Place hardware subset components into panel cavities โ€” the tool detects the available space and auto-fits the subset. Select the component type in the component selector.

How to use

  1. Select a subset component in the component selector that opens automatically
  2. Hover over a panel face near an edge โ€” the subset preview fits to the detected cavity
  3. Click to insert the subset at the current position
  4. Type a distance in the VCB to position the subset precisely from the base point along the blue axis

Keys

  • Alt = Toggle snap mode
  • Ctrl = Toggle from bottom/top reference
  • โ†’ = Mirror along red axis
  • โ† = Mirror along green axis
  • โ†‘โ†“ = Mirror along blue axis
  • Esc = Cancel the operation

Tips

  • The component selector opens automatically โ€” choose the subset type before placing
  • Arrow keys flip the subset orientation along each axis
  • Right-click to toggle between centered and free position mode
  • A warning is shown when the host component should be made unique before inserting
