Thanks. I’ve come across a couple issues below if you can help please:

 

The front double backs are set to groove, but it doesn’t appear to be cutting it out of the side panel on the 3D image. Am i missing something?

 

Also, the rear double backs are set to mortice/tenon but they are creating a hole below the cut out on the side panel. I know about the groove/oversizing settings, but that doesn’t seem to get rid of it.

Hi,

I hope this video’s helpful

It’s easier to add a square with inner tooling if you are novice in CAD drawing

All the best, Alexandre

That’s fine, seeing how you did the main curve has helped a lot. Just struggling to add any extra’s to it, such as the square cut-out. When i opened the editor it changed the curve entirley, as if i was starting from scratch.

How did you add the square cut-out after creating the curve?
I only have an old copy of the outline on dxf, you may need to remove the previous mortise-tenon cut outs.

I did it very roughly,

can you send me the real form of the side in dxf?

If you open the model, you can restore and see the curve I made

Hi Alexandre,

 

Thanks for that. I’ve just done the main curve shape as you have, but struggling to add the cut-out shape half way down and the lip at the bottom. Can you send across in a video please?

 

Thanks,

Hi, 

 

Closed curve should be use for cabinet view from top in free shape mode or inner tooling

 

May an open curve in angle tooling is more useful for your project

Please find cabinet Upload for example (In Polyboard 7.06a)

 

Hope that’s helpful, Alexandre

I’m trying to add an angle to the side panel of a shelving unit for a van. It’s curved at the back, which is what i’m trying to add on the side.
When i add the dxf file in shape editor, i get the following error message. Is there another way to add this angle from a dxf?angle-of-shelving.jpgImage Enlarger
