As requested, here's a bit of detail regarding the drawer heights from my previous blog entry.

After laying out the drawers using the Hambridge progression I ended up with a difficult set of dimensions to work with.

When I got finished, the overall height of the layout measured 43 31/64" high. The case in the dresser to the left is drawn as 44" high. The first step to getting reasonable drawer fronts is to scale the layout vertically. With the top of the layout aligned with the top of the case, I selected the entire layout followed by the Scale tool. Then I pulled the center bottom handle down to align the bottom of the case. Once you start moving the Scale handle, you can move the cursor over to the corresponding edge and click to set the Scale distance.

After scaling, the drawer spaces from top to bottom were 6 31/64", 7 11/64", 8 9/64", 9 41/64" and 12 37/64". I'd prefer to make the drawer fronts to more easily cut dimensions. I decided I would go to the nearest 16th of an inch. I started at the top and move the horizontal lines down to until I ended up with the following dimensions: 6 1/2, 7 3/16, 8 1/8, 9 5/8, 12 9/16.

As I mentioned in the previous post, I chose the reveal dimension and used Offset on each of the rectangles with that dimension. I chose 1/2" for this example.

This results in a 1" space between each drawer front so we need to modify that. I selected all bottom edges that needed to be moved and moved them down 1/4". Then I repeated that for the top drawer edges except I moved them up. I also split the top drawer in two.

The unneeded lines were then deleted.

And the layout copied to the front of the case. As before, Push/Pull was used to add a little thickness to the drawer fronts. I decided to add a bevel on the drawer fronts so I used Offset on each of the drawer fronts. I used a dimension of 3/4" for these. Then I selected the faces and while Holding Alt, used the Move tool to move the selected faces out 1/2". Alt invokes Auto-Fold which automatically adds the bevel and the lines at the corners. That's a very quick way to create a raised panel.

I think the result is pleasing and it it actually quite fast to do.
