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 and creates a front rail with butt-joint connector hints.
- 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 remain butt joined.
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.
