I have not figured out how to make an upper cabinet that is l shaped with lazy susan type doors. What might I be missing?
Thanks

Actually, There is no way to do this directly, since we don’t support a Lazy Susan upper. However, if you follow all the CabWriter naming rules, you can modify a diagonal corner upper to make an L shaped upper.

Hi Terrell,

After kicking it over with Joe some more, we think we have an idea that may work. Draw it as a lower on the floor; just get the dimensions right, set the bottom inset and don’t draw the toe kick. Draw it somewhere out of the way in your drawing, and then just leave it there for the duration. Alternatively, you can move it with native move tools to where you want it in the model, but don’t bother changing names or anything else. We think that should work. Just remember if you move it and redraw the cabinet, it’ll go back to its original position. Also, it’ll show up on the base cabinet layers and be called a base cabinet in the cutlist and documentation, but that shouldn’t be a big deal.

Let us know how it works out…

Thanks,
Greg
