 Cabinets - Generated multielement units

Construction settings - Back panel

Back panel position

The option sets the back panel construction settings for the generated unit.

These icons are buttons for a choice of the back panel position. Press the left button on the image to choose position. The repeated pressing restores construction Butted to side panels. Here is possible to change the back panel thickness entering new value into the field Thickness.

 Possible back panel positions:
Butted to side panels  - Changes a back panel position, increasing the outer size of the cabinet in depth with the value of the back panel's thickness.
without sizes' change - Automatically decreases  the size of all elements, shelves and partitions depending on the back panel thickness. The option doesn't change the cabinet sizes. It is active only if parameter Butted to side panels is checked.
Between panels - Sets a value for the back panel moving forward to the cabinet face depending on its initial position. The option is active for all back panels positions. The distance can be measured using the button which takes place on the left from the field.  If the option Changing the depth of the adjoining to the Back panel elements is selected, the depth of the cabinet elements, which size depends on back panel's position (partitions, shelves and drawers), will be automatically decreased with this value.
The additional parameters for distances from below and from above define the residual size of a back (visually and as element nomenclature) and its position on a cabinet height. They have direct dependence on the chosen positions of the back panel and allow generating of other cabinet models (some models of desks and tables too). For example: if the option Butted to side  panels is active, to the entered distances from below and from above automatically will be added the value Distance of back panel from the external size (window Parameters by default).

For option Dadoed side panels the back panel will be generated according to the values  Between panels and  Dado , and then will be decreased  with the distances from below and from above.

Distances on  left and from the right allow you to generate a back only as a part of the cabinet length. For example: back panel from a partition to the right panel of the cabinet (it will be open from the left panel to this partition).

Generate back panels between partitions  -  This option divides the back panel  in some areas between cabinet's end panels and partitions. The images of the possible variants are also buttons for a choice (press the mouse left button on the image to select it). If you want to exclude the generating of the back panel for any area, remove the mark in the list Areas for back panel generating.
