Kitchen Builder Step By Step

Step by Step tutorial to create a kitchen with the Modular Kitchen Builder

This is a bit out of date but still useful to understand the workflow.

Best to have Grid Snapping on and set to 1. Turn on rotation snapping as well and move it into place.

Flush to the back wall and 2cm away from the side wall, if there is one.

Add 4 more array elements then copy the first array element [0] to the other array elements using the right mouse click menu.

Next we set the materials for the kitchen.

Finally we enable handles by ticking the box. This will use the default handles which are fine for now.

Then we can select a dishwasher from the Washing list

The oven is a build in appliance. Only some ovens or microwaves are Build In Appliances which come with a special cabinet. Sizes are standardized and most appliance maker stick to them. Choose an oven suitable for the cabinet chosen.

The rangehood is placed inside the bottom of wall cabinet to be flush with the other cabinets. We can move the bottom of the cabinet up by the height of the rangehood. The cabinet has also usually not a glass door. So we set it to a standard door.

Note that the module has two doors. 75 and 90 width modules have double doors.

Tip: Leave a 2cm "shadow gap" on the side of cabinets.

Lets also bring the rangehood cabinet back to its original size and offset the rangehood appliance instead to sit under the cabinet.

This completes the simple kitchen.

Select the first array of the kitchen modules. Right click and choose copy from the context menu.

Empty the array (delete all arrays) by clicking on the bin icon next to the (+) icon at the top of the array list.

The use (+) to add a single module

Finally right click and choose paste from the context menu to copy the first module back.

You now should have a single module in the same style as the original kitchen you built before.

Tip: CTRL+END will snap your object to the current grid. If it isn't already.
END will snap the pivot of your object to the floor.

Use grid snap to perfectly align the two kitchen blueprints to form an L-Shaped layout.

The Bench is already on the corner module but we need to enable to splashback and disable the base module.

Because we added an extra module at the start of the array the whole kitchen has moved to the right side.

We can use other meshes to improve the kitchen blueprint. The meshes I used here are in Modular Kitchen / Meshes / Additional. Use the same materials to seamlessly integrate them.
