STRETCH a cabinet set

You have modeled a kitchen cabinet set: you can now stretch it.

Stretching a kitchen cabinet set is the action of modifying its length or even its shape with a single click. It can be done in both 2D and 3D.

Step by step to stretch a kitchen cabinet set

Step 1: Select your kitchen cabinet set

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

A blue highlight appears: your kitchen cabinet set is selected.

Its stretch handles are displayed (except in front view).

They are represented by:

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

Depending on its configuration, a cabinet set may have 4 stretch handles: 

• 2 lateral stretch handles
• 2 corner stretch handles.

Step 2: Stretch your kitchen cabinet set

With stretching, you can enlarge or reduce the length of your kitchen cabinet set. 

- ENLARGE a cabinet set

In 2D as well as in 3D, a cabinet set can be stretched at any time to:

• enlarge its length with a simple stretch
• or enlarge its length and modify its shape with a corner stretch. This way, you can create L-shaped kitchens, U-shaped kitchens, and more.

- Select a stretch handle, perform a drag-and-drop in the desired direction using your mouse.

Your cabinet set enlarges with new cabinets, and we recalculate the optimal position of your equipment. 

- REDUCE a cabinet set

In 2D as well as in 3D, a cabinet set can be stretched at any time to reduce its length with a stretch.

- Select a stretch handle, perform a drag-and-drop in the desired direction using your mouse.

Your cabinet set shrinks, and we recalculate the optimal position of your equipment. 

Attention: Reducing the length of a cabinet set may result in the removal of some appliances if its new length is insufficient to accommodate them all. A notification will prompt you to remove your cabinet set to have all the desired equipment. 

- Stretch a CABINET SET that has already been MODIFIED

If you have made a modification to your cabinet set (by moving, replacing, or locking a cabinet) and you want to stretch the cabinet set, we ask you to refine the desired action, you can:

-- Stretch by recalculating a new composition 

In case of enlarging or reducing an already modified cabinet set, this option restarts a calculation and optimizes the positions of all elements. Your previous modifications may not be retained. 

-- Enlarge by filling with new cabinets

In case of enlarging an already modified cabinet set, this option lengthens the cabinet set with storage cabinets without modifying the initial organization.  

-- Reduce by removing cabinets

In case of reducing an already modified cabinet set, this option reduces the cabinet set by removing cabinets without modifying the initial organization.
