  to use basically for one-colored materials for optimization of cutting. Double click of the right mouse button permit or cancel the rotation of the single element's sizes.

Rotation of all elements in a mode by default - The button restores and sets in section the program settings by default irrespective of current. 


Sets the base (system) names of the elements as current - Returns the names of the generated element nomenclatures by default as current
Sets the current names of the elements in a mode by default - Sets the entered into the fields element nomenclatures as parameters by default

These 2 buttons allow the parallel usage of the current names of the element nomenclatures, saved by default and the base (system) names of the elements (they sets during installation of the software).  To set your user names as base /  system, enter their names into the form, press Sets the current names of the elements in a mode by default and then press the button Sets the base (system) names of the elements as current. In this way at the next opening of the module the entered by you names of the element nomenclatures will be active .

The right-hand list with the cabinet's elements contains information for details, for which the rotation of the sizes for cutting is allowed. The parameter sets for each detail separately and concern with the generated block only. The double click of the left mouse button on the detail's  name changes the value of the parameter Allows rotation of the detail dimensions for operation Cutting (Ok or No). The entered information is used for cutting map formation and allows its optimization. If you use one-coloured materials or the texture direction does not matter, press the button Allows rotation of the all details' sizes for optimal cutting out map.






Page Layers


Colour combinations of the contour lines - The color schemas are combinations of colors for the contour lines of the different elements in the unit .To save a schema, choose the colors, enter a schema's name into the field New scheme creation, and press the button Save combination. To load an already saved schema, select it in the list and press the button Set combination. The purpose of this operation is the easily and quickly loading of the created combination and there isn't necessary to enter the schemes each time.To delete created construction, select it in the list and press Delete combination.
You can set a different color for each detail's contour. The colour of shelves' contours depends on their  way of dimension drawing  - On clear size or On centre. The choice of colour makes by pressing the button from the right of the name of each layer. The window  Colors opens. Specify a colour (press the mouse left button on the needed). Then press the Set button. The specified colour of the contour lines of the details can be set in a mode by default.


You can change the layers' name into the respective field (enter  the new name in it).
Sets the current names of layers in a mode by default - Sets the entered names of layers into the fields in a mode by default.




Additional elements



The program supports 2 ways of insertion of elements to the generated cabinet:


Entering of additional element nomenclatures -  The section allows a manual entering of additional elements for the generated cabinet. They remain when you save the cabinet as a temlate. The entered elements concern only with this unit and they will be not  active after an exit from the module.
-  Press this button to add  a row to the list Nomenclature of additional elements. If you want to make the nomenclature active, select it and press Load  nomenclature from the list. The deleting makes by a similar way, but you have to use the button Delete nomenclature from the list.


Choice of additional elements from the nomenclatures - The buttons on the right of the textual fields are buttons for a choice. They open Nomenclature elements for a choice of elements for addition. The added thus elements remain active after an exit  from the module.

The added additional elements are not shown on the screen. They participate in price formation only.


Page Dimensioning


Parameters by default - Dimensioning

   In this page are specified the distances of  cabinet elements for dimensioning. The dimensioning can be made in relation to the centres of the material thickness  for  partitions, panels, bottom and top (if the option "Show distances on the centres for PARTITION FROM THE  LEFT - PANELS  INSIDE - TOP DOWN and for BOTTOM BELOW" is active) or in relation to their bottom point. The not specified in the form distances of the details are shown on the right of the drawing.

Dimensioning the shelves and drawers from below upwards (switched off) / from above downwards (switched on) to the adjacent element - When the option isn't checked, the shelves and drawers will be dimensioned in direction from below - upwards. When it's active - rom above - downwards to the adjacent element (partition or side panel - left or right).

If you want to turn off the showing of the lists with the thicknesses of elements and their colours in the dimensioned sketch, the options  Show a list with the thicknesses of elements and/or Show a list with the colours of elements have to be unchecked. This is necessary for cabinets with a lot of elements to avoid the congestion of the drawing.


Page Shelves

Page Shelves

Here sets the parameters and the way of dimensioning for shelves by default (for Dimensioning by Cabinet module).

Dimensioning On centre and On clean size - In the first case, the size applies from the end of the adjacent element (ånd panel or partition) to the half shelf thickness. In the second - towards its down edge. The choice becomes inactive if you select a shelf support scheme. 

Template schemes of shelf supports - They adjust the generating of shelves with shelf supports to them. The shelf supports create own element nomenclature for pricing. On the image of selected scheme is written the text current choice . In this case the dimensioning applies toward the center of pin diameter. The actual scheme settings are shown into the list Template schemes of shelf supports.  They can be edited and the made changes are saved by button Edit template scheme .

To set a listed scheme in a mode by default, select it and press Save. This way it will be applied by default for next cabinet generating.


Page Drawers
Drawers settings

Thickness of drawers' bottom  - The value in the field set the bottom thickness for all generated drawers.  The active check box double its thickness and amount of elemental NOMENCLATURE for pricing and cutting. The bottom thickness for drawers, generated before the change does not change automatically during the cabinet's editing(old value is retained).

Back on the bottom / Back behind the bottom -  When the option is active the drawer's back panel is on the bottom. When it is switched off the design Back behind the bottom  becomes active.
Bottom inside/ Bottom below - If the option is active, the drawer's bottom is between its panels  and its size will decrease with the thickness of their material. When this flag is not checked, the bottom position is under its panels.
Edgeband on left and right  back panel's edge - The option set the edgebanding of the left and right edge of the  drawer's back panel (for drawers METABOX ).
Edgebands all invisible not covered sides - If this option is chosen, all uncovered, but  invisible parts of drawer details will be covered by edgeband. Otherwise the ending will be executed only for the uncovered and visible sides of  front and back  drawer panels.

Edgebanding the bottom front edge, Edgebanding the bottom back edge -  These options set the edgebanding of the front and/ or back side of the drawers' bottom. They are enabled for drawers "Metabox"

Change the depth -This parameter specify a value for increasing/ decreasing the drawers' depth depending on its slider's length. The positive values decrease its depth, the negative increase it. The entered value loads in the field Change the depth in the window Shelves' parameters for concrete section. The length of the drawer slider doesn't change. You have to re-enter the drawers' parameters in window  Shelves' parameters after changing the value into this field .
Distance of back panel - The value set the decreasing (or increasing) of the drawer's back panel length (for drawers METABOX). The negative values increase their length and the positive decrease it. The entered value loads automatically into the field with such a name in the window  Shelves parameters for the respective section.

Additional raising of the drawer case - This value concerns with all generated cabinet drawers. It sets the value for additional raising of drawer box (it doesn't include the value of box parameter  Distance below in the window Shelves' parameters ). The entered value does not influence on the generated by operation Group addition and deleting of units doors' position.  For example: you have entered a value for additional raising = 0.5 centimeters and position " On Z " =0.   The box occupies a position from a floor = 0.5 cm. but door (facade) to it  has a position from a cabinet base point = 0 (front bottom left point).

Page Other

Cabinet-other settings

Automatic scaling of distances of the non-rectangurlar  details -
The option defines whether to scale automatically the distances of the elements with nonrectangular form, when the external dimensions of the cabinet are changed.The option is not active at the first generation of the unit.The scaling is not executed for the entered radiuses of the nonrectangular forms.

Save as unit

Option by default.  Specifies saving of the polyelement form as block (basic point - bottom front left).You must remove the mark if you want to use the generated cabinet for additional processing in the additional module to the program New Base and save it as other unit. The option Creates the element nomenclature switches off automatically in this case.



Section Back panel

Butted to end panels - Back panel distance

Parameter defines the position of the back panel in conformity with the external cabinet sizes. The positive value decreases the back panel sizes, and negative increases them. Parameter is set by default and defines a deviation of the cabinet back panel at the generating of its nomenclature.

Dado joint - Between panels- This is the value of parameter by default of the distance of the of a back panel inside on a cabinet depth at Dado joint  or rabbeted joint. It automatically loads into a field Between panels of the window Construction settings - back panel in the module Cabinet.

Dado joint / rabbeted joint - Dado - This is the value by default of the distance of the back panel on which it cuts into adjoined to it elements (top, bottom and end panels) at Dado joint  or rabbeted joint. It automatically loads into a field Dado of the window Construction settings - back panel in the module Cabinet.




Page Exploded view

Here sets the exploded view scheme parameters. The fields Line 1  and Line 2  contain the explanatory texts to the created scheme.

The option Delete a unique code from the elements' name relates to exploded view only. The generated element nomenclatures save the entered  unique code.

Section Mode of sizes' visualization - Here defines how to be described the elements in the specifications to the reports Exploded view and Dimensioning.

  • Length - Height - Depth - When the option is checked,  the elements will participate in the reports with their sizes  on all three directions of unit depending on their position in it.

  • Length - Width- When the option is checked the sizes of elements will participate in the reports on two directions : on length and on width of an element. In this case the elements with a unit of measure "l.m"  will have only length.

Show the elements with a unit of measure "l.m" in the list - The option defines the inclusion or not of the elements with unit of measure "l.m"  in the lists of the reports Exploded view and Dimensioning.
