Partitions settings

Front, Back  - Decreases the partitions' depth, changing their position depending on the entered values. Enables creation of various constructions.The deviations are entered individually for each partition.

Left distance - This value defines the position of partitions in the cabinet on its length. On this base the program automatically calculates the length of the shelves. Enter the position of the partitions for first, second and third one in a view front. For first - the distance between the right side of the left panel to the left side of the first partition. For the second partition - the distance between the right side of the left panel to the left side of the second partition and etc.
The structure for automatic proportional allocation of partitions is kept, too. The option Proportionately allocation is active by default. For  unproportionately allocation uncheck the option.

- This button returns you in the drawing to measure the necessary distance. Press the button and specify the distance's two end points. The measured value will be loaded into the field automatically. This operation makes easier the setting of the necessary distances during the partitions' creation.

- The button is activated if the cabinet has two or three partitions and the flag Proportionately allocation is not checked. For a cabinet with two partitions sets  the second partition in regular intervals on the basis of entered left distance for the first partition, thickness of partitions and internal cabinet volume in length. For a cabinet with three partitions set the third partition on base of the left distances of first and second partitions.
FOR EXAMPLE: We take a cabinet 100 cm long, thickness of end panels and partitions is 1,8cm. The left distance for first partition is 25 cm.  Let's click by the button to allocate the residual volume on equal parts.  In result we receive a position of the second partition (left distance) 60,70 cm. The distance between the first and second partitions and between the second partition and right end panel become identical.

For a cabinet with three partitions is entered a  left distance 25 cm, for second 55 cm.  Let's click by the button to allocate the residual volume on equal parts. We receive a position of the third partition (left distance) 75,70 cm. The distance between the second and third partition and between the third partition and right end panel become identical.

- The button is activated if the cabinet has three partitions and the flag Proportionately allocation is not checked. Sets a  proportional distance between the second and third partition on length of a cabinet on the basis of entered distances at the left for the first partition and the residual volume of a cabinet.
FOR EXAMPLE: We take a cabinet 100 cm long, thickness of end panels and partitions is 1,8cm. The left distance for first partition is 25 cm.  Let's click by the button to allocate the residual volume on equal parts. In result we receive a position of the second partition (distance at the left) 48,80 cm, and position by third - 72,60 cm. Thus we receive identical distances between the first and second partition, between the second and third partition, and as between the third partition and right end panel. 


Non-rectangular shaped partitions

By default the shape of partitions is rectangular. To change it click on Edit form. Opens a new window, which set the parameters defining the element shape. The way of work is identical to that described in Top settings. When you save and exit the window the result is loaded into the field for review.


Enter a number of partitions. The button Partition parameters becomes active. The option Proportionaly allocation is selected by default. Remove the mark from the option Proportional division  to define manually the position of partitions. Enter the necessary distances into fields for first, second and third partition, depending on the specified number: from the right side of the left end panel to the left side of a respective partition. 

Distances below and  above  - These values  define a position of each  partition on the cabinet height and reflect on their height. 

Options  Fixes the position of the partition in relation to the right end panel of the unit  andScales the distance depending on the current cabinet dimension - These two options define the behaviour of the partitions for unproportionately allocation and next changing of the cabinet length.  They are active for each partition personally. The options have mutually incompatible action.

  • Option Fixes the position of the partition in relation to the right end panel of the unit- If the option is active, when you change the cabinet length, the distance of the partition from the right end panel doesn't change. The distance to the left end panel changes.
  • Option Scales the distance depending on the current cabinet dimension  - By default the position of the partitions after changing of the cabinet length is fixed to the left end panel.(if the option Fixes the position of the partition in relation to the right end panel of the unit is not checked). If this option is checked, the position of the partition to the left end panel will change proportionally of the cabinet length change.For example: There is a cabinet 100 cm. long with Left distance of the partition 30 cm. Let's change the cabinet length on 200 cm. If the option  Scales the distance depending on the current cabinet dimension is checked , the left distance of the partition becomes 60 cm. If the option is not checked the distance will stay 30 cm.

If there is no checked option, will be saved the entered left distance of the partitions.


Each partition can has personal thickness and element nomenclature.If the option to the right of the Thickness field is checked, the thickness of that partition and its element nomenclature for material will be doubled. The quantity of its edgebands will not change.The kind of the element nomenclature defines by the option  Common nomenclature names and layers for all partitions. 

Option Common nomenclature names and layers for all partitions - When the option is active, it sets the generating of cabinet with common element nomenclatures and layers for all partitions. When it's not checked each partition has its own personal element nomenclature for material and layer for rendering. Creates an element nomenclature for partitions' edgebands, too - Cabinet partitions front edgeband, Cabinet partitions back edgeband, Cabinet partitions bottom edgebandand Cabinet partitions top edgeband ( if the option is checked) or personal for each partition (when the option is not active) - Cabinet 1st partition front edgeband, Cabinet 1st partition back edgeband, Cabinet 1st partition top edgeband, Cabinet 1st partition bottom edgeband, Cabinet 2nd partition front edgeband, Cabinet 2nd partition back edgeband, Cabinet 2nd partition top edgeband, Cabinet 2nd partition bottom edgeband, Cabinet 3rd partition front edgeband, Cabinet 3rd partition back edgeband, Cabinet 3rd partition top edgeband, Cabinet 3rd partition bottom edgeband.
