Understand where shutter reductions come from

Learn how the four margin values are set by construction preferences and why each shutter can still differ.

1. Every shutter system carries four margin values (top, bottom, left, right reductions) that shrink the shutter relative to its opening.

2. Shutter reduction defaults come from the design's construction preferences (Preferences > Cabinet > Construction > Shutter System: Main Partition for a cabinet's main partition, Other Partitions for inner partitions). A shutter system added to a partition takes the preference values at that moment. A catalogue unit placed in the design comes with its own reductions, and changing the preferences does not change the shutter systems already in the design.

3. There are two separate preference sets: one for the cabinet's main (outer) partition and one for inner ('other') partitions - so outer doors and inner doors can legitimately show different gaps.

4. The per-side reduction of a shutter system added in the design comes from the design's construction preferences, which hold separate sets for cabinets and for wardrobes (Preferences > Cabinet / Wardrobe > Construction > Shutter System, each with main-partition and other-partition values), so base, wall and tall units share one set and wardrobes use their own. A catalogue unit placed in the design comes with its own reductions.

5. Each shutter can then be overridden individually via its left/right/top/bottom shift parameters in the shutter menu (these also accept formulas).

6. Drawer fascias have their own equivalent set of four fascia reductions per drawer.

7. Both shutters and drawer fascias use the same four reduction parameters (left, right, top and bottom).

8. There is no single preference option that sets the shutter gap directly; the gap comes from the shutter system's construction preferences (and can be overridden per shutter), so it may differ from the gap set on individual units.

9. The gap is a per-design value.

10. The required gap (e.g. 3 mm) must be set manually for each design.
