In order to successfully design a component that has any kind of pull-out behind a door, it need to have an offset piece(s) for the runners/glides to clear the door hinges. A TFL cleat is the primary type of offset piece.
 

Start by adding the desired pull-out parts to the component, such as baskets, pull out shelves, or hampers. Drawers will be discussed a little bit later, as they behave differently. Next, add an Ext. Door <LINK> to the component. It should automatically cover all the pull-out parts unless they have fronts themselves (drawers must be faceless) <LINK>. Pull outs can also be placed after the door is in place.

Once the door is placed, you there will get be offset warnings on all the pull-outs. Depending on the hinge direction of the door, you will see “Required The warning will say “Required offset on left/right/both sides” (see left). This will coordinate with the side of the door that has the hinges. sides” depending on the hinge direction.

To add cleats to your the runners, right click on the pull-out and select ‘Properties [Part]’. You will see There is a heading for ‘Offsets’ (below). You . The user can choose the side(s) for the offset hardware, the height, and the finish.

When you add adding a cleat to the glide(s), the width of your the component will automatically change to compensate. For example, the component on the previous page was originally 24” wide. When we added cleats on either side to offset for the double doors, it changed the component width to 25.5” (right).

You can visibly see the cleats in the elevation view (red arrows below), and in the 3D view. I changed the material to contrast, so you can easily see the in the 3D image below.

The cleats are visible in the elevation and 3D views.

Due to the component widths automatically adjusting, it may require you users to move components around if you have multiple components or are there are other components around it or if the design is wall-to-wall, as it can move push components outside of the Design Zone. You Components can also autofit components that do not need be autofitting<LINK>if they are not required to be a standard sizewidth.

If you resize resizing a component with cleats, you users will get a width not supported warning (right). if the parts require a standard width; This will prompt you them to change the component back to an appropriate width.

You can use the ‘Use the Apply Properties To..’ at the bottom of the part properties to add cleats to additional parts, but note that this will only apply to like parts.

CLEAT THICKNESS

A narrower cleat (3/4” material) is the standard go-to for most items, as it is enough to clear a door with a standard hinge. If you have a the pull out that sits directly behind a hinge, a thicker cleat (1-1/8” or 1-3/16”) is required to clear the hinge itself. However, a cleat cannot sit directly behind the hinge. It is also required to have a thicker cleat for drawers behind doors (see next page).

You cannot, however, have a cleat that sits directly behind the hinge.

Note: You GIF OR IMG

 You can change the The thickness of the cleat can be changed in the ‘Properties [Part]’ of the pull-out , and select the ‘Finish’ by selecting the Finish under the ‘Offsets’ heading (left) Offsets heading.

Drawers Behind Doors

If you want to add pull-out drawers behind doors, you must add drawers prior to the doors – It will not work if the doors are added first. The drawers also must befaceless for them to sit behind doors.

...

For example, a 5-part front will allow you to individually edit the inserts for each door (if double door) and individually both above and below the support mullion (see right). If you have a slab door, you could select different styles per door – Even if you have a double door selected. It gives you far more specific options for editing to totally customize for your client.
