Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to have an arrow on our doors/drawers to show grain direction on the 3D Drawing of the cabinet or even in the Flatshot token? I've looked at the parameters for the flatshot token in the Metafile Instructions, but I did not see anything. Looking to get this into our products. Thanks in advance, ChrisCreating flat shots
Im confused as to how you get a product to create a flatshot of its self. I want to create something like the dynamic product image but i cant seem to get the product to take a flatshot and apply it next to the product. Any good walkthrough on howDifferent Types of Edgebanding on Different Sides
So in our shop, our edgebander performs a pre-mill before applying edge tape, therefore a 400mmx400mm square panel will come off the CNC at its actual size (400mmx400mm). This is fine except for when we have an edge that needs to be finished by hand (scallops,Flatshot Token for better default elevations?
While working on some simple custom products I got the the point where I have to do the elevations. I did it using bunch of DRAWRECTANGLE tokens and deleting the DRAW2DBOX tokens in the Drawing Tokens Tab.

Is there a way to have more than (8) shelf rows adjustable / fixed? We'd like to ... let's say "double" the allowed quantity of (8) shelves / (9) openings.
