There are multiple options under the Shelf & Pole parts pulldown menu. This page will discuss how to add Fixed, Adjustable, Glass and Pull-Out shelves individually and as a multi-shelf group.

Corner shelves are a great addition to many closets, pantries, offices and anywhere else that needs to make the most of the space. They are built by creating an “L” shape using two fixed shelves that butt together in the corner.  The entire unit shares three partitions: One on each of the sides, and one that is shared on the corner. The shelves are typically attached to each other using locking cams (VB’s).

 

In the elevation view, add a floor mounted component so that its side partition touches the wall where the two Design Zones overlap. This is your dominant corner component.

 

Add fixed shelves into the component, like in the image to the left. This feature will not work unless you have fixed shelves. You can add a multi-shelf group or add them individually, it will work either way.

 

Using the green arrow, navigate to the Design Zone on the side wall. Add another component against the existing component in the adjacent Design Zone (the one on the next wall over). It will revert to a bridging component, as previously discussed. You can also use a bridging component that already exists. This will be your non-dominant corner component.

 

Once added, right click on the bridging (non-dominant) component with the right mouse button and select ‘Join Corner’ (see left). This will automatically replicate the fixed shelf orientation on the original (dominant) to match both sides up. This will create a corner component with connected shelves that matches original component that you created, and will be visible in the adjacent view, as soon to the right.

 

If you move the individual shelves on the non-dominant component or use the + and – to add or deduct the number of shelves in a multi-shelf group, you will notice that the same change will automatically be done to the dominant side as well. They are now synced up.

 

However, because this corner unit is still made up of two separate components, you can adjust the widths or depths of the dominant (right) or non-component (left) sides as you would with standard components.        

                                                      

A wall mounted unit may not automatically join the fixed shelves when prompted to join the corner. If this is what is experienced, simply grab and drag the “bottom” of the bridging component down to meet the bottom of the dominant component’s partition, as shown on the left. Then right click and select ‘Join Corner’. If the partitions on the non-dominant and dominant components are the same length, you should not have any issues.

 

The image on the left show what a corner shelf would look like in the plan view. Below shows what a finished corner unit will look like in 3D.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note that there are minimum and maximums for corner shelving units. This will be considered on both the dominant and non-dominant side.

 

For instance, if your location’s maximum is 30” x 30”, the dominant component can be 30” wide, but the non-dominant must be less than 30” when adding the width + the depth of the dominant wall component.

 

In this example, that means that if both sides are 14” deep, the non-dominant can be a maximum of 16” wide (16+14=30”). See the image on the right for a visual representation.
