Hi Ness
Just to clarify what I’m doing to get to where I am:
Make carcass, put an overlapping double back on front, apply library structure for our face frame adding a center stile to give me 2 panels that I can then change into our doors. This give me 2 doors but when I go back in and make the center stile Nil it morph into 1 door. HELP.
Just after face frame and two doors as in attached
Thanks

Hi Nigel,
I’m still not clear what you are trying to achieve.
Can you post a simple line drawing of what you are trying to do?
Thanks,

Hi Nigel,
I’m thinking the you can just add an intermediate cross bar, but maybe I don’t understand what you are trying to do.
Can you post a drawing, a drawing is worth a 1000 words…
Thanks,

Hi Ness
Got another one for you! how do I draw a double door larder unit with a face frame. If I use the double back method it only allows me to have the one door. I would like two doors with a rebated between the doors.
Thanks

Hi Nigel,
Sorry to get back so late, I’ve been away doing on site training for the last week so haven’t had a lot of time.
It’s possible to create frames of any complexity using the same method as the first frame and door assembly.
ie: just make a framed structure of the inner panels.
In the example you require, make the first frame with the intermediate upright and instead of making a framed door of the first level framed panel make a structure that only has one rail :
Once applied you should have this framed structure :
Now create the doors and eventually drawer fronts by creating a framed structure to the inner panels :
It’s then easy to change the dimensions of the unit or add intermediary uprights to the first level frame and Polyboard will update all the data accordingly :
Of course this will not allow you to create the inside of the drawers.
In this case, for manufacturing, it might be easier to create the drawer boxes separately.
Hope this is helpful,
Best regards,
Ness
Hi Ness
Hope things are OK, just following up on the last post of mine.
Thanks

Hi Ness
Thanks for letting me know not ideal but good developers are on it.
My next one is, with a large draw line base with face frame, I can get the center mullion not a problem but how do I get the
rails for the draw boxes?
Do you have a release date yet for 7?
Thanks

Hi Nigel,
To get the styles to sit on the floor make the double back overlap the bottom.
Then edit the structure and make the bottom rail a nil panel.
Then add an intermediary rail and set it up from the bottom:
This will give you this:
Unfortunately using this method, I can’t think of a way of getting just extending left or right styles.
We should be able to get around this in the next version of Polyboard 7 as it will be possible to create exterior side, top and bottom volumes.
This will also take away the problem of different panel and front frame thicknesses that you invoked.
The developers are working hard to get the first versions of Polyboard 7 ready for release so it shouldn’t be long to go now.
I hope this is helpful.
Best regards,
Ness
Hi Ness
I have another one I need you help on. Our face frames are 22mm thick and our doors are 28mm thick. This is throwing up a problem with the depth of the units they are out by the 6mm difference in the frames and doors. If I have the panel to the front I have a 6mm gap between the frame and carcass and if I have it to the back the door is proud by the 6mm, this is ok but its still giving me the wrong depth over all
Thanks
