Inset cabinet doors

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:56:44 GMT

I am looking for a library of kitchen cabinets that provide for inset style doors with visible stiles and rails. The only posts I could find on this subject date back to 2008 and weren't very helpful. Thank you

The standard Archicad kitchen cabinets have 10 different door styles plus you can create your own custom panels if you want.

Can you show an image of what you are after?

Yes. Here is an image. How do you customize a door? The options are extremely limited in the dialog box.

There is a custom panel option among the available Door panel types.
Save your custom door panel and select the custom panel option, then you will be able to apply this custom panel to your Cabinet doors.

You can do custom door panels, but that won't get your inset frame. Both the SmartParts Library and the Cadimage Cabinets do inset doors. I have both, and probably the Cadimage ones will give you the most flexibility. David Maudlin has a set of cabinets in his Residential Library with an inset parameter, too, but they are relatively rudimentary. Might work for you, though. Depends on how finicky you want to get with your cabinets.

Yes I see - the doors are not the problem.
It is the framing between the doors & drawers that you need.
I haven't studied the standard Archicad objects but I don't think they will have the option you need.
If they don't you will need to look at 3rd arty objects as Richard suggested.

Thank you. I will investigate 3rd party libraries more thoroughly. First time around I couldn't tell exactly what was in the various libraries.
