How gola and FGP handles shrink shutters and drawers

Learn how gola and finger-groove handle items automatically shorten shutters and drawer fronts through reduction values set on the handle item.

1. Gola profile and finger-groove (FGP) handle items in the catalog can declare reduction values (shutter height reduction, shutter width reduction, drawer height reduction, shutter bottom reduction as additional properties on the item).

2. When such a handle is applied, the shutter or drawer front is automatically shortened to make room for the profile - this is expected, not a bug.

3. The reduction is also shared with neighbours: a shutter directly above/below a horizontal gola/FGP takes half of the reduction on its adjoining edge so the visible gaps stay even, and drawer boxes under a gola fascia are shortened by the declared drawer height reduction.

4. If the handle item declares a shutter bottom reduction, applying it updates the shutter/fascia bottom margin and shows the toast 'Shutter Reduction Changed'.

5. Gola handles are applied at the individual drawer level rather than to the whole cabinet, so a gola can be removed on just the drawers where it is not wanted, and each drawer's height can be adjusted individually to suit the gola arrangement.

6. For a G-handle, only the shutter is reduced; no carcass reduction is required or applied, so the carcass dimensions stay unchanged.

7. To change how much a gola shrinks fronts, edit these properties on the handle item in the catalog rather than resizing shutters manually.

8. The shutter reduction values are set as additional properties on the gola/profile handle item in the catalogue, so changing the gap means editing those reduction values on the handle item rather than resizing the shutter manually.
