Separate bottom thickness not functional about cabinet-calc

[L33B072]

What should we do with this section? Some times we have to screw stainless steel legs to the bottom and therefore the bottom panels need to be thicker than 3/4" for the leg screws to grab. We can just call out the bottom at 1" thick if the material is Melamine and 1.5" thick if the material is plywood.

If having legs or not is what determines the bottom thickness, then why not ask in the GUI to specify whether the cabinets will have legs or not? Then the bottom thickness can be determined from that.
What do you think?

Does the following table accurately describe the conditions that determine the bottom thickness?

Legs	Material	Thickness
No	any	3/4"
Yes	melamine	1"
Yes	plywood	1.5"
Yes	marine-grade plywood	1.5"

If it does, then it seems to me that all we would need to add is a single choice in the GUI:

Will the cabinets have legs? [x] No [ ] Yes

That works well .

I see now why you suggested adding a boolean option to the GUI for whether or not the bottom material will be stacked. I did not understand that when we were talking on the phone. That might be the right thing to do, to give the user more control.

However, that raises a question. Would a fabricator ever stack more than two panels, e.g. three 1/2" bottom panels to get to 1 1/2"? I am asking because I want to know: does stacking always mean two panels will be stacked, or could there be a greater number of panels in the stack? If so, we would need a way to specify the number of panels to be stacked, wouldn't we?

Or is all of this not worth the trouble?

I have the stacked bottom panels working provisionally. Checkout issue20 branch and you can play with it. At this point, it only stacks bottom panels if the nominal bottom thickness is 1 1/2".

Sorry for the delayed response. I just got home from work / laundry / meeting. life is packed. Ok...so I think this looks really good. The stacked bottom works with both types of the plywood. And the Melamine is converted to a 1" thick bottom piece. It isn't necessary to add more options at this point. It would be a very custom application if 3 or more panels were to be stacked. Lets leave that up to the user to hand notate changes like that. These sheets generally get marked up anyway and so anything outside of the "standard" Eurostyle cabinet build should be left for an addition module or to be "marked up" by the user. Look reall good, man!
