From there, use Polyboard\u2019s measuring tool to record the correct measurements and resize the box\u2019s height, width and depth accordingly to fit in the space. The box is automatically resized once you have updated the dimensions.<\/p><p>Other Polyboard features include the ability to make a box fit into a sloping roof by measuring the distance between the top and bottom of the roof rafter. You can also use the Unboxing command to make sure that the box fits around the column, as well as add a plinth. Once you\u2019ve done that, you can see the aesthetic details of the cabinet in 3D, as well as use transparent mode to view assembly and hardware details.<\/p><p>If you want to change the material of the cabinet, you can use the Manufacturing Methods feature in the same way as you would a style sheet to apply all the new characteristics of the project in one click.<\/p><p>Polyboard also lets you easily add elements inside the cabinet with one click. This includes horizontal divisions, uprights, doors, shelves and drawers. You can change the aesthetics of each of these parts individually.<\/p><p>As well as enabling you to easily design a complex furniture project in under 10 minutes, Polyboard also provides all the manufacturing documents. In X-ray mode, you can see all the manufacturing, assembly and hardware details: shelves have the machining details drilled out for screws, and all hinges are accounted for. Polyboard also produces and updates the cutting lists, CNC files, and cost calculations as you are designing the project.<\/p><p>Here are some more Polyboard resources:<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/wooddesigner.org\/polyboard-software-tools\/\">What is Polyboard<\/a> overview and versions<\/p><p>All our <a href=\"https:\/\/wooddesigner.org\/support\/polyboard-videos\/\">Polyboard video tutorials<\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/wooddesigner.org\/polyboard-download-software\/\">Polyboard download<\/a> and also a download of the latest version of our Polyboard libraries<\/p><p>Thanks for reading.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using Polyboard to design furniture is fast, easy and efficient.
