  • Door and Drawer Handle
  • Kick Base

image

Kitchen Sizes

Kitchen vertical sizes can be modified here.

The height between bench and wall cabinet depends on the cabinet box and other heights

image

Kitchen Materials

Materials are separated between Base and Wall cabinets. Tall Cabs Use Base Materials will apply the base material to all cabinets and fronts that have the full depth (60cm or 24 inches)

The Crown can either use the front or box materials based on Crown Use Front Material

Cabinet Materials are based on a 100 cm UV scale.

Materials for the Bench are World Tiling because the bench is constructed from multiple meshes. The Stone folder has many material options that can be used.

Splash backs can use Materials from the Stone folder.

The Tiles folder has additional world tiling materials to be used for the splash backs. The tiles can be moved with UV- Offset. A value of 5.0 in W will move the tiles 5 cm or 2 inches up.

image

Corner Element, Panels, Bench Overhang

Corners can only be added to the right side after the last regular module. Use two kitchen blueprints to create an L-shaped layout. Right Side Bench or Corner has two options for corner cabinets.

Both sides of the kitchen can have a bench Overhang. It is good practice to keep a 2 cm gap between the cabinets and the walls on the side.

The splash back can wrap around from the back to the front along the the building wall.

The bench can wrap down to the floor on the first and last module, or Side Panels can be added, including large panels to cover the fridge.
