Added Undo

 Undo and redo have now been added to CabinetFree.com. Use the buttons at the top right or use Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z.



Site load time improvement

 CabinetFree.com should now load faster. The size of the site is about half of what it was. It was 1.95MB now it's 0.858MB.

Added Dimensioning

    I have added dimensioning to CabinetFree.com. This will only work with newly added items. To turn it on click the Show/Hide Layers button then check Show Dimensions. In a few weeks it will be checked by default.

Fixed an issue on mobile

I fixed an issue that was happening on small touch screens like phones. When moving an item it wouldn't follow your touch location if the screen was scroll over. It seems to be working now. Although this site wasn't really made with phones in mind.

Highlight parts as you cut them

 It's easy to see at a glance what you haven't cut yet. If you only cut one of two parts in a cell highlight only half of the cell.



New cabinet: Stacked Upper

 I just added a new upper cabinet; a stacked upper. Here's an example with a single glass door up top and a pair of doors in the bottom section.

Best performance

 To get the best performance use Google's Chromium browser. 

It's the browser that is the base for Microsoft's Edge browser and Google's Chrome browser as well other browsers like Brave.

Download Chromium

But for everything else I'd recommend FireFox.
