56TO ACCESS FREQUENTLY USED COMMANDS, THE TOOLBARS

To Access Frequently Used Commands,the Toolbars

A toolbar is a set of icons representing an action or a command. These

commands are also available through the menus, but clicking on anicon is a quicker way of performing tasks.

Leave the mouse over an icon for a few seconds to know its use.

To Get Cues, the Information Box

The Information box has several purposes:

When you are creating or editing a design, it lets you know what

you should do next.


65/103

When you move the cursor over an item for a few seconds, it givesbasic information.

When you click on an item to highlight it in the Drag & Drop list, it

shows a preview of the selected item.


66/103

58TO ENTER VALUES, THE EDIT BOX

To Enter Values, the Edit Box

Instead of using the mouse to specify values such as the wall length or

the cabinet position, you can get more precision by using the keyboardand the Edit box.

You can display values in feet/inches (1' 2"), inches only (14"), ormillimeters (55mm), depending on the selection under the Units tab of

the Display Settings.

Furthermore, when you enter a measurement in inches only, there is noneed to enter the inch symbol ("). For instance, if you type in 5.5 and

press TAB, you will see 5 1/2".

When typing in fractions, you can use either format:

57.5 (using a decimal point)

or

57 (leaving a space before the fraction).

A few keys to remember when using the Edit box:

TAB to move to the next field


67/103

59


SHIFT+TAB to move to the previous field

ENTERto accept the values entered

ESC to cancel the values entered and the command selected.

To Quickly Add Items, the Drag & Drop List

With the Drag & Drop list, the content of a catalog is at your fingertips!

When you find the item (in bold) you need, click on it and simply dragand drop it onto the Work area (Floor Plan/Elevation or on the Non-

Plan Items section of the BOM). Use the scroll bar, the arrow keys, or

the PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys to scroll through sub-lists.

Use this area to

select a catalog.

This area shows the

history of selections.

Use this area to

select categories and

items.


68/103

60TO QUICKLY ADD ITEMS, THE DRAG & DROP LIST

You can add several Drag & Drop lists and customize each one: onemay show cabinets, another bathroom accessories, and so on.

You can even type in codes, using the Quick Search area, to list items

beginning with the same code. The more characters you add to yoursearch, the narrower the list becomes. Once you see the item you want,

you can click on it to display its location in the catalog, in the history of

selection area.

As explained earlier, the Drag & Drop list is also linked to the

Information box where you can see a picture of the highlighted item.

To Select a Floor Plan or Elevation Item,Click on It

When you left-click on an item, handles (squares) and a dotted outline

appear around it.

To deselect an item, click on another item or on an empty space.

You can also use the CTRL key to select a group of items.

To Assign Design Settings, Right-ClickAgain!

As you now know, to edit an item, simply right-clickon it. To access

commands related to the entire design, right-click:

away from any wall/construction line Floor Plan area

outside the walls/construction lines Elevation area

For instance, you might not want to see all the dimensions on the floorplan view or you might want to identify appliances on an elevation

view by assigning them a specific color. To do this and much more,you need to configure the display settings for each view used.


72/103

64TO FOLLOW DESIGN RULES, THE ASSISTANTS BOX

To Follow Design Rules, the Assistants Box

You can follow the NKBA guidelines when designing. Three assistants

are there to help you: two when placing items on the layout and another

when the design is completed.


73/103

65


A 20-20 Design Assistant informs you of conflicts encountered andgives you explanations on NKBA guidelines or any other guidelines if

available in your version of 20-20.

When you correct a problem, a Design Assistant informs you that there

is no longer a conflict.


74/103

66DRAW THE LAYOUT

Draw the Layout

When you draw a layout, remember that:

you should draw wall/construction lines in a clockwise sequence so

items are placed inside the room.

the start position on the floor plan indicates an invisible quadrant:

this determines the direction of the first wall/construction line. Theadvantage is that you do not need to change the angle.

construction lines are invisible walls often used to create structuressuch as islands.

you can place items on one or both sides of a wall/construction line.

one-sided wall/construction line: you can place items only on

one side such as on an exterior wall containing an Insideplacement zone.


75/103

67


two-sided wall/construction line: you can place items on bothsides such as on an island containing both an Inside and an

Outside placement zone.

wall/construction lines have a display placement zone: items placedare attached as Wall-mounted items or Floor-mounted items.


76/103

68PLACE ITEMS

Place Items

A. To attach an item to a wall/construction line, click:

inside the placement zone Floor Plan area

at the base height of the item Elevation area

When you want to place a freestanding item, i.e. not attached to a

wall/construction line, click on the floor area (floor plan). An itemalso becomes freestanding when it is no longer inside the

placement zone. For instance, if you drag a cabinet beyond the

wall, it becomes a freestanding item.


77/103

69


B. To attach an item to a corner, on the Floor Plan area, click on thediagonal dotted line joining the two walls/construction lines.

C. Before setting the position of an item, you can right-click:

to pull it in or out Floor Plan area

to move it up or down Elevation area

to rotate it Floor Plan area when the item is freestanding.

You can also place an item diagonally on a wall/construction line.

To do this, move the item on the floor area, rotate it, and then place

it on the wall/construction line where you want it to becomeattached.

Zoom on a Design

You can use the following commands to zoom on the Floor Plan and

Elevation areas:

Scroll a Design

When the current scale does not show the entire design, use the scroll

bars to move around.

Horizontal scrolls are under the Floor Plan and Elevation areas; vertical

scrolls are located on the right side.


80/103

72SWITCH BETWEEN VIEWS

Switch Between Views

To the left of the horizontal scroll bar, you have the Display Tab area.

With the split bar, you can resize to see more or less of this area.

Use the Tab scroll buttons when some of the display tabs are

concealed by the horizontal scroll bar.

Use the Fp and El tabs to display the floor plan or elevation view with

the display settings configured.

Use the Go to First and Go to Last buttons to display the firstor last floor plan or elevation tab when the horizontal scroll bar

conceals some of the display tabs.


81/103

73


Work with the Bill of Materials

The Bill of Materials (BOM) has four tabs:

Graphic Items

Calculated Items

Accessories & Extra Costs

Notes

Graphic Items

Consists of two sections:

Plan Items

Non-Plan Items


82/103

74WORK WITH THE BILL OF MATERIALS

You can see items added on the Floor Plan or Elevation area underPlan Items. When you add items directly to the BOM, they are listedunderNon-Plan Items.

You can drag non-plan items on the layout if necessary. You can also

cut items from the layout and paste them under Non-Plan items.

To get a quick idea of the design total, look in the lower right corner of

the BOM, and remember that this is the total price of all items without

taxes and extra charges. The Calculated Items section of the BOMshows the quantity calculated by the program for each predefined item

(for example the amount of slabs required) and the total price

associated with this quantity.

Use the Window menu to switch between the BOM and the FloorPlan/Elevation areas.


83/103

75


Calculated items

Items that are sold in bulk or items sold by slabs (such as countertops

and moldings) are calculated in the Calculated Items section of theBOM.

The Plan Items section lists these items; the Calculated Items section

lists the quantities required and their corresponding prices.

Accessories & Extra Costs

To add items such as extra shelves and demolition costs and more, use

Design, Accessories & Extra Costs, or the corresponding icon .

Heres an example on how to add extra shelves with the SAMPLE_F

catalog:
