OH the joy of discovery! I do this often, no published plans, a few simple drawings, maybe an overall measurement or two from which to fit everything inside; think it through while driving on straight flat roads for half an hour, go to sleep going over measurements in my head and then suddenly sitting up as an adjustment to allow for kerf or wider slide as you mentioned.
IF wood magazines have to do corrections on featured article measurements regularly, we shouldn't feel bad about needed and unplanned adjustments either.
I discovered that I had to make jigs to install the slides properly. Ah, learning curve. This is also the first furniture carcass I've designed completely on my own with no published plans to work from. I'm working from just the picture I posted in the first post of this thread. When I get the slides installed, I'll post a picture.
