Double click on canvas,

type "box" and take an orange component,

type "slider" or "knob" and thus,

copy it three times.

Mouse hover inputs and ouputs,

to see the description as you think convenient,

your brain will branch like roots,

and begins to rhyme.

Try searching for tutorial pages or videos or finding forum threads/posts that answer your most basic questions.  The "Search Grasshopper" feature in the forum sidebar isn't bad, but I often get better results going directly to Google and including the words "rhino grasshopper" along with the terms I'm searching for.

I don't have 7-Zip or WinZip (and I don't want to install them) so can't see that.  "1 MB" compressed!?  What is it?

"Exploded" view:

Suggestions?

• Define each "board" in this cabinet as a separate box/brep.
• Define one complete drawer and replicate it.
• Define one side and 'Mirror' it.
• In some cases, start with a holed surface and extrude it instead of starting with a box and subtracting holes from it.

Have fun.
