Cabinet making in 3D

Draw a real 1000 × 2100 × 600 wardrobe the way a workshop cuts it: the box, the back and plinth, shelves that fit, doors with the right gaps, and a filler scribed to a wall that isn't straight.

For carpenters, joiners, kitchen fitters and anyone who wants to plan furniture properly.
