how can I delet this board in the cabinet object

Hi guys,

I am playing around with ac cabinet objects. Can I delet this board? Because I need to have two segments, the upper one is fix board, but in this cabinet the space is single.

Operating system used: Windows 11 - 22631

As an object, I don't think you can, as each segment seems to have a base that you can't turn off.

If you don't need it to remain as an object, you could change it to a morph.

But that may bring other problems.

Thank you Barry.

And I think I will not convert it to morph, yes, that will bring other problems.

With a bit of messing around, you could place a slab inside the cabinet where the shelf is and then use a Solid Element Operation to subtract it from the object.

The hide that slab in a layer that you can turn off.

Can some gdl lines seperate each panel from the other ?

If you know how to script GDL you could simply add an option to turn the shelf on or off.

With GDL you can do pretty much what ever you want to do.

In fact, I don't use the default cabinets at all, I have my own scripted object that does just what I want it to do.

But even my object does not have an option for a fixed panel above the doors, but knowing GDL I could add that if it was important to me.

I know very few little of GDL, and I am sick of reading so many layers of "CALL" in GDL scripts. It like movie Inception.

For now, this board is not important to me. So I will leave it as it is.😜
