3. COMMON ELEMENTS OF KITCHEN UNITS

Kitchen units - the main families of the set from which the kitchen is made.

In this chapter you will learn what elements units consist of and how to use them.

Common elements

Common elements - elements that are repeated in each kitchen unit.

The common elements of all kitchen units are:

• Doors

• Handles

• Legs

• Opening

• Frame

• Back (part of the frame)

• Left End (part of the frame)

• Right End (part of the frame)

Doors

Doors types can be selected in the drop-down list for each unit family. It is:

• None

• Standart (STD.)

• Frame inside (FR.Inside)

• Frame outside  (FR.Outside)

• Integrated up (INT.Up)

• Integrated left (INT.LH)

• Integrated right (INT.RH)

• Integrated down (INT.Down)

Handles

Handles type

Handles types can be selected in the drop-down list for each unit family. It is:

• None

• D-shape

• Built-in

• Round

• Т-bar

For built-in handles you need to set the Handle.Offset = 2mm so that it moves to the edge of the door.

The T-bar display changes with different handle lengths (Handle.Length).

Handles position

The placement of handles is not made by a drop-down list, but simply by numbers from 1 to 9. Visually, this is similar to the placement of numbers from a keyboard. You can also look at the tooltip in the H.Position parameter itself.

The position of the handles can be horizontal or vertical. The Handle.Horizontal parameter is responsible for this.

Opening

Opening types can be selected in the drop-down list for each unit family. It is:

• None

• Left (LH)

• Right (RH)

• Down

• Up

• Drawer

• Double

• Left slide (LH Slide)

• Right slide (RH Slide)

• Double slide

• Lift up

• Lift oblique

• Folder

• 2 drawers

Doors opening does not depend on the handles position.

To turn on Opening RU or ENG, you need to go to View Visibility and then to Furniture.

End

Left end (LH) and Right end (RH) are present in all frames and can be turned off if necessary. But they are on by default.

LH.End, R.End - add an additional panel to the side and cover the end of the door.

In units that are installed on the floor, additional parameters are added to the ends. These are: LH.Floor-standing, RH.Floor-standing (which allows the ends to be lowered to the floor) and LH.End, RH.End.

4. FAMILIES: PARAMETERS AND ELEMENTS

Base unit

Base unit is used to build kitchen cabinets, which are placed on the floor and serve as a work surface for cooking.

Here you can on/off the following elements:

• Worktop

• Handles

• Doors

• Frame

• Back

• Legs

• Gola

• different options for the End, which were mentioned previously

There is also Equipment:

• Hob

• Sink (and Fauset automatically ON)

• Equipment in the Door

Family types

Family types are named by the number of doors in the unit:

• х1

• х2

• х3

• х4

The numbers of the doors go in order from bottom to top, where D1 is the lower door, and D4 is the upper door.

To change the number of doors in the Base unit, you need to select the appropriate family type, and not instance parameters. If there is one door, then choose x1. If there are two doors - x2. And so on up to four doors, this is the maximum value in this family.

Dimensions

Width, Depth, Height of the unit are the dimensions of the frame. Door thickness, Worktop thickness, Plinth - individual parameters.

Worktop depth in the top view has a fixed value and consists of the dimensions: Depth + Door thickness + 5mm.

There are gray parameters that cannot be controlled. But they are needed to understand the size calculations. For example, Worktop height. The parameter summarizes all heights and shows the important end point of the worktop when Worktop is enabled. (see pictures)

Due to the fact that there are 4 family types in the family, which means there are 4 doors; you can change individual parameters specifically for each.

If family type x1 is selected, then we change all the parameters with the number 1: D1.Height (in x1 it is equal to the height of the frame), E1.Type, E1.Closed, D1.Type, D1.Opening, H1.Position. If x2 is selected, then we change all parameters with numbers 1 and 2.

It is better to start building D.Height from the lower, first door. Because D.Height of the last, upper door does not work.

For example, family type x3 is selected, D1.Height and D2.Height will be changeable, and D3.Height is calculated based on the first two heights.

If D.Height is more than frame Height, there will be an error. If this happens, simply go back and put smaller values in D.Height.

Hob

Hob types can be selected in the drop-down list. It is:

• 300 (2 burner)

• 450 (3 burner)

• 580 (4 burner)

• 880 (6 burner)

Be sure to choose types with the initial heading INT 02 Hob. Because various other families are loaded into the drop-down lists and do not need to be selected.

Sink

There are two types of Sink, which are selected in the drop-down list. It is:

• Topmount

• Undermount

Be sure to choose types with the initial heading INT 02 Sink. Because various other families are loaded into the drop-down lists and do not need to be selected.

Kitchen faucet to the Sink: 

• height 360

• height 450 

Be sure to choose types with the initial heading INT 02 Kitchen faucet.

The Sink and Hob on the worktop can be moved to the left or to the right of the central axis. 

There is also a parameter for the sink - Sink width.

If the configuration of these elements does not suit you, turn them off and place a separate family in the project.

Gola

Gola can be placed on top of the frame, under the worktop - this is Gola 1. And the Gola 2 handle will be between the drawers in the center of the frame. The height of the frame can be higher/lower, but the height of the individual doors in this case changes equally, Gola 2 is always in the center.

Equipment

Equipment can be installed in place of the door. To do this, you need to select the door number and equipment type from the drop-down list.
