Basic data

The page consists of two columns. The left side is the same for all types, while the right side varies by type.

Common basic data

• Here, you can enter the most important information about the element, such as name, note, and manufacturer. The file name is generated automatically. The slash "/" character is replaced by a rarely used but permissible character for file names.
  
  
• At the bottom, you can create variants. These are needed, for example, if a front has different price variations but looks the same. When selecting a front in the properties, you also need to choose from its variants. This is not mandatory. The icons below the list allow you to edit the list logically.
  
  
• The bottom two fields can be used to enter the element's price category and price. If there are variants, these can be entered separately for each variant. Direct price entry is only relevant for handles.
  
  

Front basic data

With edge - Crosswise

These are only necessary for production preparation. They do not affect the appearance of the front but are used for calculating the production list.

Asymmetric front pattern direction

The horizontal switch should be used if the front is horizontally asymmetric and you want it to follow the left-right opening of the furniture. For vertical asymmetry, the situation is similar, but the reversal depends on the vertical position of the front. The bottom of the front must start above 1 meter for vertical reversal.

Minimum height limits

These are the minimum height limits for divided glass fronts. The front will only appear with divisions above the specified size. For example, if a glass front height is 350 mm, it will not have divisions even if set in the properties. Between 400 and 650 mm, it will have one division, and above that, it will have two divisions.

Handle positions

You can set the distance of the outer handles from the edges of the front. This is the first step in handle positioning, and further adjustments can be made in the handle settings, on the furniture, in the properties, and after furnishing.

Front types

This allows you to set the filter in the properties to find the specific front. This only makes sense if there is an element in the front file at the correct location.

Handle basic data

Handle position modification

The handle position is always the hole location. For two-hole handles, it is the hole closer to the edge of the front. You can modify the handle positions assigned to the current front, but not in width and height, but in length and width, which depend on the handle's position. This is mainly needed for handles whose length significantly exceeds the hole distance, so under normal circumstances, they would protrude from the front.
Using the absolute switch, the handle positions assigned to the front are lost, and only the positions entered here will be applied.

Handle sizes

Hole Distance. The distance between holes for two-hole handles. It is important to specify this accurately, as the program uses it to place the handle.
Size. The total length of the handle. This is informational only and does not affect the appearance.
Front Reduction. For edge-mounted handles, this specifies how much smaller the front should be.

Asymmetric handle direction

For asymmetric handles, similar to fronts, the handle can rotate horizontally or vertically as needed.

Non-rotating

The handle cannot be rotated, e.g., edge-mounted handles, hanging handles.

Different if rotated

A handle that looks different when rotated, e.g., an elongated base with a hanging part. The base part rotates, but the hanging part always remains vertical. In this case, the two states need to be edited separately in the front editor. The default state is horizontal, like all handles. The vertical state should be edited in the drawer front position.

Follows front

A handle whose size changes in parallel with the front size, e.g., edge-mounted handles.

Doesnt count

The handle will not appear in the list.

Running metre

The handle's total quantity will be listed in linear meters instead of pieces.

Causes edging on front

The front will have edge banding all around if this handle is used.

Count running metre elements

Allowance for bevel cut

When calculating the lengths of linear meter elements, it adds the entered value to the total length per miter cut. It adds it twice per corner, as one corner counts as two miter cuts. The value is independent of the miter cut angle.

By piece

If enabled, linear meter elements will be totaled in lengths instead of meters, according to the length size.
