Double door base cabinet

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:57:42 GMT

Has anyone noticed that when you change the width of the library kitchen base cabinet with the double doors, that the doors do not change equally? For example, if I change the base cabinet width to 36", one door may be 24" and the other may be 12" instead of both being 18". I have noticed this in v8 and v9. I also noticed this in a render from a post here about three months ago. Why does the base cabinet do this? The upper wall cabinets and tall cabinets with double doors don't.

Thanks,
Jim

Jim:

For the Cab Base 2D object, in the Parameters section, in the Door subsection is the parameter "Same Door Widths". This could be the source of your problem.

Thanks David,

I can't believe that I missed that. I've been fighting this too long.

Thanks again,

Jim

It's definitely a strange parameter. Somehow I always thought the default should be "equal" with an option fo asymmetrical....
