Place a custom panel in a cabinet
Add a custom panel from the catalogue or with Add Custom Panel, follow the dashed outline and click to commit it.
When a custom panel is added from the catalogue into an existing cabinet, corner unit, partition, shutter system or drawer, the app enters a placement mode: the panel itself stays hidden and a dashed outline placeholder follows the cursor.

Clicking commits the placement, makes the panel visible and opens its properties.
✓ Comprobado en el producto el 10 de octubre de 2026Pressing Esc ends the placement: a panel waiting from Insert > Furnish > Custom Panels is removed, but a panel added with the cabinet's Add Custom Panel stays inside the unit, hidden, so click to place it instead.
✓ Comprobado en el producto el 10 de octubre de 2026The Add Custom Panel option is found under the partition's construction group, and the panel's dimensions must be entered by the user rather than being inherited from the unit. Unlike a catalogue drop, pressing Esc during Add Custom Panel's placement currently leaves the new panel inside the unit, hidden, so click to place it rather than cancelling with Esc.
A custom panel is allowed to be larger than the cabinet it is dropped into; it is not clipped or repositioned, so users can intentionally place oversized panels.
✓ Comprobado en el producto el 10 de octubre de 2026The 'Enable panels for manual dimensioning' option lives in the elevation preferences under the Dimensioning group.
✓ Comprobado en el producto el 10 de octubre de 2026Once enabled you select the custom panel and type its dimension directly on that panel rather than at the top of the panel.
When adding a custom panel, first set its X, Y and Z positions to zero so you can see which direction each axis moves the panel. Then apply the correct offset per axis (e.g. panel thickness on the side the panel must sit, bed depth for Y, bed height for Z). This makes it easy to work out the right placement formula before entering final values.
