Step 4: Creating the Upper Muntined Doors
Goal : To produce the detailed design of the upper muntined doors includ-
ing the angled muntins and accommodating the glass inserts.
Inputs : Overall front and side views provided in the reference topic.
Tool : SketchUp.
Upper muntined doors comprise standard eighteenth-century-configured
stiles and rails. These are connected through tenons. Also, a 3/16” bead is
milled into the inner edges of stiles and rails. These beads are mitered at the
corners. I started designing the SketchUp model with the construction of the
stiles and rails as shown in the following illustrations (Figures 8.13, 8.14). The
beads are created in SketchUp using the Push/Pull tool, and the miters are
made by introducing an oversized surface plane at a 45° angle at the location
of the miter joint. Then, using the Intersection with Model feature, the bead is
cut with a miter joint.
