I would like to know if there is a way to create a cabinet box as a dynamic component so that I can change the sizes of the original one without changing the thickness of the material.
for example: the box will be 24" wide by 30" high by 20" deep. All the material will be 3/4" thick plywood.
I would like to change it to: 39" wide by 50" high by 24" deep and all the material will stay as 3/4" thick plywood.
If I have a row of 5 cabinets, how can I increase or decrease the sizes of all of them at the same time without re-drawing each one of them?
Where or how can I create a library of all my cabinets/ dynamic components so I can import them to new drawings?
If someone can contact me by phone that would be the best way to communicate for me
Make the case of separate components for each part, sides, back, bottom, face frame parts. Set up the resizing such that changing the width moves one case side and a face frame stile and scales the length of the bottom, back, and face frame rails.
For changing the height of the case, scale the LenZ for the sides, back, and face frame stiles but just change PosZ for the top face frame rail.
It would be possible to build a dynamic component that can adjust the height of all five cabinets but I think it would be faster and more flexible to just change the height of them one at a time.
Save them to your computer as a local collection.
This is a dynamic drawer box I made that illustrates essentially what Iām describing.
Look at the attributes for SideR. LenX (the thickness of the side) is fixed at 1/2 in. but LenY (the length of the drawer side) and LenZ (the height of the drawer side are adjustable based on the cabinet depth and opening height. The X position varies depending on the opening width.
