Hi Isaac,

I’ve got another project with double shaker doors using a 60/40 split (top-heavy bias), and I’m hitting a wall with the workflow. I’ve attached a project I’m working on for an example.

Also my workflow of sizing angled cabinets along a wall with multi-slope and single angled slopes can be clunky, i often have to shape and angle 1, then inch the angle closer. Then do the same for the next cabinet. Is there a faster way?

As for the shaker panels…a single panel is fine. I can set it parallel to the panel and generate the angled shape without issue. But as soon as I introduce a second panel, everything slows down and becomes very clunky.

The bigger problem is I don’t have a reliable way of generating these shapes externally in CAD, so I’m relying on Polyboard to handle the logic. In theory, this feels like something the software should be able to calculate and control parametrically, rather than me having to manually build bespoke shapes each time.

For reference, the maths is simple enough:

• Door height minus 3 rails (typically 80mm each = 240mm total)
• Door height Minus 240 = xyz Multiply that number x 0.6 and 0.4 to get the height of each shaker.
• Door width minus 160mm for stiles gives the panel widths

That part’s fine, but actually translating that into consistent, accurate shaker geometry across multiple doors gets messy very quickly. Especially when the shapes aren’t easily measurable or reusable.

Ideally, I’d want a way to define this once and have it scale cleanly across different sizes without rebuilding it every time.

Is there a better way to approach this within Polyboard so it stays fast, parametric, and consistent?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Tom
