MOVE a cabinet set

You have modeled a kitchen cabinet set: there are several methods to move it within your room:

• mouse movement
• editing its position dimensions
• editing its position in the settings panel
• keyboard movement

Step-by-step guide to move a kitchen cabinet set

Step 1: Select your cabinet set

In 2D, 3D, or frontal view: click on your cabinet set.

A blue highlight appears: your cabinet set is selected.

Its stretch handles are displayed, except in frontal view. They are represented by:

•    blue circles in 2D
•    and arrows in 3D. 

Its position dimensions are displayed and editable.

Its context menu appears with its price, comfort level, and various editing options:

• access cabinet properties
• delete the cabinet set
• access frontal view

Step 2: Move your cabinet set

Choose one of these 4 movement methods:

Solution 1: Mouse movement

- In 2D and 3D, to move a cabinet set, click, drag, and drop the selected cabinet set to the desired location.

Note: if you move a cabinet set from one wall to another with activated magnetism, it automatically rotates if necessary. 

- In frontal view: this solution is not available. 

Solution 2: Edit its position dimensions

- In 2D and 3D, click on a position dimension, an editing modal opens. You can enter the requested value.

Note: The display of these measurements can be configured in the toolbar: 

• Manage display of 2D elements > Measurements > Object position
• Manage display of 3D elements > Measurements > Object position

- In frontal view, click on the pink position dimensions, they are editable in the same way.

Solution 3: Edit position in the SETTINGS PANEL

In 2D and 3D, as well as in frontal view,

[settings panel from January 2024]

- 1. Click on the "properties" icon in the cabinet set's context menu. The settings panel appears on the left side of your screen. 

- 2. Then unfold the "position" tab of your cabinet set. 

The position menu appears. You can configure: 

• The elevation of your cabinet set: allows you to modify the height of the cabinet set from the ground. This option is especially useful for tall furniture. 
• Positions relative to walls: informs you about the placement of your cabinet set in relation to walls. These values can be numerically modified. 
• Positions relative to objects: informs you about the placement of your cabinet set in relation to the nearest objects. These values can be numerically modified. 

Solution 4: Keyboard movement

In 2D and 3D, it is also possible to move a cabinet set using your keyboard: press the "arrow" keys on your keyboard repeatedly. 

Tip: Keep magnetism activated. 

We have 3 types of magnetism in Kazaplan:

• object collisions
• object alignment
• wall magnetism 

They are activated by default and can be activated from the toolbar: 

Tip: To temporarily enable or disable magnetism, press the ALT key (FN key on a Mac).

When placing a cabinet set against a wall, it automatically rotates thanks to magnetism.
