Box in Box
A box in box design comprises of a “box” that is confined by fixed shelves, partitions, or vertical shelves on all four sides. It typically is made from a different material for contrast, and often offset back to create different depths.
To build your box in a box, start with an empty component, and add your fixed shelves and/or vertical dividers where desired.
Note: If you use a multi-shelf group for adding your fixed shelves, you must explode them before adding a box in a box.
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. |
