Making sense of the plan dimension’s

[mdhecht1]

I am lengthening the main section and did that fine but I’m trying to understand the width dimension, it doesn’t add up. For the main section the loaded width of the standard bar says 23.5 inches. I can’t find that measurement on the printed plan on page 8 of EHBP-04 L-shaped wet bar. I see the measurement of 23.5 in at the keg box width but the main section has a width of 34.58 in for it but the modification section will only let me go up to 30 in. I don’t understand, can someone help me?

I’ll take a stab at this one…
First, what is the purpose of increasing the main bar section width? Do you need to fit some equipment in that space?

My guess is that nobody has ever tried increasing the width so, at first glance, it looks like 23.5 should be 28.5.
99.9% of builders use this tool to lengthen or shorten a section. Can’t say I’ve ever tried modifying the width, but maybe the original designer can weigh in on this.
My guess is that the width of that section is not really advised, especially since it has a 30″ limit. Any modification beyond that and you would just use the red highlighted changed parts and extend at will.

I use this tool for custom bars projects I build for clients, but always use it as a guide, not the final word.
In a lot of cases, I see the sheeting does not change, but if that is the case, you just measure against the frame you have modified.
Again, I use it as a guide.

Hope that helps a bit.

I don’t want to increase the width. It just looks like what populates for the standard width is too small. If you say that it will be fine, I’ll take your word for it. I tried adding up the dimensions and they didn’t add up.

Measure twice, cut once.
Even when working with plans, and especially when modifying those plans, it’s best to visualize the whole project to be sure the end result sizes make sense.
