    Dimensions

    Width, Height and Depth of cabinet and kickboard can be customised.

    You are able to do math in the input fields e.g: if you type +40mm in the Width edit box which is currently displaying 750mm then the result is 790mm.

    Floor carcass Height typically includes the kickboard height i.e. If the kickboard height is 140mm and the cabinet is 730mm then the actual height from the floor to the top of the carcass is 870mm.

    Floor carcass height has the capacity to change when the benchtop thickness is altered. The Job Setup > Defaults page determines whether the carcass height includes the benchtop.
