lol same here, took me a while and a few rude words but eventually I realised that most panels can be done the same way, got it finally from ness’s video on the scribes.

Thanks yes that has worked!Had to play around with the positioning but yes that seems to have helped. I didnt realise you could then change the with of this single panel lol

When you do the counter top, add it to a single unit then just click and pull the corners one at a time to make it cover all 3 units.

And make sure that in the construction of the back panel unit the back is overpassing all round.
As far as these things go im just doing things the way I can at the moment, once I make a bit like this im saving in the library with best discription possible so its less work next time I do a unit, hopefully just change the sizes.

Thanks JimThats a great idea on the side end deco panels. Id previously done them in a much more complicated way so that helps alot.
Im going to try and work out how to then extend the counter so it overpasses these end panels so good tip. Im just concerned that I’m making life hard for myself here and if I could just do it all in a different way………as the back panel will then only be a back panel on the middle carcase…i.e the one that I’ve deleted! if you understand me.

Make the back panel unit width the total of the whole desk width, that will make the back panel the same size as the whole thing, not just the size of the space for your legs.
eg space for legs is 600, total of whole desk 1800. make the cabinet where you delete all panels except the back 1800 wide. That gives you a back for the whole thing

Terry,
I’m no where near Ness in ability but heres how i did the end panels to the kitchen im doing.
Make a new cabinet, where it says panels in the box on the right just put no in all the boxes except the side you want the end panel on.
So left hand end panel =
top-no
bottom-no
back-no
rhs – no
Save that unit as left hand end panel. Add it to your project next to the unit.

Same deal for the back panel, just keep the back, put no in the rest.
once you have done that, you can add to the project.

Then add counter. you can alter the size and shape when you add it.
Hope this helps.
