Panels - Automatic Door Panels (Explained)

It is popular for Designers/Drafters to add End Panels as a separate object. We have added Base, Upper, Tall and Vanity 'End Panels' with basically three options.

  1. Left Facing Door
  2. Right Facing Door
  3. Panel Part (Case part)

In general the parts within the object should automatically face and size as required. Side bar attributes are there as a way of overriding the automated decisions when desired.

Tip: End Panels automatically resize/rename as a Filler (on edge) in the following situations...

  • End Panel is between two cabinets
  • End Panel is between one cabinet and the wall end
