This is Part 2 of Phill Anton's PAC Closet Library corner-section walkthrough in Mozaik. It covers the corner section's editable Parameters — corner radius, corner margin, and the per-section depths (driven by the library's 32 mm system) — then how to build the interior with a fixed shelf, a closet rod, and a hanging panel. It also shows trimming a panel by ToeH so it clears the baseboard while staying aligned to the line-bore holes.
Where do the corner-section parameters live in Mozaik?
Open the section (edit section), then go into Parameters. The corner section exposes several editable values: corner radius, corner margin, and the per-section depths (shown in inches with their millimeter equivalents).
What does the corner radius do, and how big should it be?
The corner radius rounds the front edge of the corner part. Phill's reasons:
- It lets you band the edge with a Festool contour edge bander — keep the radius at least about 60 mm for the tool to work.
- A curved edge is also easier to hand-band than trimming two straight pieces and butt-jointing them.
- It works with curved LED panels that PAC offers.
What is the corner margin?
The corner margin is the little notch discussed in Part 1. It can be made larger or smaller. Phill would keep it at about 1/4 inch: most people cut these parts with at least a 3/8" or 1/2" compression bit, which fits within that boundary.
How do you change a corner section's depth?
The two depth fields are very important and are derived from the library's 32 mm depth setup, which is why they read as odd inch values with millimeter equivalents. To re-depth a section:
- In Parameters, read the value Mozaik shows (you can copy it) — this answers "what number do I put in?".
- Type your target depth. In the demo, Phill set the left section to 19 in, then edited a panel that needed to be deeper to 20 in so the panels line up.
- This only matters when a particular panel needs to be a little deeper than its neighbor.
Shared-panel caution: with a shared-panel system you would never directly connect mismatched depths (e.g. a 14 to a 20). Instead, leave room, drop in a matching (14) panel, then close the gap.
Why are legs off and the baseboard notch removed on these sections?
Because of how PAC's islands are set up, legs must be turned off for all sections in this configuration. The demo also removes the baseboard notch on the section.
How do you shorten a panel so it clears the baseboard without breaking line boring?
If a panel would hit the baseboard (forcing installers to cut it on site), trim it in the Shape tab so it still works with the line-boring system and hole distances:
- Go to the Shape tab and click the line for the right end of the panel; choose adjust side.
- On the bottom edge, bring it up by the amount of the toe: open the calculator and enter
0 - ToeH, then OK. The bottom edge rises by the toe height. - Using ToeH matters because it keeps the panel directly aligned with the line bore — the holes stay lined up top and bottom so you can still attach the bottom to the wall panel without install problems.
- If this will be your norm, save to library so the change applies automatically each time you bring the section out.
How do you build the corner-section interior (fixed shelf + closet rod + hanging panel)?
On a 96-inch section, Phill's interior build:
- Clear the interior so you start clean (you won't always just want shelves).
- Add a fixed shelf up top and drag it to about 9.5 inches (or the equivalent for your job).
- Horizontal split below it and add a closet rod.
- Make sure the closet rod lines up with the hanging panel — that's the look you want for the corner section.
With the PAC library, it doesn't matter whether the closet rod runs left-to-right or right-to-left for line bore, because the rods always land on the line-bore holes. It does matter if you're doing custom bore — then the orientation must be accurate or you won't get your closet-rod holes. (On install it's not fatal — someone can drill their own — but PAC prefers to set installers up for success with the right lines.)
Why does the closet rod face the wrong way on the LEFT corner section?
A quirk to know: when you pull in the left section and add a closet rod, the rod runs front-to-back instead of left-to-right (you can see in the Shape tab that the curved edge is the front face). Visually you can usually get away with it — but it's wrong for custom bore. The fix is not in this video: Phill defers it to Part 3, using a product in the miscellaneous section.

FAQ
How do you change the depth of a corner section in the PAC Closet Library?
Open the section, go to Parameters, and edit the section-depth fields (shown in both inches and millimeters, derived from the library's 32 mm depth). Copy the value Mozaik shows and type your target, e.g. set the left section to 19 in or 20 in so the panels line up. With a shared-panel system, don't connect mismatched depths directly (e.g. a 14 to a 20) — leave room, add a matching panel, then close the gap.
What does the corner radius parameter do in a PAC corner section?
The corner radius rounds the front edge so it can be banded with a Festool contour edge bander (keep the radius at least about 60 mm) and works with curved LED panels. It also makes the part easier to hand-band than butt-jointing two straight pieces.
