Cabinet insertion


At the bottom of the cabinet insertion window you will see two different options for inserting cabinets: Automatic and Manual.


From left to right:


  1. Automatic insertion: Use the arrows to place a cabinet on the left, right, top or bottom of the reference cabinet. If there is no inserted cabinet yet, this option will not be active. The first element you insert needs to be inserted Manually. Then, it will serve as the default reference cabinet for the next one, which can be inserted Automatically. The reference cabinet can be changed any time with the "Change reference cabinet" icon.

    Free Distance: After inserting the first cabinet in the drawing, the available distance on that wall is automatically updated. It will be updated with each cabinet you place. This information is also available in the "Cabinet insertion" section under the "Free distance" option.
    • Change the Reference Cabinet: As we have seen before, the "Automatic Insertion" function uses the last cabinet inserted as the default reference for placing the next cabinet. However, there are times when you need to insert a cabinet somewhere else. To do so, you can use the "Change Reference" option. This button allows you to select any of the inserted items as your reference. This is handy when you want to place an object in a different area of the room where there is already at least one cabinet placed (your new reference). The Change Reference Cabinet button allows you to select which cabinet is your new reference. Once you do this, you can continue inserting elements in "Automatic mode".
  2. Manual insertion:This option allows you to insert a cabinet anywhere in the room. Two dimensions are shown with the available distances on both sides of the cabinet.

Next to the cursor the message "Push spacebar to release angle or "ESC" to cancel" is shown. Pressing the spacebar on the keyboard, the auto-alignment tool starts, and the cabinet will turn automatically when it is close to a wall or another cabinet. Push the spacebar to fix the angle so that it will not turn any more.

To insert the item, press the left mouse button in the desired position. To cancel the insertion press "ESC".

Multiple: To be used only with manual insertion, it allows you to make multiple insertions of the same item without going back to the cabinet insertion window.

  1. Other insertions: A click on this button will bring you to the placement options shown below:



Option 1: Insertion of L-Shape cabinet between two not perpendicular walls (the angle of the cabinet will be automatically adjusted).

Option 2: Insert island cabinet at a specified distance from two walls.

Option 3: Insert cabinet centered on the selected wall.

Option 4: Insert cabinet centered on selected window.

Option 5: Inserts cabinet centered on selected cabinet.

Option 6: Same as Option 5 but aligned at the front.
