Step 3: Create a countertop overhang 

- Solution 1: Create a SMALL OVERHANG (depth <30cm)

Two solutions to create an overhang with a depth less than 30cm: 

• Enter the desired values in the menu

- Solution 2: Create a LARGE OVERHANG (depth>30cm)

For a larger depth stretch, you need to add a countertop from the catalog

From the menu: 

- ARRANGE 

-- KITCHEN

--- PIECE BY PIECE 

---- COUNTERTOP
