    Basic Furniture Design 1 Overview

    Introduction

    Making furniture is a very rewarding past time, and with specialised woodworking

    tools being reasonably priced these days, it becomes easier to tackle bigger projects.

    And the great thing about making furniture is that from simple bedside cupboards or

    book shelves, to large entertainment centres, cupboard construction is similar. This also applies to tables.

    However, all projects start with a design which can be time consuming.

    The pain with any design is producing the drawing, calculating the cutting dimensions,

    and working out how to cut the components from sheet material. Its also hard to visualise how the furniture will look when finished, especially when you apply what if.

    What if I make the cupboard a bit higher, or wider? What gaps do I get if I add an

    extra shelf?

    The repetition involved in the furniture design process has lead to the development of

    the Basic Furniture Design software, which greatly reduces the design and assembly time, and promotes accuracy.

    The Software The Basic Furniture Design software assists woodworkers and cabinet makers with

    designing BASIC rectangular cupboards, corner cupboards and tables. Door and

    drawer modules are included, and a sheet cutting layout module assists with determining the lay out of components on sheet material. The software is specifically

    suited to the DIY or Hobbyist woodworker, but is also used by businesses and schools.

    However, there is no support provided for commercial use since the software is not a production system.

    Businesses generally use the software to produce a quick initial design, and then use CAD to produce the production details. Some businesses simply use the Sheet Layout

    module only.

    Schools use the software to help students easily design simple projects. Some students find it difficult to decide on a project, or are lacking in CAD skills to produce

    the plan. The software can assist with teaching students the design process: design

    concepts, material selection, assembly methods, workshop plan, bill of materials, etc.

    The software will run on PCs with Windows 98SE and upwards. However the 3D

    Viewer requires MS DirectX 9 to work properly, and a compatible graphics adapter

    with 32 Mb memory. On the Downloads Page of the website you can download the

    Test3D file to your computer which allows you to test the 3D Viewer. You must copy

    the file to a temporary folder on your computer, then when you run it, it will unzip the

    executable and supporting files. Then you simply run the unzipped executable. Pressing the F1 key in the 3D Viewer will display the Help file.

    The software allows designs to be easily created because you simply enter dimensions

    Basic Furniture Design 2 Overview

    for each component, and make allowances for rebates and clearances. This is unlike CAD software were you have to add and position parts on the drawing. Of course,

    using CAD has the flexibility to allow you to design anything, but is much more

    involved.

    The software attempts to allow for standard construction methods, but there will be

    times where your construction method is different. In this situation, you will need to

    take this into consideration separately, however most of the calculations will still provide the overall design construction, thus providing a guide in the workshop.

    At first glance it might appear that you can only design the simplest of furniture. However the software is flexible, allowing you to design furniture in modules, which

    can then be joined together to form the final piece. For example, you can use the

    Table Design to make the leg base for a cupboard, and the Cupboard Design for the

    cupboard that will be connected to the base. Another example is designing a buffet hutch, where the bottom base unit is a cupboard, and the top is a shelf unit that will

    be connected after construction.

    The software does not design framed construction, only flat panel. However, if you

    wish to have cupboard sides that are rail and stile, simply use the Door/Panel Design

    to calculate the components, and replace the flat sides with the panel during construction.

    The software uses metric dimensions (mm), but imperial dimensions (inches) can be

    entered through the aid of a popup conversion dialog, and printed.

    The rest of this document shows sample screens of various parts of the

    application. You should also download the Help File from the Downloads page of the web site for more information.

    Basic Furniture Design 3 Overview

    1 Rectangular Cupboards There are so many cupboards that fall into this furniture category that it is probably

    the most used design in the software.

    Some examples are: Book shelves, bedside cabinets, wardrobes, buffets, vanity units, shaving cabinets, linen cupboards, display units, entertainment units, and any other

    type of storage cupboards.

    With some imagination, by combining multiple designs you can make cupboards on

    legs and cupboards with shelf units on top.

    The following pictures show the layout and options available in the Cupboard Design

    screen.

    Picture 1.1 The Cupboard Design screen showing options for the Top

    Generally, all Design screens are similar in layout and the first area you notice is the

    Drawing Area. The drawing is updated by the software based on the dimensions entered and selected options. You cannot change this drawing using the mouse - it is

    not CAD.

    Below the drawing is where you enter the overall dimensions of the cupboard, and

    would be the first dimensions you enter.

  • Copyright 2006. Homia PC Applications

    Basic Furniture Design 4 Overview

    Below the cupboard dimensions is a series of buttons. These buttons allow for easy location of the components you want to change, and create a logical flow for working

    through the design. You simply start from the Top and click each button in order until

    you get to the Other Bits. As you can see, the software is designed to be easy to use, even by people with limited computer experience.

    As you click these buttons, the area on the right of the screen displays the relevant

    dimensions and options that can be entered for that part. In picture 1.1 you see the cupboard Top is displayed. All you need to do is work your way down the list,

    changing dimensions and selecting options as you go, and the drawing will be

    updated accordingly. You might need to refer to the Help file for more information on each option, which can be accessed by pressing the F1 key. There is also quick

    information that can be displayed by clicking on the i icon .

    The following pictures show the dimensions and options currently available for each cupboard part.

    Picture 1.3 Cupboard - Rail Options

    Picture 1.4 Cupboard - Shelf Options

    One point to make is that doors and drawers are not calculated automatically during the design process. Doors and drawers must be designed separately to produce a

    cutting list. There are two main reasons for this. First, there are too many dimensions

    and options to display during the cupboard design process, and second, you should always confirm the door and drawer opening dimensions after the cupboard is

    assembled.

    However, if you will have doors on the cupboard, you must allow for doors in the

    cupboard design screen. This is so that - especially for inset doors, the shelf widths

    are reduced to allow the door to sit in the recess. Picture 1.5 shows where you adjust

    shelf gaps, and specify the position of doors and drawers. This is the first step in

  • Copyright 2006. Homia PC Applications

    Basic Furniture Design 6 Overview

    allowing for doors.

    The dimensions in Picture 1.5 show the shelf

    gaps for the left and right side of the cupboard.

    You change these dimensions to set the gaps as

    required.

    To set the position of doors and drawers you

    click the rectangles and squares located on each side of the shelf gap. Doors positions are

    set using the rectangles on the left and can

    span shelves, drawers are the squares on the

    right and are positioned within the shelf gap.

    Picture 1.5 Cupboard - Shelf Gap and Door/Drawer Position Options

    The second step in allowing for doors is to actually tick the option Allow for door/s

    and drawers in the Doors Area. This is shown in Picture 1.6.

    Picture 1.6 Cupboard - Door/Drawer Allowance Options

    The Show/Hide Doors button simply allows you to show doors and drawers on the

    drawing and in the 3D Viewer. It provides the option to hide them so that the drawing

    is clearer when concentrating on the carcass only, but they are still allowed for in the calculations.

    Picture 1.7 Cupboard The 3D view showing Doors hidden and shown.

    The Door Frame dimensions shown in Picture 1.6 is where you specify how far the

    door is recessed into the cupboard. This is used to calculate the reduction in shelf width to accommodate the door. You simply enter the door thickness, and then

    specify how far the door protrudes from the cupboard (the Lip Height).

    Basic Furniture Design 9 Overview

    The area called Other Bits (Picture 1.12 below) allows you to save and print extra

    notes about the design, and set a 3D position for the cupboard in the 3D Viewer. The

    3D position is used to view multiple units that make up the completed furniture. For example, if you had a base cupboard unit that is 900 mm high and a shelf unit that

    will sit on top, then the 3D position for the base will be zero, and the position for the

    shelves will be 919 mm (assuming the Top was 19 mm thick). When you add the two

    designs to the 3D Viewer, the shelves will be shown on top of the base.

    An example of multiple designs shown as one

    cupboard is shown in Picture 1.13 below.

    Picture 1.12 Cupboard - Comments and 3D Positioning Options

    The 3D Viewer is started by clicking the 3D button located on the toolbar of the

    Design window.

    The viewer is a separate program and does not need to be closed

    during a session. This allows you to

    switch between design windows and display different furniture designs

    together. For example, you can go

    into the Table design and load a

    table, then go into the Cupboard design and add [3D+] a cupboard to

    the viewer (say positioned on top of

    the table).

    This is handy when designing large

    scale projects such as built-in wall units.

    When printing a design, you can choose to save the cutting list to a file which can be

    imported into the Sheet Layout module. All printing is shown in a Preview window

    first, then you can choose to send the preview to the printer from there. The print options are shown in Picture 1.14.

    Picture 1.14 The Print Options

    Also, there are sample printouts at the end of this document.

    2 Corner Cupboards The Corner Cupboard design allows for four styles (shapes) of corner cupboards as

    shown.

    There are numerous methods of constructing corner cupboards, and the software attempts to provide as many options as possible to accommodate individual

    requirements. It is possible that some manual allowances will need to be made in the

    workshop during construction. However, if you keep the construction of corner

    cupboards as simple as possible, the cutting list produced should be all that is needed.

    Since corner cupboard components are more complex to cut, the software shows part

    diagrams on the cutting list. Although not to scale, the diagrams show all necessary dimensions and angles. All angles are calculated at 45 and 90, so you cannot make

    the back angle suit a corner that is not 90.

    You are able to display a top view cross section showing cupboard dimensions to

    assist with construction (Picture 2.1).

    The following pictures show the layout and options available in the Corner Cupboard Design screen. Parts not shown are similar to rectangular cupboards.

    Picture 2.2 The Corner Cupboard Design screen showing options for the Sides

    There are four front cuts that can be selected as shown below.

    Point Inside Point Outside Square 67.5 deg

    Sometimes it is difficult to work out the dimensions for a corner cupboard. The

    dimension calculator shown in Picture 2.3 allows you to enter the depth and side

    width, and shows you the results for all other dimensions. If you want the Back to be a determining factor, you can enter the Back Width and re-calculate the dimensions.

    The results can be transferred to the design screen.

    Picture 2.3 The Corner Cupboard Dimension Calculator

    If you dont want the pointed back corner, or need a post to connect rails and

    panelling to, then the cupboard can have a support post. There are a few support post

    options depending on how you want to construct the cupboard.

    The post can be calculated to sit on the outside of the cupboard which means you will

    fix it to the back, or be positioned inside the cupboard so the back is fixed to the post. Also the post can be run past the bottom shelf to the floor, or, in the case of a wall

    mounted corner cupboard, the post can sit on the bottom shelf.

    This option is shown in Picture 2.4 below.

    Picture 2.4 The Corner Cupboard - Back Options

    The design can include rails as shown in Picture 2.5 below, but are only calculated to

    sit within the carcass. This will suit most requirements.

    Picture 2.5 The Corner Cupboard - Rail Options

    The following picture shows an example of a corner cupboard in the 3D Viewer. The design has a back support post and rails at the front and back.

    Basic Furniture Design 15 Overview

    Picture 2.6 A Corner Cupboard in the 3D Viewer

    One final point about the corner cupboards is that face frames are not allowed for. If

    your design needs a face frame then you should first design the main carcass

    (possibly reducing the depth by the face frame thickness), then work out the face frame requirements manually.

    3 Tables

    The Table design allows for a number of styles of tables, which is mainly due to the

    ability to select different bottom rail options.

    Some examples are: Basic table, table with bottom shelf, table with stretcher, hall

    tables and stands.

    The following picture shows the Table Design screen and the Rail options available.

    A shelf can be allowed for as shown in Picture 3.3.

    The width and depth is calculated to fit flush with the

    outside of the rails.

    Picture 3.3 The Table Design Bottom Shelf

    The following picture shows an example of a table in the 3D Viewer. The design has a bottom end rails with a centre rail acting as a stretcher.

    4 Doors

    The Door design is a separate module so to speak, and is not linked to the Cupboard and Corner Cupboard designs. It simply allows you to produce a cutting list based on

    your style and fitting requirements.

    The software will calculate inset, lipped, and overlay doors. However, you must know

    what clearances are required for the hardware you will use. Picture 4.1 shows the

    layout of the Doors Design screen.

    Picture 4.1 The Door Design screen

  • Copyright 2006. Homia PC Applications

    Basic Furniture Design 19 Overview

    All panels in the door are calculated to be the same size, that is, evenly spaced.

    The Door design can be used to produce a cutting list for any framed panel, not only

    doors. For example, you might have designed a cupboard that has all drawers in one section, and used shelves to separate each drawer in the design. However when you

    make the cupboard, you will replace these shelves dust panels instead. All you need

    to do is make panels the same size as the shelves, as shown in the Picture 4.2 below.

    5 Drawers

    The Drawer design is a separate module like the Door design, and not linked to the

    Cupboard and Corner Cupboard designs. It simply allows you to produce a cutting list based on your style and fitting requirements.

    The software will calculate inset, lipped, and overlay drawers. However, you must know what clearances are required for the hardware you will use. Picture 5.1 shows

    the layout of the Drawers Design screen.

    Picture 5.1 The Drawer Design screen

    There are two variations in the construction of the drawer.

    1. The drawer face is screwed to the drawer box. 2. The drawer face is the front of the drawer box.

    This is selected by ticking or unticking the Use as Front checkbox shown next to the face thickness textbox in the Picture above.

    6 Materials

    The software includes a simple Materials file that is used to assist with pricing a

    project.

    Materials can be entered as per metre, per foot, per square metre, or each, and you

    can set two price levels for each record. All materials must belong to a species and group, so some thought must be given to how you will set up a new material range.

    The sizes entered are finished sizes.

    The data maintenance screen for Materials is shown in Picture 6.1 below.

    Picture 6.1 The Materials screen

    When you select materials in a design (by clicking the Materials icon next to the

    part), the software will select the closest size that you can use for the part. For example, if your rails are 65 x 19 mm pine, and you have the material size as 70 x 19

    mm, the software will calculate the price from the 70 x 19 record (it finds 70 mm as

    the closest width). However, one important point to make is that the thickness must

    match the material (eg the 19 mm).

    Basic Furniture Design 22 Overview

    7 Sheet Cutting Layout

    The software includes a Sheet Cutting Layout module to help you plan how to cut the parts from sheet material. The software does not automatically work out how to cut

    the sheet, but allows you to add parts to the sheet and move them around. Although

    its function is quite basic, it is surprisingly useful and saves a lot of time.

    The module is a separate program and should not be run while youre in a design. You

    should do all the design work first, then from the printouts, run the sheet cutting module and lay out your cutting requirements.

    When you start the program, you are asked to enter the maximum sheet size to be

    used, and specify the saw blade allowance (kerf). This is shown in Picture 7.1.

    Picture 7.1 The Sheet Size and Kerf selection screen

    The Picture 7.2 below shows the main screen, with the sheet on the left side, and the

    parts on the right. You simply add the parts (which will be shown on the right side of the screen), and then drag them onto the sheet on the left. The parts can be moved

    and rotated, then snapped into position using the arrow buttons.

    If you saved the cutting list when printing any of the designs, you can import the

    parts into the Sheet module without re-keying them. This Import screen is shown in

    Picture 7.2.
