Cabinet design software – detailed corners with contours
Cabinet design software – mitered corners and contours
A user emailed me about a problem using our cabinet design software in his project. It’s a great example of clear communication – to the point with a screen shot to show the issue. I sent back a solution and will now make a video to discuss it.
Two boards meet in the corner and both boards have a rounded over contour on top and a miter on the ends. He ran into a limitation in SketchList 3D where cutting a hole can’t overlap other holes. This applies to joinery and contours as well.
You see the gap in the top of the corner. I ‘cut’ a corner piece with a round over contour going both ways and stuck it in the gap.
Watch the video. It contains some cool tips and tricks. Near the end of the videos I make good use of blue dots to connect things.
Thank you for your time. If you have any questions or comments level them below.

My woodworking love started in 6th grade in school shop class. I have a BS in Industrial Technology and an MBA. At my first job, I computerized a production accounting system – the results were positive, and I loved the challenges. I left the corporate world to begin woodworking full time and one of my first decisions was to use CAD for my designs. I found that CAD did not meet all my needs. I wrote a specification of what I wanted and turned it into a prototype. SketchList 3D incorporated in 2007. We completed programming and launched. Today thousands of woodworkers use SketchList 3D.
