Adding a New Hinge - Full Overlay, Half Overlay and Inset

I could not locate anything about adding a new hinge / hinge plates for FRAMELESS

We sometimes have customers request Hardware Resources hinges - Example: 725 Series - 110°
Well the "tab" with the overlays do not really much up to anything real well. We sometimes just end up using a Salice, which has a static 5mm "tab" dimension, and we change the calc from =5/Unit_Divisor to =7/Unit_Divisor in the "LookUpTableHingePlates" table.

I found this about the someone else having an issue but nothing about adding a new hinge

So ... we'd like to add Full Overlay, Half Overlay and Inset for HR Hinges [90°, 105°, 110°, 125°, 165° & 170°] and the associated plates of [0mm, 2mm, 3mm, 6mm and 9mm]

What I know and just need guidance and re-assuring is that we add to the tables:
  1. LookUpTableHinge
    1. Add all the 3 conditions and appropriate angle for VLookups for overlay/reveal to hinge plate table
  2. LookUpTableHingePlate
    1. Add new column for overlay lookups - Appears you need (8) columns? 
  3. Add entry to List_Hinge_Selection
    1. None|BLUM|Grass Tiomos|Grass Institutional|HAFELE|HETTICH|INSTITUTIONAL|SALICE|HR
  4. Add entry for List_Hinge_Angle_HR
    1. 90 deg|105 deg|110 deg|125 deg|165 deg|170 deg
  5. Add entry for Hinge_Plate_Inset_HR
    1. All seem to be 1.4567?? Not sure 37mm or 1.4567 refers to?
  6. New Entries into Hinges and Hinge Plate Hardware Library and Tokens
    1. All similar Ø35mm bore and Ø8mm drills for hinge cup bores
    2. All similar Ø5mm drills for hinge plates
What else I'm I missing to tackle this???

Attached is the PDF export for the 110° hinge overlay charts for frameless, full, half and inset. The "tabs" need to vary from 3mm to 7mm - depending on the overlay calculation and/or hinge plate thickness options.

Typically our plates would be the 0mm with nominal 3/4" material for the cabinet carcass sides. But sometimes our sides jump to 21mm [0.83"] thickness with 1/16" reveal resulting in the need for a 7mm "tab" vs a standard typical 5mm "tab" and that's where our problem is. Or going under for thickness and needing a thicker hinge plate or small "tab"

Can anyone point us in the right direction to add this into the library. Or a better way around it?

Thank you!
