Hi Joss,
To add the tool radius, use the sub-method Groove and OverSeize
For the links use double-back Nil then create zones and then use zone reference which would then give all the modularity
I change all cabinet link to Zone reference
and in this exemple move nil double-back for change Shelve Widht
All the best, Alex

Hi Joss, Ness is away this week. He’ll take a look at it too as soon as possible, and see if he can offer any further solutions. Thanks
EDIT: looking back through our records, I see you had a detailed discussion about a range of technical issues with Ness, and what was coming in version 7 of Polyboard. In light of this, it’s definitely best he replies on his return next week.
Thanks for your patience in advance…
The shelves obviously wouldn’t fit into the groove though as there needs to be the radius of the cutter. Hand cutting it out isn’t an option as it opens up so many places for error, making an error of 0.5mm here would look awful.
Is this something that is going to be changed? It seems like a fatal flaw in the program. It is to do joints like this is the only reason we purchased the programme. I even showed Ness some samples of units we have designed in different cab programs.
We need this option adding to Version 7 please.

Hi,
Sorry I forgot to attach files…
We have actually no other Solution
cheers, Alexandre
We are using a nesting 3 axis CNC machine and using V-Carve to write the G-Code.
In the example you show the shelf doesn’t got into a groove. We want this for the strength and accuracy during assembly. We don’t want the groove to be shown on the front of the unit.

Hi,
Exactly or tenon without “Shoulder” and you can activate “Apply rule to Surface split”
May be you can do it as shown in the attached example
What type a CNC are you using?
Cheers, Alexandre
Does that mean we cant use the underpassing option because we are using the mortise and tennon link type?
How can we get it to work??
We often use Mortise and Tennon joints as a work around because we don’t want the grove to be seen at the front of the unit in most cases but want the strength of a groove.
In this example we can obviously set all of the front screws back 20mm but what the one of the fixed shelves was only 100mm deep on a 600mm deep unit? We want to getit to be flexiable so one rule works on any depth of fixed shelf.
Cheers for you help
Joss

Hi,
The tenons and mortise clash with the fixation links in the example you had attached
If you had installed our Quick Design library by default in the Polyboard folder on your desktop, in the guide folder you will find the file “Polyboard Quick Design Library Manual”
Further information can be found from page 26
It should be understood that parts are identified by convention, Overpassing OR underpassing from other parts
in this example Side overpassing Top and underpassing Bottom, and Shelf underpassing Side
These marks are used for fixation link
when you create link between Shelf and Side , and using rules
n=underpassing or no priority panel
p=overpassing panel Or priority panel
z=zone (internal)
Hope my english not so bad and that help you
Cheers, Alexandre
