I just posted a video showing the creation of a cabinet job using a Room Configurator on YouTube, and have embedded it below…
There will be more videos as well as articles in this series, all of which describe a package deal of configurators for custom cabinet shops that the ODP’s parent company, Applied Design Intelligence is offering.
Update: The article related to this post, the Room Configurator, has been posted.
In the last installment of this iLogic Tutorial, we went back in time in the Layout Part to change the top of the Shaker Table from a single wide board to four boards. We still need to make parts from the new Solid Bodies, and create the iLogic configurations that will their number and width.We’ll make the new parts first. Open up your assembly model, Designing a Shaker Table with Autodesk Inventor.iam. Then open the layout part from within the assembly. To begin, in the layout Part (Designing a Shaker Table with Autodesk Inventor.ipt) switch to the Manage Tab, then on the Layout Panel, choose the Make Components tool…
I’m not going to get super involved at this point, but I will add a configurable trim allowance at some point. I’m not 100% sure how to do so, but that’s never stopped me before.
We left off in the last installment –iLogic Tutorial – Automatic Board Configurator 01 –with the once single board top reduced to a more normal width <= 6, and have added three potential boards. The first thing to do would be to get rid of the Chamfer on the edge facing inwards…
To begin this iLogic tutorial, we will need to go way back to the beginning of the Shaker Table series to the first sketch in the table’s Layout Part, the Top Sketch. The first thing to do in that Top Sketch is remove the horizontal constraint between the center of the top and the Center Point. Just window select the point shown below, then hit delete…
Well…….. It’s been an incredibly long time since my last post. Over a year if you disregard the lame one about using Fractions in Parameters posted way back in in January. The reason for this huge posting lapse Is that I have been working on a contract job in Washington State…
…and since June, I’ve been building the little BIM Eco House half days and on weekends in addition to the contract work. A very busy summer!
But now, the contract with the Washington company has wrapped up and I am fairly well caught up on the house build leaving me with enough time to write at least a couple articles a week from here on in. I plan to link these efforts here at the ODP with my Autodesk Inventor for Woodworkers LinkedIn Group (feel free to join) as I haven’t done squat there either (I started the group just before I left for Washington last year).
