To place a cabinet on a wall, you need to enter a few items in the cabinet edit window.
1.Location, this is the dimension from the left end of the wall to the left side of the cabinet.
2.Off floor, this is the height to the bottom of the cabinet. It is used mostly for upper cabinets, but can come in handy at times. If you make your toe kicks separate, set this to the height of your toe kick and set the toe kick to zero on the cabinet.
3.From wall, this is how much to hold the cabinet away from the wall on the floor plan view. It is mostly used for valances.
4.Wall #, this is the wall that this cabinet will be placed on in the floor plan or elevation views. When planning cabinets in the elevation view, this box will be disabled. If you need to change the wall number, make sure you close the elevation or floor plan view and then open the edit window for the cabinet. The wall # box will then be enabled.
Cabinets may also be placed with the Click & Drag feature. Click here for more info
You do not need to enter anything in these boxes if you are just planning some quick cabinets and are not interested in seeing a floor plan or elevation view.
