Full Top

WHAT IS IT?

A complete panel spanning the cabinet top.

WHEN WOULD I USE IT?

Use when the cabinet requires a closed full top.

WHAT DOES IT CHANGE?

Adds the full top part and its material, connections, cut list and drawing.

HOW DO I SET IT?

Choose Full top panel.

EXAMPLE

A wall cabinet with a complete top panel.

Two Support Rails

WHAT IS IT?

Separate front and rear rails spanning between the cabinet sides.

WHEN WOULD I USE IT?

Use when rails are the intended top bracing instead of a full panel.

WHAT DOES IT CHANGE?

Creates two manufacturing parts and updates connections, quantities, cut list and drawings.

HOW DO I SET IT?

Choose Two Support Rails and enter Top Rail Width.

EXAMPLE

Front and rear rails each 100 mm wide.

Top Rail Width

WHAT IS IT?

The front-to-back width of each support rail; the approved default is 100 mm.

WHEN WOULD I USE IT?

Keep 100 mm for the Benchdog starting standard or change it for the actual cabinet construction.

WHAT DOES IT CHANGE?

Canonical rail geometry, 3D, cut list, PDF, connection relationships and manufacturing identity.

HOW DO I SET IT?

Enter the required width in metric or imperial mode.

EXAMPLE

Changing from 100 mm to 80 mm makes both rails 80 mm wide.

No Top

WHAT IS IT?

An explicit choice to omit both the full top and support rails.

WHEN WOULD I USE IT?

Use only where the overall installation and construction genuinely require no top.

WHAT DOES IT CHANGE?

Removes top parts and their connections and material from outputs.

HOW DO I SET IT?

Choose No top.

EXAMPLE

A specialist installation whose top is supplied by a separate validated structure.
