Welcome to another Wood Designer news update.\u00a0The holidays are over so we’re back up to\u00a0full speed.<\/p>\n

For the rest of the year, we’ll be telling you about some great new ways to design and build your furniture and stairs and massively improve your productivity. Get ready for new videos and models, new software features, new training packs and some very exciting new services and products.<\/p>\n

Today we’ve got brand new methods for\u00a0setting up your hardware in Polyboard, plus your drawers and doors, your edging and hanging rails, the drillings for handles and plenty more. This is all explained in a\u00a0series of new videos in combination with our updated\u00a0Polyboard libraries.<\/p>\n

Don’t forget those libraries\u00a0contain loads of models that show you some of what’s possible with the software. We\u00a0are showcasing 4\u00a0new models today.<\/p>\n

If you build stairs, please read\u00a0a nice summary on the forum on\u00a0the best methods for milling wreathed handrails.<\/p>\n

We’d also\u00a0very much like to welcome Carole Bosy to the team. With a woodwork background and already proficient in Polyboard, she is our new Customer Support Manager. For now, her focus will be mainland Europe.<\/p>\n

1. Discover the quickest way yet to design and manufacture with Polyboard<\/h3>\n

\"woodworkWe’ve just launched a new version of our Polyboard libraries. In the old days, you had to set up your hardware yourself, your edging, your materials, your doors and drawers, everything in fact.<\/p>\n

\"woodwork<\/p>\n

We’ve also included 4\u00a0new\u00a0models in the most recent\u00a0version of the\u00a0Polyboard Quick Design libraries, each highlighting some great functionality you might not know about.<\/p>\n

First up, a curved reception desk. Made of several cabinets, this project is a good example of how to set up the general plan in CAD and then import the shapes into Polyboard to get a great 3D presentation super fast.\u00a0The model is in its own folder in the models library where\u00a0you’ll also find the DXF file we used to create it.<\/p>\n

We also have a Tech models folder that groups examples of what the libraries enable you to do simply and quickly. You can copy and use them to set up your own furniture. This month we offer you 3\u00a0new models that are often requested:<\/p>\n
