Upper cabinet type:
Entering 1 in this box will plan upper cabinets with the top and bottom of equal lengths. If you set scribe
to a side of the cabinet, the program will only shorten the box by that amount.
Entering 2 will run the bottom through on sides with scribe applied to them and shorten that sides
length by the amount of the bottom rail minus the bottom lip size.
Bottom lip:
The size you enter in this box is the amount that the bottom rail sticks up above the bottom of the
cabinet. The size entered in this box on the upper cabinet standards windows will be applied to all
upper cabinets. The size entered in this box on the base cabinet standards window will be applied to all
base cabinets, vanities, and tall cabinets.
Deduct for partition height:
This setting will let you adjust the height of base cabinet partitions to allow for stretchers to run above
them without having to cut a notch for them.

normally.
Inset Back Depth:
Entering Zero in this box will make the program deduct the thickness of the backs from the side, tops,

Adding hardware:
To add hardware to the elevation view of the cabinets a few standards must first be set.
In the Set All Other Standards window enter the Knob diameter, Pull size and length and whether you
want knobs or pulls on the doors and drawers. The Pull size is the diameter of the pull.
In each of the Upper, Base and Tall standards windows, enter the location the hardware should be
placed on the doors. This can be individually adjusted for each cabinet.
The cabinet editing window has a Door Hardware button for cabinets with doors. Clicking this button will
open another window where you can change the locations for the hardware if needed. In this window
you can change from a knob, pull or no hardware. For each level of doors you can set whether the
hardware is on the top, middle or bottom. When the cabinet is set to have one door per opening there
will be two boxes for each door to specify putting the hardware on the left or right side of the door. If the
opening is set for two doors the hardware will automatically put on the inner sides of the doors.
Drawer hardware can be changed from a knob, pull or no hardware in the cabinet editing window. The
drawer hardware is applied to the center of all drawers. It is not applied to false fronts with the exception
of the sink base to allow for tipout trays.
