Hello OneFinity Owners, I am hoping to get some help. I am in the middle of an interesting real life project involving my kitchen cabinet doors. I needed to shorten the height of a cabinet, the cabinet work is done but now I have the doors to do. I plan to cut about 6 inches off the bottom of the door and then use my X50 to replicate the bottom profile I cut off. I was able to design a first draft replica in VCarve but I did it using the rectangle tool and an offset. Now I do not know how to cut just the bottom line of the profile and the two bottom internal radius corners. I would love any advice on how to cut just the part of the design inside of the very squiggly green line in the photo. Thanks in advance! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/a/e/aef9f281e7067299a174023c10f15870219ca549.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/d/8/d8f2f502dc454bb063c0a77648501d9077598e9a.jpeg) ---

My approach would be to not alter the original door (if that is what you are planning) but to fabricate a new door. With all of the variables of exact part location on automation, ect. it is going to make it a really difficult make the mod look seamless. Make some test cuts on foam board to validate the process as you move forward though. Is there a reason it would not be easier to make the modification with manual shop tools instead? ---

I think VCarve lets you chose your boundary for a tool path based on another vector. I.e. Draw a box covering what you want to carve, then do a tool path within the box. It would be in the tool path settings, near the top. ---

Phil, great idea on making the whole door, As for the conventional tools… If the raised panel had square corners this project would be done! HAHA, I honestly do not have the woodworking experience to understand how to route this profile(the internal radius corners) with my conventional tools. ---

Thanks for the reply! I will research that too. It is unbelievable how many times I have run into a challenge designing something and then learn Vector created a tool to solve that problem.
