Drawers are available in 4 multiple front heights and 5 styles (right) and several different various face styles and finishes. You will want to try and stick to our standard widths when adding drawers, as it will be best for accommodating our inserts, and aids in easier changes or adjustments in the future.

Select ‘Drawer’ from the options and bring over your Pull-Outs drop down. Move the cursor over an empty section of a component.

Scrolling the mouse will change the drawer’s size. Decide where you’d like to insert your first drawer and left Before placing, scroll the mouse wheel (or use the up/down arrow keys on the keyboard) to change the drawer assembly size.

Left click to insert it into the component. The tool will remain on, and stack the next drawer as the user clicks, the drawers will continue to stack on top of the last one. If you stack stacking drawers too high, you the user will get receive a warning (right).

You can continue to add as many drawers as you’d like until you Right click to turn the tool off by right clicking the mouse button or dragging the mouse below the bottom of the elevation view.

Once in place, the size of the drawers drawer assembly can also be changed using the + and – buttons that appear when you hover hovering over them.

 Drawers above will automatically shift to accommodate.

Drawings move and delete like other parts.

DRAWER PROPERTIES

The drawer ‘Properties [Parts]’ is where you the user can make several adjustments to one or more of your drawers. There are a series of pull downs which will allow you changes to select and change different aspects of that drawer:

The ‘Front’ menu contains drop down selections that allow you to change the type, style, finish, and face size. The style and finish will be based on the Type that you select, and are broken down by profile type (slap, 1-pc, 5-pc, etc.). You can also adjust the Overlays, which will let you select how much of the partitions is covered by the face (overlays are discussed in more detail at the end of this chapter).

...

Note: Use the ‘Apply Properties’ at the bottom to apply those changes. You can choose to apply them to just the one drawer (just hit ‘OK’), the whole component, the whole wall, the whole room, or just select drawers. If you chose ‘Select’, you can then left click on the different drawers you want to apply the properties too. Remember, anything that you want to apply must have a checkmark in the box to the left.

Pantry Can Drawers

Can drawers are a popular addition to pantries, and are essentially just regular drawers that are open on top (versus having a shelf on top, which is a default standard) to allow for taller items inside. To create a can drawer, you want your component and parts to eventually look something like the image to the right.

First, add your drawer(s). In this case, we added three large drawers and a medium drawer. A gap/space is left above the drawer to allow for the height of cans or other items. A 3” is a typical height for this spacer, but this can vary depending on your client’s needs. I repeated this step with each new drawer.

The next step is to remove the default fixed shelf between the drawer and the spacer above it.  Open the part properties for the drawer and select ‘Off’ for ‘Shelf Above’ under the ‘Misc’ heading to ignore shelf above. Note that manually selecting and deleting a shelf may result in it popping back in when you make additional changes to the parts or that component.

Hit ‘Apply properties to.. Select’ to select any other drawers that also need a shelf removed. This will eliminate the need from removing them all one by one. Once complete, your drawer should look like the picture on the right.

Note: If you just delete the shelves above the drawers, they may appear back on as you make changes to your comp. Using the above method will ensure they stay turned off.

Faceless or scooped drawer fronts are also a popular choice for pantries. You will find the option for ‘Faceless’ fronts in the Front > Type options in the drawer part properties.

This will leave you with a drawer that is only the box, so the options in the drawer properties will drastically minimize (as seen on the right).

If you would like a faceless and scooped front, simply check the box next to ‘Scoop’. In the images to the left, you can see the difference between faceless scooped (top two), and just faceless (bottom two), in both the 3D and elevation views.

Mini Drawers

Mini drawers are popular additions to offices, vanities, or anywhere else you need smaller storage solutions. They are created by placing drawers between uprights in a component. The minimum width for mini drawers is in an 8” wide section – Typically, a 24” wide section will have two mini drawers, and a 30” wide can have two or three.

Begin by adding any parts that will sit below your mini drawers, such as other full-sized drawers, as seen in the image to the left.

Consider the height of your mini-drawers. Most of them will be small or medium-height fronts. Add a single fixed shelf with enough room to fit the drawer, plus some extra. Next, add your upright to create a half or thirds-split in your component (right, top).

Note: If the space is too tight, you will get a “height not allowed” warning when adding your drawers (right, bottom).

Add your drawer using the drawer tool, scrolling to resize as needed. The custom width will appear on the front of the drawer. Finally, using the – (minus) button on the fixed shelf above the mini drawers, lower the shelf until it sits right on top of the drawers (see left).

Repeat the previous steps to add as many stacks of mini drawers as desired.

The Part Properties of a multi-shelf group looks differently than that of a single shelf. It will have the title “Spacer”.
