Set and check the back panel offset on a carcass
Set the back panel offset at carcass level and work out the clear void it leaves behind the panel.
The back panel's offset is set at the carcass level in the Construction tab's Back Panel dropdown and its on/off in Carcass > Carcass Panels Visibility > Back, so each carcass can carry its own back panel and offset independently.

The back panel's groove (extension) has defaults for all four in Preferences > Cabinet > Construction > Carcass > Back Panel Extension.

To leave a specific clear void behind the back panel, set the back panel offset to the desired void plus the back panel thickness (for example, back panel thickness plus 18), since the offset is measured to the panel's outer face and the clear space equals the offset minus the thickness.
The offset field accepts a formula that references the back panel thickness, for example back panel thickness plus 18, so the offset can be tied to the panel thickness rather than entered as a fixed number.
The offset applies only when a full back panel is present; if back rails are used instead, the offset value has no effect and the rails must be positioned by translating them along the Z axis.

To check a wardrobe's back panel construction, select the back panel and open the Construction tab in the panel section, where its Offset (and extension) values can be reviewed.
