Quick reminder: you can build all of these systems into your design preferences (Manufacturing Methods), including the exact positioning you want, and apply with the click of a button to every new project.

Resize or edit your model and the hardware will dynamically update too!

Full hardware details are displayed on the workshop plans of each part, in the cost report, and embedded within the CNC output to run your machine. Click on the images below to enlarge and view the hardware machining:

More visuals for your 3D presentations

As we mentioned above, all hardware has an associated machining operation which is included in the manufacturing output. But it’s also possible to link a 3D render to each hardware item, for inclusion in the 3D model view.

Here’s a sample cabinet showing a range of different Hettich AvanTech YOU drawers, you can see the newly added 3D of the drawer sliders here (click to enlarge):

As well as a range of 3D drawer sliders, we’ve created lots of new 3D objects to use in Project mode to enhance your presentation. We’ve added new taps, lighting, sinks, coat hangers and lots more.

You’ll see examples of these in the models below.

New models

The Quick Design libraries download includes a models folder. This is stocked with a huge range of cabinet and other furniture projects which you can open directly within the software to see how they were set up.

We’ve added some great new models and extra texture files too.

Updated Quick Design libraries manual

Our Help Centre is the main resource for PolyBoard tutorials and guidance.

But did you know that we’ve created a Quick Design libraries manual as well? It provides extra detail on the set up, functioning and naming conventions used.

A new and updated version of this manual has now been added to the libraries download.
