Furniture design

Connected, corner, and stacked cabinets

Build multi-cabinet runs, L-shaped corners, and supported upper cabinets without breaking their shared constraints.

A connected furniture design can contain several cabinet bodies. Supernata calls each body an arm internally, while the user-facing design behaves as one composition.

Add another cabinet

Use the connected-cabinet controls to add a compatible cabinet to the left or right, create a corner arm, or place a supported cabinet above. The new body remains independently selectable for size, sections, fronts, colors, and accessories, but its position is solved from the connection.

The first lower body anchors the group. Adjacent bodies follow it with the selected gap. A corner arm rotates 90° at the junction. A stacked body sits on one or more lower supports rather than on its own legs.

Corner behavior

Choose the left or right corner orientation according to the side on which the returning arm belongs. The junction needs a usable blind or support zone, so one section can be locked or resized differently from ordinary sections. Rounded ends, doors, drawers, and accessories near the junction can be restricted to preserve the connection and opening clearance.

Rotate the model and inspect the inside corner. Confirm that handles remain reachable, doors can swing, drawers can extend, and the wall dimensions match the real site.

Shared mounting

All connected lower cabinets use one Floor or Floating mounting decision. This prevents one arm of a continuous run from floating while another rests on legs. Stacked upper bodies derive their support and suppress their stored leg choice.

Each physically connected facade run also shares one Inset or Full overlay decision. Supported zero-gap upper bodies stay in the lower run; wall-mounted uppers across a positive worktop gap form a separate run and may use a different choice. Independent groups may differ, and individual fronts may still mix Flat, Shaker, colors, and compatible opening types. Full Overlay does not support Gola and is unavailable for L/U corner groups until filler or miter junction details are supported.

Resize and remove safely

Changing the anchor can reposition the connected arms. A junction section or stacked support can be locked because another cabinet depends on it. Read the reason shown by a disabled size or delete control. To remove a support, first remove or relocate the dependent upper body.

Deleting one connected body removes that body and can re-solve the remaining group. Save a named checkpoint before restructuring an L- or U-shaped composition, then inspect every arm after the change.

Room Planner placement

When a connected design is placed in Room Planner, the group moves as one furniture item while the internal arm relationships remain intact. Edit its cabinet structure through Shelf Maker, then use Finish & return to go back to the same room project.
