CABINETRY
ELEVATION COMMANDS
Tired of drawing cabinetry elevations from scratch? We have some tools that
can help. Each of the cabinetry elevation commands creates cabinetry blocks on
the fly so you can create cabinets of any size and are not limited to “what's in
the block library”. The blocks can be inserted manually or by projecting the
cabinetry location from your floor plan. Don’t like the way our cabinets look?
Change them, the appearance and common dimensions of the cabinetry are
customizable. The three cabinetry command dialogs are shown here:
BASECABS is a command to
draw base cabinetry in elevation
BASEDRAWERS is a command
to draw base cabinetry consisting of just drawers.
UPPERCABS draws upper
cabinets and can draw range hoods and microwaves if desired.
Commands
Included:
Inserting the Cabinetry
Take a quick look at the preview window to make sure it shows the type of
cabinet you want. When all of the values in the dialog are to your liking press
 .
You will be
prompted to:
Select insert point (on baseline) or <Enter> to pick on plan and project to
baseline:
You may enter a point on the baseline (floor line)
where you want to place the cabinet or you can press <Enter> or
<Space> and select a point on the left side of the cabinet in plan and
project that point to your baseline.
[Select insert point (on baseline)]
Select the point that is to be the bottom left corner of the cabinet.
--The cabinet is inserted--
[Press <Enter> to pick on plan and project
to baseline]
The theory behind this is simple, you have a plan that you are using to
project into the elevation so that everything lines up.
In this example we want to start with the base cabinet in plan and
project it perpendicular to our baseline (the floor) in elevation as shown
above.
Select point at left side of cabinet in plan:
Select the point. For this example we have used an endpoint object snap
to help locate the point.
Select baseline (ground line) of elevation:
Select the line. Don't worry about selecting near where the cabinetry
will go, you may select anywhere on the line.
--The cabinet is inserted--
Customizing the Cabinetry:
Our cabinetry commands are designed for speed not glamour. The options for
cabinetry appearance are shown below.
Note: The door and drawer fronts are a
1x1 unevenly scaled block that if redefined can change the look of the
cabinetry doors and drawers.
