Hey Isaac,
I was working with trying to add these drawer slides with that video and I am very confused about it.
I was trying to find similar instructions based on the video and I couldn’t figure out the hole spacing etc. I see a bunch of drawer sub-methods already in place for blum/Tandem and other stuff done. I believe I am currently using the Legrabox on all of my drawers and it seems to have the slacks as the rest.
Are these okay to use and already setup?
If so what are the sizes of the drawer assembly that need to be setup to make that work?
Also If I were to use the blum system undermount slides. Can they share the same Upright if I had 2 drawers. For example on my Base Right Dishwasher I have 2 drawers with an upright between the 2. Obviously if I install them the exact same way the screws will hit. If I used different screw holes would you think there would be an issue? The drawers are short and don’t hold a lot of heavy items. Maybe 10lbs.

Hi Erik,
1. I would recommend adding our plinths in the Project Mode, rather than the Cabinet Mode, I believe that you will have more success this way. See an explanation on that here: Project Mode
2. There are some US based hardware brands in the libraries already, you will find even more on our webpage. You can see how to add them here:
How to add elements to your libraries
3. If you adjust your materials and bars in the project mode, it will allow you to do all of your cabinets at a single time.
4. The cabinet is relatively wide although if you are using side mounted runners, and the panels are all fixed together, I would think that you’ll get away with it if using a decent plywood.
5. That is fine. When you ask for the files, request a copy of the documentation in both metric and imperial. I will provide you with two copies.
Best regards, Isaac

Thank you for your reply
1) For the most part the plinths on the back (for the island) and the sides for most of the cabinets are not flush with the edge. I can’t seem to get them to be flush on the side. I want to make sure the length in the front and the back are correct
2) I will attempt to try and add the slides with that video later. Is the hardware pack for US slides already imported in? I think I did, but I didn’t see it as a manufacturer on my list
3) I will try that too. Would I do that on the Project side or the cab side?
4) I am going to use 5×30 dominos to attach them. I don’t have them included, but I was thinking of trying to get those added, but I had trouble having a domino size to get added. I didn’t fully understand, and then I had issues getting it to mark correctly. I don’t think I want to use screws except for the back side because most of the cabinets will be visible from a side of some sort. Do you think that the island might need more support for the drawer with the rail i put in?
5) Another question I have is I want to work with MM with most of my project because I can get closer to solid numbers vs 32ths. I am looking to try and outsource the doors to another vendor to save time and effort. They only deal with inches down to 1/16th. Is there a way when I am complete to get both mm and inches printed out so I can get both done? I know there is a slight difference, but I am having trouble with doing it both ways. Several of my tool measurements are in metric.

Hello Erik,
1. With your plinths, what exactly are you trying to do sorry? How are you wanting these to be different?
2. Regarding adding drawer hardware, see the following video:
https://vimeo.com/wooddesigner…..bf651c7f91
3. To adjust all of your door assemblies at a single time, you can use the modify styles tool. Firstly select the modify styles tool (See the following image,)>Select Bars>Right click on your material that you wish to change.
4. Regarding the fittings on these cabinets, are you planning on using the dowels and screws, or will you manufacture these differently?
Best regards, Isaac

Hello
I am needing some help with some hardware and oddity of things that I am not sure how to do correctly
I have attached a copy of my projects. There are a couple of cabinets that are duplicated because I am trying to see which makes more sense or if there are issues.
1) I can’t seem to get my Plinths to work correctly there is an adjustment issue on the sides where it won’t be directly under.
2) I am not sure how to add drawer hardware to the project. Everything will get side mount slides except for the cooktop and Kids Bath
3) Is there an easy way to adjust the size of the door assemblies if I wanted to change all of them to a different type of wood?
4) Can you please review these cabinets to make sure there are no other errors? I am close to having this submitted for output.
