CC Cubby

Cubbies are a modular interlocking divider system that can be customized to suit whatever your the customer is storing.

 

The sections, or openings, are created by a series of rows (horizontal) and columns (vertical) created with our 3/4” or thicker TFL board material, like ; Basically a combination of small shelves and vertical shelves.

 

These rows and columns can be created from any of our ¾” or thicker board material.

 

...


There must be enough open space within a component to create a cubby system. Add the cubby by going up to the ‘Parts’ Parts section of the ribbon toolbar, click on the ‘Other’ Specialty Storage drop down, and select ‘CC Cubby’ (left) CC Cubby.  

...


Once the feature part is activatedselected, move your curser the cursor over your component.

 

The cubby will automatically fill the available height, so you will need to place fixed shelves before your cubby system a component and the cubby automatically fills the available height. Fixed shelves can be placed prior to adding cubbies to control the height. Left click to place (above, right).

Info
Note:

The shelves above and below a cubby system must be fixed. The

SPG

Standard Product Guide has a

Calculator

calculator that

you

can

use

be used to help put the fixed shelves to the right height for the application

you are designing for.Note:

or storage needs.


Note how the elevation view will show the interior dimensions of the cubbies.

...


Cubbies move and delete like other parts. When moving a cubby from one area to the next, it will automatically adjust the height but will still be confined by fixed shelves. Keep in mind that a height warning will appear if the space is too tall.

...

Info

Since cubbies can have a wide range of uses,

...

users must consider the weight of the cubby and the items it will hold in relation to the type of component. For example, if

...

using cubbies for heavy items like wine bottles, it is strongly recommended to

...

use a to-the-floor system.

...

 

To adjust your cubby system, right click to go into the ‘Properties [Part]’ menu.

 

This is where you can adjust the number of rows and columns, change the front or back offset, and select the finish (left).

You can also view the individual cubby width and height. Note that the elevation view will give you dimensions for your cubbies as well (below).

If it is lighter items


Once the cubby system is in place, users can adjust the width or height of the component, and the cubby openings will adjust automatically based on the changes. If warnings appear, the cubbies can be adjusted in Properties(see information below).

...





The internal cubby shelves are supported by adjustable pins which are meant to help support the weight of the cubby material.

These are drilled at custom heights since the shelves are spaced evenly, so the inside of the cubby area will always be Custom Fixed Drilling.

There are different configurations determined by the width of the component, the overall height of the cubby, and the use of the cubby. However, the cubby configuration will be limited based on the shelf width or space available.

 


The height and width of the cubby openings will automatically adjust as you change when changing the number or rows and/or columns. Rows are spaced based on overall opening height, and columns based off overall opening width (max is 36” wide). Note that it is nearly impossible to achieve a perfect square, yet it will space as evenly as possible. See the SPG for more information on suggested sizes and a calculator for cubbies).

...


The maximum height for a cubby system is conditional based on the width: 16” for a 36” wide system and up to 46.74” for an 18” wide system. The minimum cubby opening height and width is 4.125”.

 

CAD has these sizes built in and will show a warning when the height exceeds the maximum allowed. See the SPG for all specs.

Cubby Properties

To adjust the cubby system, right click to go into the Properties [Part] menu. This is where users can  change the Front or Back Offset and select the Finish. The depth of the cubby system will be is determined by the depth of the component that contains it. By default, the cubby will sit ~0.4” back from the front (right). You can customize the front offset in the cubby properties.

 

 

Note: Once the cubby system is in place, you can adjust the width or height of the component, and the cubby openings will adjust automatically based on the changes.

 

 

The internal cubby shelves are supported by adjustable pins which are meant to help support the weight of the Cubby material. These are drilled at custom heights since the shelves are spaced evenly, so the inside of the cubby area will always be Custom Fixed Drilling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then go into the ‘Other’ pulldown in the parts section of the Elevation ribbon toolbar and select ‘Box in Box’. Bring the tool over to your component and drop the interior box between your fixed shelves and verticals (right). The box will automatically adjust to the correct width and height of the space.

 

Note: You will get a warning if the height is too tall to be supported, and you must adjust your shelf spacing.

Just as you can with other parts, you can double click on your interior box to move it within your component, or between different components. You can right click to move or delete your interior box.

 

Right click on the box to access the ‘Properties [Part]’. You will find the following adjustments here:

 

Depth: The box will default to sit back from the front of the pars and shelves. You can adjust if you would like to make it deeper, or even to extend forward if desired (add a negative number). You can also adjust the back offset if you need it to sit forward off the wall, in case you have backing, or it would be interfering with the suspension rail and brackets.

 

Backing Panel: Check the box to the right of backing panel to add system backing to the box-in-box. TFL board selections can be added as System Backing (see chapter 8). Decorative Applied Panels can also be added to the box using the Panel Tool (discussed later in this chapter).

 

Material: Select the main finish of the box.

 

Drilling: You can change the drilling pattern on the uprights of the box. The default is Custom Line Bore. There is more information on drilling patterns in Chapter 9.

 

You can add additional parts such as shelves, uprights, doors and lighting to your box if desired. Below shows the elevation and 3D views of a design with a variety of finishes, depths, panels, and parts.

 

 

 

...

These elevation and 3D views show a variety of different box-in-box designs including shelves, vertical shelves, panels, backing and doors.

 

Information on these parts can be found throughout this manual.
