Corner shelves are a great addition to many closets, pantries, offices and

many other spaces. They are built by creating an “L” shape using two fixed shelves

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 to-the-floor component and position it with the partition touching the wall where the two design zones overlap. This becomes the the dominant corner or dominant component. Next, add fixed shelves the component - They can be added as a multi-shelf group or individually. Alternatively, use a template that matches the criteria mentioned.

If there is not a bridging component, add one manually. |
Right click on the bridging (non-dominant) component and select Join Corner. This will automatically replicate the fixed shelf orientation on the original (dominant) component to match. This creates a corner component with connected shelves that will be visible in the adjacent view.

If the user moves the individual shelves in the bridging component, or uses the + and – to adjust the number of shelves if using a multi-shelf group, the same changes will automatically apply to the dominant component. They are now synced up.

The corner shelf unit is still made up of two separate components, so users can adjust the widths or depths of the dominant or non-component sides the same way as with standard components.
A wall mounted component does not automatically join the fixed shelves when prompted to Join Corner. To force a corner, simply grab and drag the “bottom” of the bridging component down to meet the bottom of the dominant component’s partition. Then right click and select Join Corner. If the partitions on the non-dominant and dominant components are the same length, the corner unit should be successful.

can be changed to match the dominant component using the Height field in Component Properties. |
There are minimum and maximums widths for corner shelving units based on the weight rating for the shelving. This is to be considered for both the dominant and non-dominant side.
For instance, if the maximum is 30” x 30” at the user’s location, 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”).

CORNER SHELF PROPERTIES
To edit either side of the corner shelf, right click and select Properties [Comp]. As all components have the same property options, the same options will apply to corner shelves, except that either side is controlled independently.
