Glass Door and Machining V11

Glass Door and Machining

Individual Doors - Cabinet Details (Graphical Only, No Machining)

Each cabinet has a Make Glass Door checkbox on the General Settings page of the Cabinet Details category as shown here:

If a door can be made into a glass door, then checking the Make Glass Door option will remove its centre panel and replace it with a rectangular glass design.

Glass Option Limitations

The Make Glass Door option is available for most door styles. It cannot be applied to a door that has a Farmers or DoorMaster LT style selected on the Door Style page of the Materials Manager.

Machining Glass Doors

The dimensions of the rebate are controlled in the Catalog/Drawing Properties on the page Mach. General -> Cutout-Doors.

Therefore, to machine glass door frames for your job, it is important to first check your glass door settings are correct. To do this:

1. Open Drawing Properties (on your keyboard [F4] or press the Drawing Properties button on the Home toolbar).
   
2. Select the page Mach. General → Cutout-Doors.
   
3. Enter values as applicable (see image below).
   

The diagram explains how the variables apply to the glass door frame and shows two steps: beading and rebate.

The beading variable does not need a value if only one step is required. You would set the beading for both Width and Depth to 0mm.

Machining - Individual Cabinet

Now the machining for your glass door needs to be turned on within the Cabinet Properties for each cabinet.

 

On the page Cabinet Machining " Misc Cutouts, turn on ‘Cutout for Glass in all Doors’ (see image below)

NOTE: This will not show on the cabinet preview unless you are in Wireframe view with the "View Machining in 3D" option turned on.
