Create a Room or Building For Your Kitchen
To begin, you'll need to
create room walls to match your kitchen size. If you're only doing the
kitchen and not the rest of the house click
here. If you're creating a kitchen in one room of your house then
you'll need to read Quick Introduction.
Add Cabinets and Countertops
Plan3D comes with a large
assortment of cabinets for your kitchen projects. See Cabinet
Design for detailed instructions on how to add cabinets, countertops,
back-splashes, sinks and faucets to your kitchens.
Wall cabinets are dragged on to walls. Base cabinets
are dragged onto the floor.
Videos: See kitchens
being designed and assembled in these movies.
Convert
Wall Cabinets to Free-Standing: If you want on-wall cabinets (or
any other on-wall or in-wall or other 'Must Attach' objects) to be free
standing, drag them in while holding in the shift and underscore "_"
keys. This will allow it to be moved around like other free standing objects.
Sizes: Plan3D's
cabinets come in most standard sizes. However, you are free to change
the size of any cabinet by right-clicking it and choosing "Set Dimensions".
See Cabinet Design for
more information.
Add Appliances
There are a number of appliances
in the directory for your kitchens:
Stoves and ovens come both as separate
appliances and as part of cabinets.
Cooktops may be dropped in from the
directory and placed on countertops.
Refrigerators and Freezers of all types
and sizes may be obtained from the directory.
Dishwashers come as stand-alone units
and as cabinet based units.
There are plenty of other
kitchen accessories like toasters, spoons, pots and pans, knife blocks
and so on to finish your designs.
