Cabinet maker

Hi All,

 

I made short time ago an standard cabinetcreator by using LISP. It wil set up an rightside, leftside, top, bottom and back. Just by inserting the values in mm.

Ideal for export to Excel...

 

Please see the result of it, any feedback or improvements will be appreciated..

 

ps1: use command "kast" to activate.

 

Regards MR

Cabinet V2.0.LSP

I didnt run lisp but a sugestion you can make 3d out of 2d really easy if you take the parts and lay them out on the floor like a unfolded cardboard box then just use ROTATE3D picking the correct edges and + - 90 you will end up with a 3d cupboard, to make them solid add to your code the PFACE option say picking the 4 corners this is a sort of solid so when you do HIDE you can not see through. Maybe have a second bit to the code copy panel away from insert and rotate in plan front back etc then do rotate 3d.

 

 

Ignore above but usefull for others ran your lisp

 

Why not put a DCl as front end pretty simple have an image in middle then ask questions you can have all sorts of sliders with increments etc to aid typing.

 

A couple more ideas use defuns (entmake (list (cons 0 "ATTDEF") you only need it once just set the variables and call it saves a lot of typing. Also please put a (princ "to use type KAST" ) as top line had to open twice to work out what command to run benefit of dummy's like me.

 

I could be wrong but the box did not look right some of the corners looked like they had a +thickness distance in them when looking top compared to bottom do a hide. Worked it out top is slightly smaller than side panels not sure why ?

 

Maybe a simpler way is using "thickness"

Well The lisp was writed a year ago.. and it is for 3d cabinets... You can draw them part for part by hand but you will see using this lisp your cabinets wil come togheter much quicker... you can also use def. axtractor to get al the parts in Excel automatic.. Want to render the 3d cabinet? Also possible but do it after you axtract the definitions to excel. You have to explode al the blocks 1 time before you can give it an material. And then it wil loose his definitions.

 

If you use it for an interiorboulder company beware of the fact. It will not increase your speed for work preparation... It just give you an 3d sample of the interior.

To increase you work preparation you have to focus on 2D dynamic blocks and synchronize it with your CNC-machine.

 

Good luck
