Hi Isaac,

Thanks for your email, I really appreciate the time you put into it. Chris and I went through everything and had a really useful discussion.

There’s a couples points I’m not quite following yet. After adding the runner rules as shown in your example, the tooling didn’t appear on the drawer face, and I couldn’t see where the drillings were applied. I may simply be looking in the wrong place, but I haven’t been able to locate them. 

Also, setting drawer heights I’m not able to dial in as expected, this could be a sub method thing.

Chris also mentioned that he’d like us to standardise some rules for the internal drawers using Matrix S runners. The thinking is something along the lines of:

Side height + 40 mm = minimum internal clearance above the drawer box

We also discussed introducing a maximum limit. Our thinking is that the space above the drawer box should not exceed half the height of the drawer box itself. When I tested this, I think my boxful method may have conflicted with the side height settings, depending on whether the drawer back was set to underpass or overpass.

I was wondering if this could be set up parametrically?

These rules would only apply to internal wardrobe drawers, while everything else would continue using our standard drawer method. At the moment I’m just not fully clear on when these rules should trigger, when the methods should change, or whether this could all be handled parametrically.

Finally, we firstly need to create a singular drawer 167mm side heights, and its a 450mm deep drawer runner to test the system inset. If everything works out we can then we can go through everything if you wouldn’t mind. 

Cheers,
Tom
