How to build cabinets

Anonymous — Fri, 19 Oct 2018 00:30:34 GMT

Hello I am very new to designing on a program, but I own a custom cabinet shop and I know this software is capable of designing kitchens I am just wondering if someone could point me to the right how to videos that are directly related to what I am trying to accomplish with the software. Or if you have shortcuts of how to's that would be greatly appreciated as well.

Thank you!

Hi,

You can find the cabinet designs in Autodesk Gallery by clicking the link below.

https://gallery.autodesk.com/fusion360/projects#query=cabinet&filters=%5B%5D&sort=relevance

When you download and open a cabinet model, please see the timeline below the model screen. You can view all the design steps of any design from beginning to the end in Fusion 360 timeline.

Regards,

Hey blacklabelcustomcabinetsllc,

Welcome! The Sheeter add-in will probably make your life a lot easier. It lets you connect Fusion parameters to a Google Sheet- great for organizing and controlling overall dimensions and organizing cut lists.

@Anonymous Hey this is cool to read. Do you have a link for your website? I teach furniture design with Fusion360 and cabinet design is a question that comes up with my students a lot.

I'm still missing some plugin for woodworker, like Inventor and SW has.

@Anonymous: As much as I appreciate your effort, I can not agree to the why you did it. You really should respect Rule #1 and you should use components. This shortens your timeline if you work on individual components, you can create joints (if you want to) and parts will be listed in the BOM of drawings.

I've exported an example.

Totaly agree @lichtzeichenanlage. In later versions i did folow rule #1 and it makes more sense.

Thank you for sharing your model, i find it very interesting
