Ground Cabinet (GC)

A floor cabinet with an open top: bottom panel, two sides, a front countertop-support strip and a rear back rail instead of a top panel. Doors, shelves, fiber back, optional Gola handle profile and legs.

Cabinet Type has three subtypes. Standard is the normal doors-and-shelves cabinet. Sink is a preset for sink bases: it applies the Sink Frame role default from the Stock Catalog to the Frame stock (a blank Sink Frame leaves the Frame stock unchanged), turns the fiber back panel off and removes shelves to leave room for the sink bowl (the frame geometry itself is unchanged). A hint under the Frame row says which happened, and the Frame stock can still be changed for that one cabinet. Drawers replaces doors and shelves with a stack of drawer boxes behind drawer fronts; the Drawers section then appears, along with an optional Enclosed frame checkbox (builds the drawer cabinet as a closed box with a full top panel) and optional custom per-door heights in the Doors section.

Dimensions

Width - number, mm, default 600, min 150. Outer cabinet width.

Height - number, mm, default 760, min 100. Outer cabinet height. Excludes the countertop.

Depth - number, mm, default 560, min 100. Outer cabinet depth, front to back.

Panel Thickness - number, mm, default 18, min 5, max 50. One thickness drives every carcass panel, shelf, divider and rail. Doors have their own Door Thickness.

Cabinet Options

Cabinet Type - choice, options "Standard" / "Sink" / "Drawers", default Standard. Standard is the base cabinet with doors and optional shelves. Sink is a sink-base preset - the Frame stock takes the Sink Frame role default from the Stock Catalog (blank means unchanged), no fiber back panel and no shelves (room for the sink bowl); the frame geometry is unchanged. Drawers builds a drawer stack cabinet (drawer boxes behind drawer fronts) and reveals the Drawers section.

Enclosed frame (no open top) - checkbox, default off. Builds a fully closed carcass instead of the open-top ground-style frame. Only offered for the Drawers subtype. Builds the drawer cabinet as a closed box (full top panel).

Support and Rails

Countertop Support Depth - number, mm, default 70. How far the front countertop-support strip extends inward (front to back). When Gola is enabled, the strip is pushed back by the Gola cut depth.

Back Rail Depth - number, mm, default 70. How far the top back rail extends downward from the cabinet top.

Back Spacing

Back Space plus Cutting Tool Space defines the back inset: the plane where the fiber back panel sits and where shelves stop at the back.

Back Space - number, mm, default 18. Depth reserved at the back for the fiber panel: the distance from the cabinet's back edge to the fiber back panel.

Cutting Tool Space - number, mm, default 4.1. Extra CNC tool clearance added around the fiber groove.

Shelves

Shelves are spaced evenly with equal clear heights. Shelf depth is the cabinet depth minus the shelf front inset and the back inset. At least 50 mm of clear height per shelf gap is enforced; too many shelves for the height is a validation error.

The Sink and Drawers subtypes remove shelves and hide this section.

Add shelves - checkbox, default on. Adds shelves; the count field appears while checked.

Number of Shelves - number, default 1, min 0, max 10. Number of shelves, spaced evenly. Shown while Add shelves is checked.

Shelf front inset - number, mm, default 10. Setback of the shelves from the carcass front edge.

Back Panel (Fiber)

The fiber back is a thin sheet seated in grooves: it is oversized by the groove depth on every captured edge and the surrounding panels get matching grooves. Its position comes from the Back Spacing section.

The Sink subtype turns the fiber back off and hides this section.

Add fiber back panel - checkbox, default on. Adds the thin fiber back panel. The fields below appear while checked.

Fiber Thickness - number, mm, default 4.1, min 1. Thickness of the fiber sheet, and the width of the grooves that hold it. Shown while Add fiber back panel is checked.

Fiber Extension (Groove) - number, mm, default 10, min 1. How far the fiber extends into the surrounding panels on each side. With grooves enabled they are cut to this same depth; without them the fiber simply stays oversized. Shown while Add fiber back panel is checked.

Fiber Top Inset - number, mm, default 20. Distance below the back rail top where the fiber panel ends, so the fiber stops under the rail on open-top cabinets. Shown while Add fiber back panel is checked.

Groove Top Offset - number, mm, default 2.1. Extra groove extension above the fiber top for CNC clearance - the side grooves run this much past the fiber. Shown while Add fiber back panel is checked.

Doors

Doors sit side by side. Door height is the cabinet height minus the top and bottom spacing; door width divides the cabinet width minus all left/right spacings by the door count. "Right" spacing is the viewer's right when facing the cabinet. When Gola is enabled, the Gola gap is added to the door top spacing.

Add doors - checkbox, default on. Adds the doors; the fields below appear while checked.

Number of Doors - number, default 2, min 1, max 6. Number of side-by-side doors. Shown while Add doors is checked.

Door Thickness - number, mm, default 18, min 5. Door panel thickness, independent of the carcass panel thickness. Shown while Add doors is checked.

Door Spacing (Uniform / Individual) - number, mm. Reveal around the doors. Uniform applies one value to all sides; Individual (the default mode) sets Top, Bottom, Left and Right separately - defaults 0 top and bottom, 1.5 left and right. Sides are the viewer's left/right facing the cabinet. Shown while Add doors is checked. Top spacing defaults to 5 to clear the countertop.

Hinge Stock - stock picker, default Catalog hinge default. Hinge hardware from the stock catalog, placed at each door's hinge side and priced per hinge. None places no hinges. Shown while doors are enabled. Hidden for the Drawers subtype (drawer fronts take no hinges).

Hinges per Door - number, default 2, min 0, max 6. Hinges placed per door. Shown while doors are enabled.

Custom door heights - checkbox, default off. Sets each stacked drawer front's height individually instead of equal division. Rows run top to bottom. A row left blank takes an equal share of whatever height the filled rows leave over. Each filled height must be at least 80 and the total must fit the cabinet height. Only for the Drawers subtype, while Add doors is checked.

Glass Panel Cutout

Cuts a rectangular opening through each door, leaving a frame for a glass insert. The offsets are the distance from each door edge to the opening. Offsets are validated against the door size (twice the offset must stay under the door dimension).

Enable glass panel cutout - checkbox, default off. Cuts the glass opening in each door. Offsets appear while checked - Uniform for one value on all sides, Individual (default) for Top, Bottom, Left, Right separately; all default to 50.

Drawers

Each drawer is a box of carcass-thickness sides, front and back with a thin fiber floor seated in grooves. A fixed 98 mm rail allowance is subtracted from the cabinet width to size the box interior. "Drawer Box Height" is the height of the box sides; "Drawer Front Height" is the visible front panel - the two are independent.

This section appears only for the Drawers subtype (Cabinet Options).

Number of Drawers - number, default 3, min 1, max 6. Number of stacked drawers.

Drawer Box Height - number, mm, default 150. Height of the drawer box sides (not the visible front).

Drawer Depth - number, mm, default 450. Depth of the drawer boxes.

Drawer Front Gap - number, mm, default 3. Vertical gap between adjacent drawer fronts.

Drawer Rail - stock picker, default Catalog drawer-rail default. Drawer-rail hardware from the stock catalog; two rails are placed per drawer, each priced per unit. None places no rails.

Custom drawer sizes - checkbox, default off. Sets each drawer's box height and depth individually instead of using the shared values. Rows run top to bottom, the same order as the custom door heights.

Drawer back space - number, mm, default 18. Height of each drawer's fiber floor above the drawer bottom, together with the drawer cutting tool space. Independent of the cabinet's Back Spacing.

Drawer cutting tool space - number, mm, default 4.1. CNC tool clearance for the drawer's fiber-floor groove.

Drawer fiber thickness - number, mm, default 4.1, min 1. Thickness of the drawer's fiber floor sheet and its groove width.

Drawer fiber groove depth - number, mm, default 10, min 1. How far the drawer floor extends into the drawer panels on each side.

Handles and Gola

Gola is an integrated finger pull - a notch cut into the side panels at the front (Cut Height down from the top, Cut Depth toward the back) plus two rails at each Gola position: a horizontal bottom rail and a vertical lip at the back of the cut. The Gola gap is the finger opening above the doors or between drawer fronts. Handles and hinges are hardware placed from the stock catalog; they carry their stock id for pricing.

Add Gola handle - checkbox, default off. Enables the Gola profile; the fields below appear while checked.

Gola Gap - number, mm, default 30. Vertical finger-pull opening above the doors or drawer fronts - added to the door top spacing. Shown while Add Gola handle is checked.

Cut Height - number, mm, default 70. Gola cut height, measured downward from the cabinet top. Shown while Add Gola handle is checked.

Cut Depth - number, mm, default 50. Gola cut depth, from the front edge toward the back. Shown while Add Gola handle is checked.

Rail Thickness - number, mm, default 18. Thickness of the Gola rail panels. Shown while Add Gola handle is checked.

Add Handle - checkbox, default off. Places a handle bar on each door from the selected Handle Stock, priced per handle - vertical at the opening edge on hinged doors, horizontal and centered on drawer fronts. The stock picker appears while checked.

Legs

Legs are placed 50 mm in from the cabinet corners; a 5th and 6th leg go front and back center. Their length comes from the selected leg stock's catalog length - with no leg stock selected (or a stock without a length), no legs are generated. When placing the cabinet, it is lifted so the legs rest on the clicked plane.

Leg Stock - stock picker, default Catalog leg default. Leg hardware from the stock catalog; the leg length comes from the stock's catalog entry. None generates no legs.

Leg Count - number, default 4, min 0, max 6. Number of legs. Floor types default to 4; wall-hung types default to 0.

Materials, Tags and Stocks

Three assignments per part group. Material is the visual finish only - leave it as None to use the assigned Stock's catalog material. Tag sets the part's SketchUp tag (model organization and visibility). Stock selects the catalog sheet the part is cut from - it drives nesting (which sheet the panel lands on) and pricing. One Uniform/Individual toggle switches between a single Frame row for the whole carcass and one row per part group. The separate rows (Fiber, Door, and where present Gola Rail or the HDF rows) always apply regardless of the toggle.

Individual part group rows for this type: Sides, Bottom, Support Rails, Shelves, Drawer Frame.

Separate rows (always active): Fiber, Door, Gola Rail.
