QUESTION
How do I add a corner cabinet to a plan?
ANSWER
There are two ways to create a corner cabinet in Chief Architect.
- You can click near the intersection of two perpendicular walls to place a corner cabinet, or
- You can specify an existing cabinet as a corner cabinet.
For this example we will use a Base Cabinet, but you can use this same procedure to create corner Wall and Full Height cabinets
To automatically place a corner cabinet
- Select Build> Cabinet> Base Cabinet
.
- Once you choose a cabinet, the cursor will appear as a cross hair with the Base Cabinet icon
next to it.
- Position the cross hair in a corner of the room, making sure that it is as close to the corner as possible.
