Drawer separators and opening layouts
Keep drawer envelopes, fronts, and separator geometry aligned in frameless cabinets.
Choose how each drawer level is supported
For drawer-capable frameless cabinets, enable drawer separators and choose the construction style. The cabinet bottom supports the lowest drawer; CabCAD adds a separator beneath each drawer level above it.
- Shallow stretcher is the default. With Standard butt + screws it creates a front rail with the existing butt-joint connector hints; the qualified rail recipe instead applies its one-face tongue, receiver, and exact metadata-only side-pilot location hints for JoinCAD.
- Full depth creates a horizontal panel flush with the cabinet front and extending to the front face of the back panel.
- Full-depth separators follow carcass butt-screw or dado-rabbet construction. Shallow stretchers follow the selected rail recipe and remain butt joined only under the Standard default.
If a divider looks misplaced
- Check the opening layout: Confirm drawer count, opening order, and unequal drawer heights first.
- Check the separator switch: The full-width switch controls whether separators exist; the segmented control chooses shallow or full depth.
- Reset the section: Use the local reset action if inherited or edited values no longer match the intended cabinet type.
