Planning furniture quickly and accurately, presenting plans to the client and making out orders are nowadays all part of the daily routine for cabinet-makers and interior fitters. SelectionProfessional from Hettich FurnTech assists you in every step in this process. The program provides the documentation required for successful sales talks, customer presentations and furniture production. SelectionProfessional is a joint development by Hettich FurnTech GmbH & Co. KG and imos AG. This high-performance, computer-aided furniture design package has been created on the basis of the familiar AutoCAD system from Autodesk. 1.2 System requirements PC Intel Pentium 4 AMD Athlon = 2,2 GHz (3,0 GHz Windows VISTA / 7) Intel / AMD Dual Core = 1,6 GHz (2,0 GHz Windows VISTA / 7) Windows operating system Computer data storage Graphics card Hard disk capacity Drive Internet browser Adobe Reader Windows XP (SP 3) / VISTA / Windows 7 (32/64bit) Windows XP: 1 GB RAM Windows VISTA & 7: 2 GB RAM 128 MB (True Color), OpenGL - capable, Direct3D capable Screen resolution 1024 x GB (for custom setup) 5,5 GB (for complete setup) DVD-ROM Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 (or higher), Mozilla Firefox 6.0 or higher SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 7 / 144

8 1.3 Innovations in SelectionProfessional 2.1 Handbook SelectionProfessional In this update, special attention has been given to the compatibility of 64-bit systems and the integration of the new products. Installation Catalogue Designer Fully compatible with 32 and 64-bit systems - Current product contents, e.g the platform concepts of the ArciTech and InnoTech drawer systems, also the TopLine M and TopLine L sliding door systems - New cabinet library: with ArciTech and InnoTech drawer systems 1.4 Help / Infoline SelectionProfessional provides you with an extensive help system: 1. Manual In addition to the main handbook, further handbooks on special topics are also available. SelectionProf_Installation_EN.PDF SelectionProf_Catalogue_EN.PDF SelectionProf_Training exercises_en.pdf SelectionProf_Library_EN.PDF The handbooks are present in the Selection/info/help/eng folder. You can also get started from the Assistant construction details of the designer or through with the symbol Help. 2. On-line help in the program You can select to get help on any particular part of the program you happen to be working in. The Assistants provide additional information as well as a "Help" link. You will also find further information in the program menu under "Help". 3. Internet Log on to for all the latest information, news, tips & tricks and fast answers to FAQs about SelectionProfessional. 8 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

9 In addition, you will be informed about the latest updates. The manuals and further PDF documentation are constantly updated here as well. This is where you will also find the links for downloading the Internet Explorer or Adobe Acrobat programs you will need. 4. Info line Hettich also operates an info line to provide help with any unanswered questions you may have. Tel.: +44 (0) Fax: +44 (0) Internet: Installation / Activation The program should be activated after installation. Activation should be carried out within 90 days. After that the designer component can no longer be used. However the registration can be implemented after 90 days. A detailed introduction for installation and activation is available in the help document SelectionProf_Installation_EN.PDF. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 9 / 144

10 2. First steps 2.1 Starting SelectionProfessional The programm can be started from the desktop icon Start/Programmes/Selection/SelectionProfessional. or by selecting The SelectionProfessional portal opens once the program has been started. SelectionProfessional is divided into several parts: 1) Start design component Designer & Hettich catalogue 2) Start design component Designer 3) Start Hettich catalogue 2.2 Program components 1) Start design component Designer & Hettich catalogue With this option, the designer, the CAD component and the catalogue in background would be started. This is immediately available by accessing favourites in the catalogue and does not need to be started anymore. 2) Start design component Designer Here only the Designer + CAD component would be started. If the catalogue is required only for a favourite query then it can be started later. The advantage lies in the quick start and lesser consumption of the required system resources. 3) Start Hettich catalogue Here only the Hettich catalogue would be started. Please do not close any of these points while working with the program. 10 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

11 2.3 Example design Starting and selecting a design Once you have started the Designer from the start portal, you will see "Design Assistant". The "New construction" option takes us to the construction selection window. The basic types of the furniture you are going to design are shown in the construction selection window. Selecting a "+" sign opens an option, "-" closes it again. For the example design, let us select a "Standard cabinet / Single cabinet / Overlay". The relevant dialog is opened at the bottom right by selecting "Carcase size". SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 11 / 144

12 Change the height to 820 (figures are always in mm, the unit of measure does not need to be entered), width to 900. Entered values do not have to be saved or confirmed by pressing Enter. You can switch between the different input fields using the mouse. Now select the "Bottom shelf" and enter the "120" in the "Height offset" field. This raises the base by 120mm, with the sides continuing through to the floor. The forward button takes you to the carcase division window Carcase division The cabinet is displayed from the front and from the side. The Assistant shows all parts that can be incorporated into the cabinet. 12 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

13 Insert centre panel For the example design, let us use the "Insert centre panel" function to add the centre panel. A new dialogue window opens at the bottom right. The position of the centre panel is defined in the "Division" field. The position is set to 600mm from the left by entering "600mm:1". The 600mm relate to the clear internal width. The mm must always be included for divisioning. Division is the only field that demands the "mm" unit of measure. The "1" represents a ratio and indicates the remaining available space. Details on using the division function are also provided in the section headed "Front and component divisioning". The green ticks are used for confirming the entries you make and for inserting the centre panel. Setting zones As the next step, we are going to add a shelf. A so-called "Zone" must be activated so that the system knows which side to fit the shelf on. This is done by clicking the mouse inside the appropriate section of the cabinet. As we are going to put a shelf in the left-hand section / zone, this is the zone you must click the mouse in. It is highlighted in green. Details on the subject of zones and parts are provided in the section headed "Zones and parts". SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 13 / 144

14 Inserting shelves Select the "Insert shelf" function from the Assistant. A new dialog window now opens at the bottom right. We are now going to space three shelves apart at equal distances throughout the zone. To do this, enter or select the number "3" from the menu. This corresponds to a spacing of "1:1:1:1". As before, the entry is confirmed with the green tick. Inserting doors As the next step, we are going to add the doors. To do this, you must once again activate the left-hand zone with the mouse so that it is displayed in green. Select "Insert doors" from the Assistant. The dialogue window opens. Select "Standard door" as the door type. Select the "+" sign to obtain further details on this door type. Two further options are opened: "Division" and "Hinge". In "Division", select "Double door" from the "Construction type" field. Options can be selected by clicking the arrow to the right of the field. Finally, confirm your entries with the green tick. Inserting drawers Now click on the right-hand zone, which is still blank, to activate it. This zone is then displayed in green. From the Assistant, select "Insert drawers". The relevant dialogue opens. You can choose from a variety of drawer types. In our example, we are going to select a "Woodbox with internal drawer". This drawer is to be mounted on a "Quadro runner". This option must, therefore, be selected too. Use the "+" sign to select the "Division" option. Select three for "Number". The fronts are distributed evenly throughout the height. Entries are confirmed with the green tick. 14 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

15 Inserting handles To insert handles, you must switch from zone mode (green) to the component mode (red). This is done using the zone/component mode symbol. After changing modes, the small front view turns from green to red. Using the mouse, select the door fronts which are then displayed in red. Now select the "Select knobs/handles function from the Assistant. A new dialogue opens. The entire ProDecor product range is stored in the program. In order to make a selection in advance at this stage, let us choose a "Drilling distance" of "128" and "Stainless steel" as the "Material". Define the "Insertion point" as "Top opposite hinge". As before, confirm all entries with the green tick. Using the mouse, now select the drawer front. This also turns red. Once again, select the "Select knobs/handles" option. The dialogue opens. The drilling distance and the materials can be accepted. Set the "Insertion point" to "Centered". These entries, too, must be confirmed with the green tick. The finished cabinet is displayed from the front and side. This completes the cabinet design process. Use the "forward button" carcase divisioning section. to quit the SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 15 / 144

16 2.3.3 Article list / Catalogue selection The top right-hand section of the next window displays all of the fitting groups required for the carcase in the "Article list" (1). There are two ways of assigning exact fittings to these fitting groups: 1) Selecting from Favourites 2) Selecting from the Hettich catalogue In order to select a fitting from the favorites, a fittings group is initially typed into the item list (2). Thereafter, the probable favorites-sets for this selection appear towards the bottom right in the list of favorites (3). A favorites-set consists of a favorites-header and one or more Hettich fittings. For e.g., for the concealed hinges fittings group, the Intermat 9943 TH FIX hinge is offered with a suitable mounting plate. By typing the favorites into the selection below the corresponding fittings set is assigned above the fittings group (4). If you wish to select a fitting from the full-length Hettich catalogue, select the "Use catalogue selection" option instead of the Favourite (5). The relevant fitting group is then selected from the catalogue. 16 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

17 For example, the following selection is carried out: Pos. 1 Pos. 2 Pos. 3 Cup hinge > Favourite > Intermat 9943 TH Fix Cup hinge > Favourite > Intermat 9943 TH Fix Knobs and handles > Use catalogue Pos. 8 Quadro runner > Favourite > Quadro V6/550 Pos. 11 Adjustable shelf > Favourite > Compartment shelf support for wooden shelves To position the fittings group handles and knobs on Use catalogue selection, the entry should be initially selected with the help of the mouse in the item list. Subsequently the entry Use catalogue selection is selected in favorites. The catalgue start is executed with the green check mark. The program opens the electronic Hettich catalogue and searches for suitable products under the handles and knobs fittings group. The catalogue now displays all handles that match the previously defined properties (material + drilling distance). SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 17 / 144

18 Three symbols appear in front of the list: Select accessories Transfer to CAD Detailed information Select accessories The accessories that are available for the main article are selected by clicking the accessories symbol. A list of accessories shows all possible accessory types. If an accessory is an article that is essential for the design, a red exclamation mark is set in front of the relevant group. If you don't select an essential accessory article, the program automatically prompts you to do so. Transfer to CAD If you wish to select an article from the product list for the design, select the CAD symbol. Add the relevant article to the article list. Detailed information If you require additional information on the product, click the "Detailed information" button to retrieve further details. From the detailed overview, you can also display the accessory or transfer the article to the Designer. In our example, we are going to select any random handle and click the Designer transfer button. The program automatically adds the handle to the article selection list. For the next item of furniture you design, there is no need to select the handle again but retrieve it directly from Favourites. The article list changes its colour from black to green. This completes the article selection process. The item selection is thus complete and the entry of the item list is fixed. If the selection for this entry is changed, it has to be selected in the item list using the right mouse click. At the end it can again be released using change. One can leave the item selection using the forward arrow. 18 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

19 The finished cabinet is displayed in 3D. You can now carry out a number of actions on the cabinet AutoCAD display The CAD / Roomplan function in the Assistant allows you to switch to the AutoCAD module. The cabinet is displayed in a wire grid 3D perspective. Component dimensioning is the most important function in the AutoCAD section of the program. Let us dimension the left outer side of the carcase automatically. To do this, change to the top view using the symbol. This is opened by clicking the "Dimension part" symbol (left). The cursor changes into a rectangle. Using the rectangular cursor, now select the outer side. It is important to select precisely the line that represents the outer side. The component is automatically displayed with dimensions. It can be printed out or saved in the 2D view. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 19 / 144

20 The "Dimension part" symbol enables you to perform further dimensioning. Quit the dimensioning mode by clicking the "Reverse dimensioning" symbol (right). Click the "Switch to Designer button in the Assistant to quit the AutoCAD part of the program and return to the Designer in the 3D view. Nothing needs to be saved in the AutoCAD part as this is all controlled through the Designer part. 20 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

21 3. Designer - Functional description 3.1 Screen layout The Designer screen is divided into several sections that are repeated at all design stages. 1) Progress bar The Designer is divided into 4 sections that run through in succession.

22 The section activated is shown by a red line below the relevant image. 2) Assistant Handbook SelectionProfessional The Assistants guide you through the program and display the range of functions that are available. They also provide helpful tips on the application concerned. You can get additional information by selecting "Help". Upload standard settings Uploads standard Designer settings. Modified values are reset to original values again. Open Opens an existing design. You are given the possibility of saving the active design. CAD/Roomplan This option is used for opening the AutoCAD part of the program. This must be done, for example, to dimension the design or to start Roomplan. All details of the AutoCAD functions are explained later on in the manual. End Designer Closes the Designer as well as the AutoCAD and AutoCAD Renderer parts of the program. Alternatively, you can also close the program by selecting the "File/Exit" menu options. The program should always be closed from the Designer and not from other parts, such as the AutoCAD part. Help Retrieves help on the Assistant. The handbooks can be started from the overview. 3) Section change The forward button can be used to change from one segment to the next. Use the backward button to return to the previous view. This enables to move backwards and forwards at any time and is particularly useful, for instance, if you wish to make an alteration. 4) File informations Profile: Shows the current profile name. Name: Name of the cabinet if saved. 22 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

23 5) Menu bar File New: Open: Save: Delete: Creates a new design. Opens a cabinet that has already been designed. Saves a cabinet currently being designed. This function is only available once you reach the Carcase division part. This is where you can delete saved cabinets.

Export: End: Reads cabinet designs in from other SelectionProfessional users or loads cabinet designs from an external data medium. Exits the Designer and Selection CAD. Profile For some furniture designs it is often necessary to select specific settings. For kitchen base units, for example, it is generally possible to select 16 panel thicknesses, or always use grooved rear panels. All settings (e.g. cabinet height, width, base panel thickness, backset dimensions etc.) that are capable of being altered in the construction selection window can be saved under custom profiles. Load: Save: Delete: Loads an existing profile Saves a profile. All changes made in the construction selection window, from the standard cabinet to custom designs, are saved.

Now it is deactivated again. 2) Action buttons Front view Side view Top view Set standard (useful if everything has been adjusted) Concealed cabinet display Semi-transparent cabinet display Wire grid model 3) Assistant New construction Starts a new design. There are two ways of saving the active design. Save Saves the active design. You can select an existing directory or create a new one. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 27 / 144

28 Change functions Alterations can be made to the cabinet designed in SelectionProfessional. This is done using the following functions: - Change dimensions (e.g. height, panel thickness etc.) - Change divisioning (e.g. add shelves, change doors etc.) - Change fittings (e.g. change handle selected, select another hinge type etc.). You can find details on the different ways of making alterations in the section headed "Altering designs". Hesse Module The cabinet can be displayed in different surfaces with the help of the Hesse Module. In addition, it is possible to switch to display options with the help of the Output tab. 3.5 Zone and components Example of how to select zones Selecting zones and components is an important function within the carcase divisioning section. The cabinet displayed below is to be divided into different sections. So far, the cabinet has had three evenly spaced centre panels. We are now going to add a construction shelf to all four resultant zones. 28 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

29 If you wish to activate several zones, they must be selected in succession. If you have selected the wrong zone, it can be deactivated by selecting it a second time. If several zones were addressed and only one needs to be activated, a double click in the desired zone will deactivate all the other zones again. If the other zones require to be activated, a right mouse click on the point Activat all zones in the menu will activate all cabinet domains simultaneously. You can insert a construction shelf once all zones have been activated (green). The data for the construction shelf now applies equally to all four zones. The construction shelf will be inserted in all four zones. Inserting the construction shelves has formed new zones. The cabinet now has a total of eight zones. Four drawers are now going to be inserted in the top zones. As we want all of the drawers to be the same, they can all be highlighted in one go. The drawers are then selected from the menu and automatically inserted in the zones. It is important to remember that drawers can only be inserted simultaneously if the zones are identical in size. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 29 / 144

30 Loose shelves are now going to be added across all four bottom zones. To do this, you must once again activate all four zones and select the shelves from the Assistant. Unlike construction shelves, loose shelves do not form zones. Now we are going to insert doors in the right and left-hand zone. As this requires the use of a left-hinged and a right-hinged door, they must be selected separately. Highlight the zones individually and insert the appropriate door in each. Let us now insert a double door in the middle. To do this, both zones can be selected simultaneously. After selecting the door function, a double door will be inserted automatically. If you activate several zones, the program automatically tries to insert one door across all zones. If, added together, the zones are wider than 600 mm, a double door will be inserted automatically. 30 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

31 The cabinet is now equipped with all elements. This is the point at which to select the handles for the fronts. To do this, you must click the "Zone mode/component mode" to switch to the component mode (red). First, select all drawer fronts so that all four are displayed in red. Using the "Select/change knobs/handles" function, assign a handle to all drawers. Now highlighted in red, all drawers are fitted with the handles. In the "Insertion point Top opposite hinge" handle setting, the program automatically places the handles in the correct position Changing, deleting, hiding parts Any mistake that is made while configuring the cabinet can be corrected at a later stage. You can also subsequently change any part already inserted. Example of how to change handles In our example, we want to relocate the handles from a centred position to the upper mid-point. To do this, switch to the component mode (red) and select all drawer fronts. Now press the right mouse button and select the "Change knob/handle" option. The handle dialogue opens, allowing you to re-position the insertion point. You could, of course, also have changed other options. Example of how to change the side on which a door is hinged The right-hand door is to be hinged on the left side. To do this, select the door in the component mode and press the right mouse button. From the dialog, select the "Change part" option. The door dialogue opens, allowing you to change the design to "Hinge left". SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 31 / 144

32 Example of how to delete a shelf To delete a component, it must be selected in the component mode. However, you cannot select the shelf directly because the door is in front of it. By pressing the right mouse button, select the "Show front panel" option. After removing the tick, the fronts will be hidden. They are not deleted, but merely no longer visible. Now, in the component mode, you can select the shelf you want to delete. Remember here that if several shelves were inserted together, they will also be deleted together. This is always the case for elements that are inserted simultaneously. Summary The zone selection function (green) is used for selecting cabinet sections for equipping with doors, drawers, shelves etc. Component selection function (red) is used for changing or deleting components already inserted. It is also required for selecting handles. In the component mode, the right mouse button can be used to perform different functions: Activate zones Delete part Change part Change knob/handle Activate all components Activate all fronts Deactivate all components Show front panel Changes over to zone selection. Performs the same action as the zone/component selection button Deletes the component selected with the mouse Opens the dialogue for changing the component concerned Opens the knob/handle dialogue for making the relevant changes Activates all components in the cabinet Activates all fronts on the cabinet Deactivates all previously activated components in the cabinet No fronts are shown once the tick is removed. 32 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

33 The right mouse button is equipped with other functions in the zone mode: Activate component selection Activate all zones Deactivate all zones Switch to component selection. Analogous to the Zones/Components button. Activates all cabinet domains. Deactivates all the activated cabinet domains 3.6 Front and component divisioning A carcase needs to be divided into sections or ratios in many different parts. The drawer front, for example, must be divided up into different height ratios. Centre panels must be spaced apart by internal widths. The hole lines are arranged in relation to depth and height. Cup drillings are positioned in the front. Selection provides one single function for all of these operations: Division. This is used for performing all the necessary functions. Divisioning works with exact dimensions or ratios. These two options can also be combined. "1:1:1" is a division that splits a section into two equal parts. "200mm:200mm:100mm" divides a 500mm section into parts at the distances specified. 200mm:1:1 divides a part in the lower or left section at exactly 200mm, the remainder into two equal halves. With this, partitions are always undertaken from left to right (e.g. centre panels), bottom to top (e.g. drawers) or from front to rear (e.g. hole lines). Below, you will find a number of divisioning examples. They may also be applied to divisioning in other application areas. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 33 / 144

34 Hole-line division A division can be used to position the hole line in terms of depth. Default setting: 37mm:1:37mm The first hole line now starts at 37mm from the front edge of the cabinet side, the second hole line starts at 37mm from the interior of the rear panel. The inclusion of ":1:" shows that the depth of the cabinet is unimportant. Even if the cabinet depth were to change, the dimensions of 37mm from the front and 37mm from the back stay as they are. The ":1:" may be regarded as a variable placeholder. If you wish to insert a third hole line exactly mid-way between the other two hole lines, enter the following division: "37mm:1:1:37mm" Each : is present for a hole line. Top panel / connector divisioning Connectors can be set for the top and bottom panel. The standard setting for "Connector division" is "37mm:1:37mm". This shows that the connection is located exactly on the hole line. By changing the divisioning, you can, for example, insert additional connectors. Centre panel divisioning Through the "Division", a centre panel divides a selected carcase zone from left to right. A 1:1:1:1 divisioning inserts three centre panels. The internal widths between individual panels are identical. 34 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

35 A 300mm:1:1:300mm divisioning inserts three centre panels. The first and last zone have got a clear width of 300mm. Both inner zones are automatically divided equally. Construction shelf divisioning Construction shelves are divided from bottom to top. Once inserted, they form new zones. The reference point for a construction shelf is therefore the bottom shelf or a construction shelf that has already been inserted. For the construction panels the inside height is defined between the bottom panels. A 300mm:200mm:1 divisioning inserts two construction shelves. The inside distance of the bottom construction panel to bottom panel is 300mm and the inside distance between the bottom construction panel and the top construction panel is 200mm. The inside distance between the top construction panel and the top panel is calculated from the remainder. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 35 / 144

36 Drawer divisioning Drawers are divided from bottom to top. Divisioning relates to the dimensions of the front. 1:1:1 2:1:1 300mm:200mm:1 36 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

37 3.7 Item lists and favorites lists After the definition and partitioning of the cabinet is complete, the fittings should be allocated. This is carried out in the item list/favorites list section. In this section the preassembled cabinet is examined on the basis of the available fittings group. Subsequently the potential fittings can be allocated through the favorites list or the catalogue selection of the corresponding fittings group. It is sub divided into item list (1), favorites list (2) and front view of the cabinet (3) Item list All fittings group available in the cabinet are present in the item list (1). In the sample cabinet three complete drawers are fitted with one handle each. This leads to the formation of 3 fittings groups, one group Handles and knobs and 2 groups Three sided drawer system. If fittings groups can be merged together, based on their similarity, then they are grouped, e.g. the fittings group Handles and knobs. For preassembled drawers the top drawer is considerably lower than the remaining two, which is why only the two lower drawers are grouped. The top drawer receives its individual fittings group. In contrast to both the lower drawers, no front pullouts can be fitted into the top drawer. To switch off the grouping the right mouse button is clicked anywhere in the item list. The menu which is opened as a result displays the entry group positioning with a check mark, which means that the grouping is active. The grouping is switched off by clicking on the entry and all fittings groups in the item list are shown individually. To reactivate the grouping, the entry group positioning is clicked again. By switching off the grouping, different fittings can be allocated to the individual fittings groups. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 37 / 144

38 If a fittings group is clicked on in the item list, the corresponding components in the front view of the cabinet (3) are highlighted in red and the first favorites set is automatically selected.

74 Integrated Sliding and Folding Door Constructions Handbook SelectionProfessional The sliding and folding option is directly selected from Assistant Carcase divisioning. First, a standard cabinet (overlay or inset) is defined. After that center panels and construction shelves are used to divide the cabinet and create different zones. In each individual zone, sliding and folding doors can be inserted. Different types of fittings can be used every other zone. One zone can be equiped with doors, another one can be equiped with drawers. A third one could be equiped with a sliding or folding door. The respective zone needs to be marked in green (Zone mode). From the Assistant choose Insert sliding/folding doors. A window opens with the different types of fittings.

79 3.15 Placing Handles on Sliding and Folding Doors Placement Choices Handles and knobs can be placed on sliding and folding doors similarly to drawers and doors. However, there are differences based on the arrangement of the doors Placement of Handles 1) Select the sliding or folding door in the (red) constructive part mode. 2) Choose Select/change knobs/handles from the Assistant. The construction is displayed in the front view. 3) Especially in sliding and folding door constructions with several doors, it is necessary to place the handles on different positions. By default the handles are placed on all selected fronts marked in red. To avoid this, fronts can be selected individually. Process: Initially all fronts are marked in red. To select the handle position only for the left sliding door, click on the middle and right door to unselect them. Subsequently, the handle position will be selected for the left door by choosing middle left for example. Confirm you selection by clicking on the green checkmark. The handles for the remaining doors are placed likewise. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 79 / 144

80 3.16 Kitchen Constructions Construction types A separate kitchen constructions section has been created. These constructions are specifically aimed at the kitchen area, which means for example that all panel dimensions are optimised for a perfect kitchen environment. The kitchen constructions are divided into the sections base cabinet / top unit / tall cabinet. The base unit section is furthermore divided into the areas standard base cabinet and corner cabinet. Dimensional references and design details are furnished in the SelectionProf_Library_EN.PDF handbook Full circle carousel fitting Input / choice in SelectionProfessional Carcase size Mounting situation: Choice of fitting type 750 Arena, 750 Wire, 750 Wire white, 650 Wire white Only the relevant accessories must be chosen from the catalogue, if necessary. Width: Carcase side left / front: Door width: Dimension A Complete external carcase width Dimension B External carcase side depth. These always have the same value. Dimension C The door width is an info field and is calculated from the width of the carcase side left / front. 80 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

81 Construction information: The carcase is made with an 8 mm back panel. The rear back panel is constructed from 16/18/19 top thickness. Base An angled base represents a special situation with regards to base recess. The base recess measurements (from the front) normally relate to a 90 angle between the bottom shelf and the front edge of the base. If the same measurements were used for an angled cabinet as for a normal base cabinet, the two base fronts would not fit together. The program therefore allows for the recess measurement in relation to the carcase side to be specified. The distance in the 90 angle is given as info text. Fitting information Mounting top panel: Mounting bottom panel: Choice of hinge: centre hole (D=5 mm, T=8 mm) + 3 fixing holes 3 fixing holes. To enable better centring and positioning of the revolving plate, a punch point has been provided in the centre of the fitting. There is no need for mounting or drilling at this point. The door construction requires angled hinges (W45). These can be chosen from the catalogue. Corner carousel fitting: The full circle carousel fitting can be chosen from the catalogue. The set already contains two revolving bases so that these do not need to be chosen separately. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 81 / 144

83 Front information Door variants: The doors are available in different construction types: Equal Left short Right short Folding door stop left Folding door stop right Fitting information The options equal, left short and right short are carried out with Intermat hinges ( opening angle). The options Folding door stop left and Folding door stop left are offered in combination with a wide angle hinge and a corner cabinet folding door hinge. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 83 / 144

84 Corner cabinet Revo 45 Input / choice in SelectionProfessional Carcase size Carcase height: The carcase height of the Revo 45 and 90 is not identical with the carcase height of a normal base cabinet. The fronts of the Revo 45/90 rotate inside the carcase when being opened. Both construction types therefore have no top panel. There is a clearance gap between the front and the bottom panel. If a Revo 45/90 cabinet is constructed at the same height as a normal base cabinet, both fronts would be offset at the bottom. The ordinary base cabinet features an overlay on the bottom panel. The front of the Revo 45/90 has a recess to the bottom panel (clearance). A = corner cabinet Revo 90/45; H = 747mm B = normal base cabinet; H = 720mm 1 = bottom panel corner cabinet 2 = bottom panel normal cabinet C = bottom panel overlay Overlay = 16 mm, clearance = 4mm 11 mm = gap between door and bottom panel with Revo 90/45 27 mm = offset value of carcase height, 720 mm + 27 mm = 747 mm 84 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

85 Carcase width: The carcase width and side depth are fixed and cannot be changed. They are in line with ideal fitting values. Front: A straight wooden front is fitted. The stainless steel finish front is not being considered. The front measurements can be fixed depending on side panel thickness. Side thickness panel A - opening width B - door width SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 85 / 144

86 Bottom panel / base The bottom panel is recessed by 40 mm in order to be invisible from the outside. This also allows for the side to be notched. The base is thus offset in relation to the bottom panel by another 10 mm towards the back. A = bottom panel, recessed by the value x1 B = bottom panel, recessed by the value x2 C = door Side notch = 11 mm + bottom panel thickness 86 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

87 Corner cabinet Revo 90 Input / choice in SelectionProfessional Carcase size Mounting situation: There is a choice between the carcase sizes 800*800 and 900*900. Carcase height: Starting basis analogous to Revo 45 Carcase width: Top panel Bottom panel / base The carcase width and side depth are fixed and cannot be changed. They are in line with ideal fitting values. The Revo 90 does not feature a top panel. The construction of recess measurements for bottom panel and base is identical with that for Revo 45. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 87 / 144

88 Semi circle carousel fitting Input / choice in SelectionProfessional Left / right variation The semi circle carousel fitting is available in a left and right version. The two construction types are laterally reversed. The fittings for both versions are identical. Left option Right option Carcase size Mounting situation: Width: Door width: Mounting width: Door opening width: Depth: There is a choice between 850 Arena, 850 Wire and 750 Arena.

89 Correlation between the dimensions A change to the width (dimension A) of the cabinet has implications on the mounting width (dimension C). The door width (dimension B) remains unchanged. A change to the door width (dimension B) has implications on the carcase width (dimension A). The mounting width remains unchanged. Aperture angle Visible angle length 0 = angle length A Visible angle length 90 = angle length B Info post: The post dimension remains constant.

94 4.3.1 Comparison of the individual save functions in SelectionProfessional Saving in Designer File > Export in Designer Create job/project The cabinet that has been created in the Designer is saved. The cabinet is saved in a predefined directory, which can be optionally expanded. The directory path is on C:\Selection\User\CAD (here C:\Selection is the installation directory of SelectionProfessional) To open cabinets on another computer with the help of SelectionProfessional, they have to be exported first. For this the cabinet should not be open in Designer. If the function Export is selected in File menu, the cabinets that have to be exported should be selected first. The second step is to specify a target folder. Any directory can be specified as the target folder. Subsequently the cabinet can be copied into the directory with the File -> Import function. It can be now opened here. The create job / project function is used to save a new spatial planning. All information about this job is stored in a database. File > Export in SelectionCAD To open spaces on another computer with SelectionProfessional, they should be exported first. The room/space should be open. After clicking on the Export function in File menu in SelectionCAD, a target folder is specified. Subsequently the room can be opened on another computer with the File -> Import function in SelectionCAD. In order to open this room in the future with the Load job/project function, it should be first saved with the Save job/project function. 94 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

95 4.3.2 Create job/project New spatial/room planning is saved with the Create job/project function. To create a new job, it is necessary to create a new room situation. Otherwise it will not be possible to create additional information. The dialogue Save job is opened after calling the function. Here the job name (1) and the additional information (2) is entered and saved with the green check mark. Subsequently the job name is saved in the job list (4).

97 4.4 Measuring Dimension part Click Dimension Part to dimension various components of a cabinet (sides, shelves, doors etc.). Clicking the Dimension Part button changes the mouse pointer into a small box. Click the box on the outline of the component (see figure below). The component will then be displayed with its dimensions. To dimension other parts, click the "Dimension Part" button again and select another component. Click the Return to CAD button to finish dimensioning With the Rotate measured item X button and Rotate measured item XY button, the measured components can be rotated. The type of dimensioning can be set under Tools / Dimension Part / Settings. Style Absolute = absolute dimensioning of the bottom left side of the carcase Hole centre to hole centre = relative dimensioning from drill hole to drill hole SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 97 / 144

98 Unit millimetre inch = sets dimensioning to mm units = sets dimensioning to inch units Generate infotext = if this option is activated, information such as slot depths, drill diameters, drilling depths etc. is also shown View dimensioning You can perform your own dimensioning by using the Apply Measure button or align with dimensioning. You can, for example, select the front view of the cabinet and dimension it yourself. To do this, select the function and enter the point where dimensioning is to start. Click on the carcase edge and set the starting point of the dimensioning, then select the point where dimensioning is to end, followed by the position of the measurement line. The program supports you with automatic capture functions. This means that it automatically looks for and finds the end of a line. This is indicated by a small violet square. Once you see this, all you have to do is left-click the mouse and the end point is recognised. With the Continue dimensioning button, it is possible to attach a chain dimensioning to the most recently created dimensioning. With the diameter button, curves and circles can be measured. With the measure button, it is possible to remove a measure from the view, without the creation of a dimensioning. The measured space can be read in the status bar. With the Text button, it is possible to write text information in the view, so that it can be printed along with. 98 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

99 4.4.3 Cabinet views With the help of the menu item View / display details, the view details scale can be set. - Low: Only handles and components are displayed. This accuracy of detail is especially suitable for room planning. - Medium: Components, handles and fittings are displayed without processing. - High: Components, handles and fittings are displayed along with processing. With the help of the View button or the menu option View/designs-, a cabinet display can be selected. Hide edges gives you a partly hidden view of the cabinet. With the 3D area representation, a hidden and colored view of the cabinet is available. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 99 / 144

100 4.5 Printing/plotting In order to understand the following points on the subject of printing/plotting, it is better to implement a cabinet design beforehand. Screen layout Everything that can be displayed on the screen can also be printed. These may include perspective views of a cabinet, dimensioned components (side panels, top panels, bottom panels, etc.) or enlarged sections or room views. Before you print a drawing, it is a good idea to display it on the screen in the way you want to print it. For instance, if you want to print a perspective view of a cabinet, then position the drawing as shown below. The quickest way to arrange a drawing as shown below is by clicking the Full view button. If you only want to print a section of the cabinet, e.g. a corner connection, use the Zoom window button. If the hidden cabinet edges are not to be printed, the Hide edges button or the menu View / hide edges is used so that the invisible edges are deactivated. However if a color printout of the drawing is required, it should be displayed with colored areas. The printout always corresponds to the display on the screen. 100 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

101 Call function Once the drawing is in the ideal position on the screen, click the Plot button or select File / Print from the menu. This opens the Plot window where you can enter all the main print settings. Select printer In the Printer/plotter section (1) the required printer should be specified near the field Name. If this field contains the entry none, the printer can also be selected from the Pull-Down-Menu (2). Paper format: (3) this is where you select the paper format. The size depends on the capabilities of your printer/plotter. Plot area (4): The pull downlist contains the options view, window, limits. Display: Selecting this item prints the screen content exactly as displayed. Window: If this point is selected, you can enter a specific print area (see a later example). Limits: With these points the complete drawing is printed. A previously defined zoom is not considered. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 101 / 144

102 Plot scale: (5) This is where you can enter a scale. Once adjusted the drawing fits the page perfectly. You can also select scales, such as 1:2, 1:4 etc. Plot distance: (6) If the Centre plot option is selected, the position of the drawing on the paper will be optimised in height and width. An entry in x and y produces a side margin of the sizes entered. Preview(7): printout on the paper can be seen beforehand as a preview on the screen. Page setup (8): the settings can be saved under a name in the plot dialog. Click on the add to button and specify a name. 102 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

103 Further options With the button, further options can be opened. Drawing orientation: (9) specifies the paper orientation. Options in the shaded display window (10): Here the degree of shading and quality of the printout can be set. Shading-Plot: Different shadings can be set here. Quality: Different quality levels can be set here. The DPI-value can be set using the User specific option. Plot style table (11): Different plot styles can be selected here. No modifications should be attempted here. Plot options (12): Different options are available here. Plotting in the background: by activating this, the print request will be executed in the background. Plotting with plotting styles: activates the plot style tables. Plot indications: indications like date, design name etc. are defined here and printed along with the design. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 103 / 144

104 Save changes in the layout: Changes that heve been made are saved in the layout. Example 1 You want to print the cabinet previously displayed. Go to the File menu and select the Print command. Select the correct printer from the plotter tab. Then return to the plotter settings (2). Select the appropriate paper format, e.g. A4. Select the Display option. (3) Click the Preview button (7). The picture shows the drawing as it will be printed on paper. Exit this window either by right-clicking the mouse and selecting End from the window, or by pressing the Esc key. To print the drawing, click the OK button in the Plot window (12). Example 2 You can, of course, print individual components as well as whole cabinets. In the following example we want to print one carcase side panel. Click Dimension Part and mark a carcase side panel with the small box. Now you will see a top view of the dimensioned side panel. Click Zoom Start print control as described in example 1. Select the entry Window from the pull down list in the plot area section (4). This will take you back to the design window, where you will see your drawing. Use the mouse to select a section to be printed. Then move the mouse into the top left corner of the drawing and left-click. Then move the mouse to the bottom right corner of the drawing and left-click again. Subsequently the plot dialog box can be seen. This right corner area is the one, that will be printed later. The Window button can be used to define thus area again. If you click on button (7) again, you will receive a display of exactly the same area that you selected before. You can exit this window by a right click of the mouse and select the entry end in the window. To print the drawing, click on OK. 104 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

110 6. Roomplan functions 6.1 Introduction As a planning tool, Roomplan enables you to display cabinets created using Selection in a room situation. Unlike previous 3-D planning systems, the user is guided through the program by ergonomic Assistants. Only a limited amount of prior knowledge of CAD is required. The main functions in Roomplan are: Selection of parametric layouts for walls, 3-D generation of various basic configurations with simple walls, L- and U-walls. Creation of various window and door elements. Adjustment of floors and ceilings. Display of various views, isometry and vanishing point. Possibility to insert cabinet and decorative elements. Creation of work tops, plinth, cornice, front panels and visible sides. 6.2 Starting Roomplan Roomplan is started from the Selection CAD program section. From Designer, the CAD section can be started with the CAD/Roomplan Assistant. Use the Roomplan directory tag to call up the Roomplan Assistant. Always select the New room plan function before starting Roomplan; this produces a blank window. 110 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

111 6.3 Define wall Start the Define wall function. The Roomplan Assistant has various options for settings: 1. Definition of the wall type 2. This is where the size reference for the longitudinal details are set: a) outer side of wall b) middle of wall c) inner side of wall (pre-set) 3. Details of wall height and thickness 4. This is where the wall lengths are given for the respective wall parts. 5. Close wall: The starting and end points for the wall are automatically connected to close the room. Floor: A floor is put in the room. Ceiling: A ceiling is put in the room. 6. Details of wall and ceiling materials 7. Preview of the selected wall type in the appropriate length. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 111 / 144

112 The corresponding surfaces are displayed for material selection. Wall type free wall construction The wall type "free wall construction" is a special feature. It allows the construction of free walls with as many wall segments and angles as desired. Because displaying the wall can become complicated, we advise you change to CAD top view. Select function Define wall and setting Free wall construction and proceed as follows: 1. Select. 2. This displays the AutoCAD window. The mouse pointer changes to a small cross. 3. Define the starting point for the first wall. Simply click the mouse anywhere inside the AutoCAD window (ideally bottom left). 4. There are three ways you can define the wall length and wall end point: a) Determine the wall end, wall angle and wall length with the mouse. A small window will appear to help you; in it you can enter the length and angle. Once you have selected the correct settings, left-click on the mouse and the wall will be drawn. b) You can also define the wall length by entering a number in the command line. For instance, if you enter 2000 then a 2-m long wall will be drawn from the starting point. The angle is determined by the angle currently set. c) Drawing lengths and angles in the right-angled mode : If you want the walls to be right-angled, you can set this by pressing F8 on the keyboard. Press F8 a second time to deactivate it. Now all you have to do is determine the direction of the wall in direction x or y, and you can enter the length of the wall directly. As well as entering wall lengths and directions with the mouse, you can also enter numbers for exact angles. Using the Orth mode, enter the angle using a prefixed < symbol, e.g. <30. This bends the wall 30 degrees to the previous wall. You can then also enter a number to define the length of the diagonal wall. 112 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

113 5. Repeat the procedure with the next wall segment. It is also possible to incorporate curved walls. To do so, enter the letters GE in the command line and press ENTER to confirm. Then use the mouse to select the middle of the circular segment and the end point of the circle. If the next wall is to be straight, enter LI for line and press ENTER to confirm. When you have finished constructing the walls, just press ENTER to end the construction. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 113 / 144

114 6.4 Define windows / doors and openings For windows, doors and openings, the style is chosen first and then the dimensions and reference points. The individual functions are explained here using the doors as an example. They are the same for windows and openings. 1) Select the door style (e.g. windows style, opening style) 2) Select the hinged side 3) Sizes: the width and height define the outer dimensions of the door. The door sill defines the space between the bottom edge of the door and the floor. With double doors, the details for the hinged side are not taken into account. 4) Doors (windows, openings) can be defined by a space to the reference points (end wall segment). 5) With the Position freely option, the position is chosen freely with the mouse. 6) If an opening angle is entered, the door is shown opened by this angle. 114 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

115 Positioning the doors, windows, openings Once the settings have been made, they are confirmed with the green tick. The AutoCAD window appears. Select a wall into which you want to put a door (or window, opening). You must get it right on the line for the wall in question. Depending on whether you click closer to the left or right corner of the wall, the reference point will be seen from this end. 6.5 Modifying windows / doors / openings If you want to make changes to any doors, windows or openings that have already been entered, do so with the Change windows, doors and openings function. Proceed as follows: 1) Once you have chosen the function, highlight the door / window / opening in question. You must click on one of this object s lines. 2) This opens the relevant Assistant (door/window/opening). Make your changes and confirm them with the green tick. 6.6 Deleting windows / doors / openings Windows, doors and openings can be deleted with the Delete part icon on the functions bar. Select the Delete part icon and then click on the components concerned (window etc.). Press ENTER to confirm the deletion. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 115 / 144

116 6.7 Change the wall characteristics With the function change the wall characteristics, the height, thickness, material and alignment of the cabinet wall can be changed. After the function is clicked the cursor becomes a small square. With this square, a line of the concerned wall is clicked. The wall will be displayed as a dotted line. Here multiple walls can also be accessed one after the other. After all the walls to be changed are selected, this selection must be confirmed with a right mouse click or with the Enter key on the keyboard. The dialog edit wall is opened. 1 Changes the wall height 2 Changes the wall thickness 3 Changes the material of the wall 4 Changes the alignment of the wall The settings will be saved by clicking on the green tick and wall characteristics are changed. If the walls require further changes, the command edit wall should be accessed afresh. 116 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

117 6.8 Insert furniture or accessories Select cabinet You can incorporate the cabinets created in SelectionProfessional with function item "5. Insert furniture and decorational elements. You can also access a library that already contains a number of standard cabinets. Selecting this function opens a window. Select the appropriate drawing. When you highlight a file name the corresponding view of the cabinet in question is displayed. Select Open to load the selected cabinet Add furniture to a wall Once you have selected a cabinet from the library, the mouse pointer changes to a small square. Now click on the wall where you wish to stand the furniture. It is important that you click exactly on the wall line. Once you have selected the wall, the carcase is automatically orientated along it. Inserting and positioning cabinets is explained more clearly by the following graphic. Current insertion point of the cabinet (here e.g. bottom /right) The insertion point of the cabinet is defined by clicking on the grey buttons on the outer corners of the displayed cube. The current insertion point is shown in red. The insertion points need to be changed if, for instance, you want to put the bottom right corner of a cabinet in the corner of the room. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 117 / 144

118 In this case, we want the insertion point to be the back bottom right corner of the cabinet. Select this button. The red colour now indicates that it is active. The cabinet is shown as a cube before it is put in its final position, and you can move it along the walls as you wish. Depending on the wall orientation, the cabinet will always adapt to the course of the wall.seen from the top, the cabinet can now be pushed into the corner of the wall. When the left mouse is clicked, it will be moved here. To move a cabinet out of the corner for a blend bar, a value can be entered in the field Distance 2. In our example it is -50mm, to move the cabinet to the left Inserting furniture in an existing object (furniture or decorative object) If a cabinet has already been inserted, then it can be used as a reference object for an additional planned cabinet. The object can then be inserted anywhere to the right/left/front/back, top or bottom of the existing object. 118 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

119 Procedure Select an additional cabinet using the Insert furniture and decorational elements function. Click on the previously inserted cabinet to open a new window. Use the grey alignment quadrats (1) to determine the position of the new cabinet in relation to the existing one. Click on the alignment quadrat to insert the cabinet correspondingly to the right, left, front, rear, bottom or top. Gap1 (2) defines the gap to the existing cabinet. Repeat inserted item (3) permits direct insertion of the same cabinet against an existing one. back-flush) Planning furniture with different depths (front or If, for instance, a wall unit is being fitted, it can be orientated to the tall unit. Procedure: 1. Insert tall unit in Roomplan 2. Select wall unit 3. Select tall unit as reference point 4. Change tab (see illustration left) 5. Drag cabinet to top (1) and rear (2) on the grey quadrat. 6. Select green tick. Cupboard is inserted. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 119 / 144

120 Rotate cabinet The third tap enables selection of tilt function. First the corresponding axis of rotation is selected and then the angle of rotation is adjusted. This is carried out by specifying the angle or by mouse selection after unblocking the lock. 120 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

121 6.9 Delete item Select the Delete item icon in the Selection Button bar. Then select the cupboard or object you wish to delete Move / rotate item If you want to move a cupboard or other object, select the Move item icon from the Selection Button bar. Then left-click on the object to select it, define the base point on the object you want to move, and move it to the desired position. If you want to rotate a cupboard or an object, select the Rotate item icon from the menu. Then select the object you wish to rotate. Determine the position of the rotation point and enter the rotation angle. You can do this either by moving the mouse or by entering the rotation angle (+ left, - right) 6.11 Select and insert decorative elements In order to display the room situation as realistically as possible, the system already contains a number of furnishing elements that can be included in the plan. Activate the Insert furniture and decorational elements option from the Deko folder. This folder contains a variety of subdirectories for various furnishing areas. Select the desired decorative element. The AutoCAD main window appears, and the mouse pointer changes to a small square. You can now select a wall, a cupboard or the floor to position the decorative element on or against. Decorative elements can be inserted in exactly the same way as cupboards. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 121 / 144

122 Example: Inserting a sink unit In the following example it is displayed how a sink unit can be inserted in a kitchen counter. The kitchen counter has already been created and the sink unit should be fitted over the second cabinet from the left. Now the sink unit would be selected using Insert furniture or design elements and the second cabinet from left is selected as the reference object. Subsequently the alignment square for the top is selected in the dialog insert article and the thickness of the work top (38mm) is entered in the field Distance / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

123 To get a preview on the CAD-window, the enter key must be pressed after the entry of distance 1. Then the settings will be displayed in the CAD window. If the settings are correct they must be saved with the green tick. Subsequently the sink unit will be inserted. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 123 / 144

124 6.12 Definition of raster Raster is used to bring the cabinets to a definite height dimension. This is essential during the use of plinths in room planning. Top cabinets can be brought to the correct height dimension with the help of raster. When should a raster be defined? Raster need not be always defined. If a cabinet is already furnished with a plinth, it can be directly positioned on the base of the room planning. Raster should always be defined for cabinets with levelling feet. Since the levelling feet may possess a range of adjustment, otherwise an exact height can never be defined. Cabinet with fixed plinths without height raster specification Cabinet with plinths without height raster specification. Centre of reference is the bottom panel. Cabinet with levelling feet and specified height raster for e.g. 110mm (desired plinth height) 124 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

125 Definition of raster Raster can be accessed from room planning Assistant. Values can be specified with the Define raster function. Name Height Any name can be used for indicating the raster. A double click in the field can be used to change the name. The corresponding height of raster can be specified here. The height is always calculated from the base (0mm). Activates or deactivates raster Planning reference of raster Up arrow indicates that all inserted cabinets seen from height raster will be inserted towards the top. Down arrow means that the cabinets will be inserted towards the bottom. Inserts a new raster Deletes an existing raster If values and settings are changed, they should be saved on the diskette. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 125 / 144

126 Raster as width raster Raster can also be used as width raster. This enables cabinets to be placed exactly along the width of a wall. Corner distance Specifies the corner distance from wall end. Depth Sub divisions Defines the depth of raster in the room Defines the number of sub divisions to be made on the wall segment Equal distances The sub divisions are made at equal distance Linear division The sub divisions can be defined freely Eg. 400mm:200mm:400mm:1 Use of raster If raster has been defined, it can be activated or deactivated with the Show/hide raster function of the Assistant. If only a height raster is active, it is immediately used during insertion of a cabinet. For e.g. if the raster A1 with a height of 110 is activated and then a bottom panel is inserted, the cabinet is placed at a height of exactly 110 mm height in relation to the bottom panel. If several rasters are defined, one raster should be selected as reference. This is significant only in the perspective of the room. 126 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

127 6.13 Roof pitch definition Insert roof elements With the insert roof elements function, the roof elements of the room setting are added. The insertion of room elements is best possible in the top view. After accessing the function, knee tile height, room height and roof incline values should be specified. Here the roof incline should be specified according to the knee tile height and the room height, otherwise the value would be overwritten. After the settings have been entered, they are confirmed with the help of the green check mark. The AutoCAD window reappears. The wall adjacent to the roof pitch should be selected. For this the line of the corresponding wall should be clicked exactly with the help of the small box. The roof direction should be specified next. The mouse is clicked in the room, to specify the direction of the roof ridge. The insert roof elements function should be executed again to specify further roof elements, Only a single roof element can be specified at a time. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 127 / 144

128 Alignment of walls to the roof With the Align walls to roof function, walls can be compressed on the inserted roof elements. All walls adjoining the roof should be selected on accessing this function. The selection is confirmed with a right mouse click or the Enter key. Subsequently the corresponding roof element should be selected. Now the walls are aligned to the roof pitch. 128 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

129 Blending roof elements With the Blending roof elements function, the individual roof elements are blended with each other. When two roof pitches overlap each other, the overlappings should be removed. For this purpose the respective roof elements are blended with each other, this means that the roof elements are joined with each other and the projections are removed. After accessing this function the roof elements that are to be aligned should be clicked one after the other. If further roof elements are to be blended with each other, this function should be executed one more time. TIP: Blending ensures that several roof elements are connected to a single roof element. Hence it becomes meaningful to connect all the roof elements first and then align the walls to the roof Component functions Work tops and plinths can be used in the Designer during cabinet design itself. They refer only to one cabinet design at a time. If plinths and work tops are designed for several cabinets, the work and plinth function should be selected from the room planning. This considers several cabinets for designing plinth and work tops Work top functions Selection procedure Work tops can be inserted on preferred cabinets. This can be carried out for one cabinet or more simultaneously. If several cabinets are selected, it is important to consider, that all cabinets close equally and no cabinet is taller than the rest. The best method is to select the cabinets one after the other in a sequence. For a right angled cabinet assembly, only the first and the last cabinet can be selected. The work tops are automatically designed for all cabinets. Exactly one line of the cabinet should be selected, preferably the cabinet side. If the cabinet assembly is not right angled, each cabinet must be selected individually. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 129 / 144

130 Right angles cabinet assembly Select first (1) + last cabinet (2) Non right angled cabinet assembly (Ex. 45 corner cabinet). Each cabinet should be mounted individually. Beginning with the first (1), then the second (2) until the last cabinet (4), the cabinets are selected in a sequence. Work top settings Protrusion front Work top protrusion in the front in relation to the cabinet side Protrusion rear Work top protrusion rear Protrusion right Work top protrusion right Protrusion left Work top protrusion left Connect segments Change the contour from the worktop from one edge to the other. Press the >> symbol 130 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

131 and select both edges one after the other. The edges will be joined together. Height offset Component thickness Distance from plate to cabinet. Is normally 0. The function can be used to create a wall shelf and to let a work top hover over the actual cabinets. Work top thickness After specifying the values the function can be closed with the green check mark and the work tops can be assembled. Cutting work tops (with recommendation) Work tops can be cut. This is required if the workplates are not linear. It is possible that a value is recommended. The Cut work top function is used for this purpose. Exactly one line of the work top is selected. Different recommendations are indicated depending on the work top model. This is best seen in the top view. The red line is selected and the work top is cut at the corresponding point. The entire procedure is confirmed with the green check mark. Work tops can be deleted or removed with the normal item. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 131 / 144

132 Cut work tops (from point to point) Recommendations for cutting were automatically implemented in the aforementioned example. It is also possible that a work top needs to be cut individually. The function Cut work top (from point to point) is accessed from the Assistant. The edge of the work top is selected. The starting point of the cross cut is selected (1) and then the second (2). Both the points are connected by a cut line and the work top is correspondingly cut. Isolate/show elements Sometimes it is difficult to select the cutting recommendations exactly or define them exactly during manual cutting. This can be eased by isolating components. Only the isolated component is displayed and the remaining components are hidden. All actions like cutting work tops can be carried out now. This is also helpful for other functions like manual dimensioning etc. Show elements function shows the elements again. All elements shown Isolated work top 132 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

133 Plinth functions Selection procedure The plinth function is configured in a manner similar to the work top function. The cabinets, which need a plinth, are selected. In order to design plinths simultaneously for several cabinets, the bottom panels of all the cabinets should be of equal height. The selection principle is analogous to the work top; the first and the last cabinets are selected and the plinth follows the cabinet contour automatically. If a cabinet is not right angled, the cabinets should be individually selected. Plinth settings Indent dimension front Indent dimension rear Indent dimension front of the plinth in relation to the cabinet front edge. The standard 50 is optimally aligned on the leveling feet. Indent dimension plinth rear Indent dimension right Indent dimension plinth right Indent dimension left Indent dimension plinth left Height Plinth height. This should match with the raster height settings. Rail Height offset The plinth can be placed around the four sides of the cabinets. With the Rail function the plinth rails can be set to front/rear/right/left. Plinth distance to lower edge of cabinet SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 133 / 144

134 Component thickness Plinth thickness After the selection of the settings, the erection of the plinth is confirmed with the green check mark Cornice functions Selection procedure Cornices can be set up with tall units and top units. Each individual cabinet should be selected one after the other. The cornices will automatically follow the cabinet contours and be cut on mitre. 134 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

135 The tall and top units are selected from 1-3 The cornices follow the cabinet contours. Cornice settings Protrusion front Cornice protrusion front w.r.t. cabinet side Protrusion rear Cornice protrusion rear Protrusion right Cornice protrusion right Protrusion left Cornice protrusion left Height Height/depth of cornice Rail Height offset Cornices can be set on all 4 sides of the cabinet. With the Rail function, the cornice can be set to front/rear/ right/left. Cornice distance to top edge of cabinet Component thickness Thickness of the cornice After the selection of the settings, the erection of the cornice is confirmed with the green check mark. SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf 135 / 144

136 Front panel functions Selection procedure Front panels can be fixed on the cabinets at required areas. In case of a tall unit, it can be fixed both sideways as well as on the top (top filler panel). If a tall unit needs to be fitted with a front oanel, it must be selected in the 3D view. It should be selected exactly on the cabinet side edge (preferably outside). The cabinet edge should be selected exactly. Side is selected Front panel is placed laterally Select top panel, front panel is placed on top 136 / 144 SelectionProf_Handbook_EN.pdf

137 Front panel settings Component height Specifies height/width of the front panel Component height Indent Component height/width can also be determined with the mouse. A point, on which the component is attached, is selected. Specifies the indent dimension of the front panel. Protrusion front Specifies protrusion front/top Protrusion rear Specifies protrusion rear/bottom Front panel thickness Specifies front panel thickness After the selection of the settings, the erection of the front panel is confirmed with the green check mark Visible sides functions Selection procedure The screen function can be used to replicate a certain component, e.g. a cabinet wall. Subsequently the newly formed component can be modified. For the visible side of base cabinet the outer cabinet wall is selected and then replicated. Protrusions can be specified thereafter.

139 6.15 Material Material selectionl Fundamentals Different materials and surfaces can be assigned to each cabinet and component (plinth, work tops) in CAD. They can also be displayed in colour and released in the bill of goods. Material settings The Assistant Surfaces and material can be started with the Material tab. The selection can be done with Material selection. Process of material selection: 1. Furniture or components, for which a material or surface should be assigned. 2. Select material category. 3. Select element for material allocation 4. Select surface 5. Determine grain direction 1) Cabinet selection One or more cabinets, which need to be coated with the surface, can be selected. The corresponding cabinet is selected with a cabinet edge. 2) Component selection An individual component is selected here, e.g. plinth, visible side or work top. Likewise, a single door or drawer for a front panel can also be selected. An individual side panel can also be selected. 3) Surface preview Displays the selected surfaces on the cabinet 4) Category The material category is selected here. This in turn influences the surface selection options. 5) Element selection The elements of a cabinet, which influence surface selection, are selected here. 6) Surface selection The desired surface is selected here.
