1. Feature Introduction

When designing entryway cabinets, corner side cabinets, or open wardrobes, panels that exceed standard lengths need to be segmented before placing an order. Without this feature, designers must manually redesign the cabinet for ordering, consuming significant time and reducing efficiency.

This update allows users to segment panels according to their preferred joining method, set breakpoints, or reference other panels for quick and multiple segmentations.

2. Feature Description

The feature is fully available for retail users. For enterprise users, administrators must grant design accounts the Panel Segmentation permission.

In Parameter Cabinet - Panel Mode, users can select a panel that requires segmentation and set the segmentation method.

Users can manually adjust the segmentation position or select a reference panel for segmentation. When a reference panel is selected, the system automatically adjusts the panel extension to fit the joining position.

Two segmentation methods are available:

1. Duplicate Segmentation – The panel is duplicated at the segmentation point, creating two identical panels. This method is ideal for shaped components, accessory fittings, or multi-component panels requiring an exact match.

2.Direct Cutting – The panel is split at the segmentation point, inheriting the original panel's internal and external contours.

3. How it works

1.Open a kitchen or wardrobe design and switch to 3D View within the cabinet module.

2.In the top module menu, switch to Panel Mode, select the panel to be segmented, right-click, and choose Panel Segmentation.

3.In the segmentation panel, configure the segmentation details, including gap values and segmentation positions. Users can also select a reference panel for quick segmentation, adjust whether the segmentation extends, and set alignment methods.

4.Confirm to complete the segmentation process.

4. Example

Sideboard Segmentation - Duplicate Method
This method duplicates the original panel at the segmentation point. It is useful for panels with multiple components or panels without defined internal and external contours.

Pet Cabinet Segmentation - Direct Cutting Method
To retain pre-edited internal contours, the Direct Cutting method should be used. This ensures that the segmented panel retains its internal and external contours while preserving existing contour parameters or recalculating them accordingly.

5. Important Notes

1.Panels with object names cannot be parameter-driven after segmentation. Use this function carefully.

2.In the Direct Cutting method, overlapping points or coordinate points with parameter expressions may cause panel contour deformation. If prompted, proceed with caution.

3.After segmentation, the action can be undone. However, resizing or canceling segmentation is not supported.

4.Direct Cutting is not supported in the following cases:

• • When the segmentation point affects irregular internal or external contours.
  • For multi-component panels.
  • If the segmented panel includes conditions for hiding or displaying.
