Double door base cabinet

Anonymous
Not applicable
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,

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