Toe kick in board – cabinet design software
How to cut a toe kick in a board? Select the board and enter the board level detail – select the surface of the board and click the Shape button.
Then follow the instructions as shown in this video.
A few tips. Start an assembly with only one board – the one with the toe kick and such. Cut the toe kick. Cut rabbets, dadoe’s or pin holes as necessary. Save as standard as” toe kick board – left” or some such. THEN…. Clone and mirror that assembly. The board will become the right board you need to match the left. Save as standard “toe kick right”. Go back into the first assembly and insert the standard board – toe kick right. Move it to the right where you need it (assembly width) and you’ll save a bunch of time. I am going to develop a clone and mirror a board function to save the intermediate steps. OTL – otherwise known as on the list. Still this is a time saver…

My woodworking love started in 6th grade in school shop class. I have a BS in Industrial Technology and an MBA. At my first job, I computerized a production accounting system – the results were positive, and I loved the challenges. I left the corporate world to begin woodworking full time and one of my first decisions was to use CAD for my designs. I found that CAD did not meet all my needs. I wrote a specification of what I wanted and turned it into a prototype. SketchList 3D incorporated in 2007. We completed programming and launched. Today thousands of woodworkers use SketchList 3D.
