Overview
The corner cabinet is comprised of 2 sub-cabinets and 45 degree angled back. The Left bay contains the left end and left back of the corner cabinet, while the right bay contains all other parts (top, deck, shelves, right end and right back). On a face frame cabinet, the rail and stiles are also split between the two bays.
Dimensions
The overall size of the cabinet is determined by entering the height and the four components that make up the width and depth.
Wings
You can create corner cabinets that have the ends extending past the back of the cabinet. This is accomplished by entering a value in the Inset Back property.
Editing the cabinet
Compared to a normal cabinet, you need to drill down one extra layer before making changes. After getting the corner cabinet into edit, you can double click on the bay that you want to work on.
Tip: You might find it easier to use the SketchUp outliner to navigate your way inside this cabinet.
Adding doors
Doors are also split between the two bays. Place one of the bays into edit and add the door. It's easier if you rotate the cabinet so that you are looking straight on to the bay that your are editing. In the next image, I have the left bay in edit and have rotated it prior to adding the door.
Tip: The face of the door should be towards you when adding it to the bay. If it is oriented any other way, it means that you don't have the correct bay in edit.
Corner Shelves
The shelf component developed for the corner cabinet does not exhibit the same behavior as you find in the normal cabinet. The main difference is that you cannot drag it up or down within the cabinet but instead must use the component options to alter its position.
You have 3 options to reference your shelf from:
Angled Corner Fronts
You can request that a top, bottom and shelves of a corner cabinet use an angled corner front so that you can radius these parts. On the part that you want to do the radius work, toggle on the angled front.
Use the SketchUp tools to put a radius on the front edge.
Use the push-pull tool to remove the unwanted material.
These radiuses will export to your CNC as well.
Back Visibility
You can control the visibility of both backs of the corner cabinet.
This will come in handy when you want to do a corner cabinet for a closet.
