Tower Cabinet (TC)

A tall floor cabinet split into stacked compartments by horizontal dividers: a bottom compartment, optional built-in oven and microwave spaces (left open, no door or back), and a top compartment. The bottom and top compartments each get their own door, fiber back and shelves.

All compartment heights are inner clear heights. The height allocation bar in Appliance Spaces reserves five panel thicknesses (top, bottom and up to three dividers) and shows what remains for the top compartment as you type. With an appliance space unchecked the built frame uses one divider less, so the top compartment comes out one panel thickness taller than the bar predicts.

Dimensions

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

Height - number, mm, default 2400, min 100. Outer cabinet height. Total height; must be at least 500.

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.

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.

Appliance Spaces

Bottom Compartment Height - number, mm, default 400. Inner clear height of the bottom cabinet compartment.

Add oven space - checkbox, default on. Reserves an open built-in oven space above the bottom compartment.

Oven Height - number, mm, default 580, min 300. Inner clear height of the oven space. Shown while Add oven space is checked.

Add microwave space - checkbox, default on. Reserves an open built-in microwave space above the oven space.

Microwave Height - number, mm, default 380, min 200. Inner clear height of the microwave space. Shown while Add microwave space is checked.

Height allocation - read-only display. Live readout of the top compartment's remaining inner height: cabinet height minus the compartment and appliance heights minus five panel thicknesses (top, bottom, three dividers). Turns into an error when over-allocated; under 100 mm remaining is flagged as a tight fit.

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.

Shelf counts are set per compartment (bottom and top).

Bottom compartment shelves - checkbox, default off. Adds shelves to the bottom compartment; the count appears while checked.

Bottom Shelf Count - number, default 0, min 0, max 10. Shelves in the bottom compartment. Shown while Bottom compartment shelves is checked.

Top compartment shelves - checkbox, default off. Adds shelves to the top compartment; the count appears while checked.

Top Shelf Count - number, default 0, min 0, max 10. Shelves in the top compartment. Shown while Top compartment 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 tower's bottom and top compartments each get their own fiber back; the oven and microwave spaces stay open.

Bottom compartment fiber - checkbox, default on. Fiber back for the bottom compartment.

Top compartment fiber - checkbox, default on. Fiber back for the top compartment.

Fiber Thickness - number, mm, default 4.1, min 1. Thickness of the fiber sheets, and the width of their grooves.

Fiber Extension (Groove) - number, mm, default 10, min 1. How far the fiber extends into the surrounding panels on each side; grooves are cut to the same depth.

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.

The bottom and top compartment doors are configured independently, each with its own spacing set.

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. One shared setting covers both compartment doors.

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

Add bottom door - checkbox, default on. Door for the bottom compartment, with its own Uniform/Individual spacing set (defaults 0 top and bottom, 1.5 left and right).

Add top door - checkbox, default on. Door for the top compartment, with its own Uniform/Individual spacing set.

Door Thickness - number, mm, default 18, min 5. Thickness of both compartment doors.

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).

Glass is configured independently for the bottom and top compartment doors.

Bottom door glass cutout - checkbox, default off. Glass opening in the bottom compartment door, with its own offsets (default 50).

Top door glass cutout - checkbox, default off. Glass opening in the top compartment door, with its own offsets (default 50).

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.

The Top/Bottom row drives both the top and bottom panels.

Individual part group rows for this type: Sides, Top/Bottom, Dividers, Shelves.

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