A base cabinet is created by adding parts to a floor-based component, typically one that is 24” deep. They can be placed in part of a closets, offices, media centers, or any other design/space that requires requiring a lower component with a countertop.
There are various part configurations used to design a base cabinet, and these configurations will determine the overall height of the top shelf or countertop. The height should be considered based on the use of the cabinet.IMG

Start by adding If going deeper, it is easiest to change the depth of the component first. Then add parts, such as drawers, starting at the bottom and moving upwards. Then, adjust Adjust the height of the top shelf <LINK> by grabbing it with your mouse the cursor and pulling it down to the desired height (left), or to sit directly on top of the component parts or to a desired height.

The dimension that is shown on the right is called the Spot Height. It will appear at appears over the top of a fixed shelf and shows provides the distance from the floor to the top of that shelf or the component. Remember, these components do not yet have a countertop, which will increase the height even more.
If adding the component has doors or a multi-shelf group, notice that they have a the blue Auto at the top. This means they these parts are considered Auto Height parts , and they will automatically shrink or /expand in height as the top shelf height is changed.

There can only be one Auto Height part per component. If adding a part at full height, click and drag the top shelf down to the desired base cabinet height and the part will shrink or expand according to the top shelf height.
However, if starting with a part that is not full height, users should turn the feature off to avoid the part from changing size. Otherwise the Auto Height part will react to the change in component height instead of the empty space, which is likely where users want to “take” the change in height from.GIF

To turn Auto Height off, go into the Properties [Part] under the Misc heading, and turn off the Auto Height option. With this feature turned off, it will lock the height of that part.

REMINDER OF COMPONENT DEPTH:
If working with components with doors or pull outs, it may automatically double par when changing the component depth <LINK>. If only changing the depth of one component and not the others, for example with a 24” deep drawer bank with 14” components on either side, the double par is required and should remain.

The easiest way to approach this scenario is to plan before changing depths. If users uncheck the Auto Partitions box in the ribbon toolbar, it will stop components from double parring.

Users may get a warning that states “Invalid Partition Depths” but this will disappear once the depth change is applied to the wall. This method will save a lot of time and energy.
