QUESTION
How do I add a corner cabinet to a plan?
ANSWER
Corner cabinets can be created by first selecting a Cabinet tool, then clicking near an interior corner where two perpendicular walls meet. Existing cabinets can be converted to corner cabinets using the specification dialog, and blind corner cabinets can be created using two separate cabinets, then bumping them up next to each other.
To automatically create a corner cabinet
- Select Build> Cabinet
from the menu and choose the Base Cabinet
, Wall Cabinet
, or Full Height
tool.
The Soffit tool can also be used to create corner soffits.
- With your desired Cabinet tool selected, move your cursor into the drawing area, and notice that a cabinet icon
will follow your cursor.
- Position your cursor in a corner where two walls meet and notice that the cabinet preview will change. Click once to place a corner cabinet at that location.

- Using the Select Objects
tool, select the newly placed cabinet, then click the Open Object
edit button.
- On the General panel of the Cabinet Specification dialog that displays:

- Check Diagonal Door if you want to replace the double doors with a single diagonal door.

- Click OK.
To specify an existing cabinet as a corner cabinet
- Click on a standard cabinet to select it and click the Open Object

In this example, the Width is changed to 36", while the Depth remains at 24".
