    Horizontal Panel Tool to Create a Shape
    In This Topic

    This command lets you insert a Horizontal Panel (or HPanel) into a drawing. A HPanel is drawn in a similar manner to a Poly and allows you to place horizontal sections that may form unusual shapes, which can represent benchtops or shelves for example.

    These are for display only and are not machinable.

    Tutorial

    In this tutorial we will create a shape for a skirting/capping profile using the Horizontal Panel Tool.

    Step 1 - Create Shape

    To place simply select the tool and click the corner points on the plan view.

     

    Step 2 - Export to Profile

    Once you the shape you want, right click and select the 'Export to Profile QPF...'

    Step 3 - JPG Image

    You will also need to create a .jpg image of the profile that you just created for CabMaster to display in the drawing properties.

    Now you must save the .jpg in the same folder as the .QPF file saved in Step 2 with the same name.

    Example 

    Now you are free to make a new Moulding Material in the Materials Manager  that uses the new profile you have just created.
