Everything you need to use the tool, in one place — a quick start, a full feature reference, and fixes for the things that most often trip people up. Search below, or browse by section.
This usually means your browser silently blocked the new tab the tool tries to open. Check for a popup-blocked notice in your address bar — or, if instead a box titled "Copy your print-ready sheet" appeared, that's the built-in fallback: click Copy, paste into a plain text editor (Notepad, TextEdit), save the file with a .html ending, then open that file and print or save as PDF from there. That copy has no branding and is fully self-contained.
Also double check you're on Pro — Print / Save PDF is gated on Free, and the button won't do anything until you upgrade (or switch the demo toggle to Pro if you're testing).
Always use the tool's own Print / Save PDF button rather than your browser's Ctrl+P shortcut. The button opens the drawing in its own clean tab where the print layout is guaranteed correct (one elevation per page); Ctrl+P prints whatever the browser currently considers "the page," which can include surrounding chrome if the tool is embedded in another view.
The logo is saved as part of your local draft, so a very old saved session can override a freshly uploaded one. Click Reset logo (the small link under the logo in the title block) to force it back to the current default, then re-upload if needed. Custom logo upload is a Pro feature — on Free, clicking the logo box always opens the upgrade prompt instead of a file picker.
Both are Pro features. On Free you'll see a note explaining that with an "Upgrade to Pro" button in place of the drawing — this is expected, not a bug. Switch to Pro (or the demo toggle, if you're evaluating) to see them.
Check the tier badge in the toolbar actually reads PRO — the button that toggles it is the same one, it just changes label ("Upgrade to Pro" / "Switch to Free (demo)") depending on your current tier. If it does say PRO and something still looks wrong, try clicking elsewhere on the page once to force it to refresh, or reload the tab.
Check the mm / ft / in toggle in the toolbar — it's a read-only display conversion only. Every number you type, every save, and every printed PDF always stays in millimetres regardless of which button is highlighted. If you're seeing feet-and-inches on screen, that's just the display; nothing about your actual drawing has changed.
They shouldn't — corners are kept clean automatically so cabinet runs never overlap where two walls meet. If a corner still looks wrong, use ↑/↓ on a wall's caption to change the order your walls are listed in — the corners re-adjust to match. Note that this is purely a drawing fix for the floor plan — if a base run is genuinely too wide to reach the corner without its door colliding with the return wall's cabinets in real life, that's a design issue the floor-plan trim doesn't solve. See Blind Corner cabinets below for the proper fix on the elevation itself.
The island automatically stays clear of every wall's cabinets and settles as close to the centre of the room as it can. In a tight layout, dead-centre may not leave enough clearance, so it settles nearby instead — still fully clear of every wall. If that happens, it's usually a sign the room is tight for that island's depth, worth double-checking on site rather than a drawing error.
Free includes the starter kitchen (3 walls + island) plus exactly one extra wall. Once you've used that, adding more requires Pro — clicking the button will open the upgrade prompt instead of adding a wall. This is based on your current total wall count, so removing a wall and adding a different one won't reset the allowance; it's a straightforward cap on how many walls Free can hold at once.
All three are Pro features. On Free, clicking them opens the upgrade prompt rather than performing the action — that's expected. You'll still see the single default note on the first elevation even on Free, but it's read-only (no drag handle, no delete button, can't be typed into).
Your in-progress session auto-saves to this browser (not tied to an account), so a crash or accidental refresh should restore it automatically — check you're opening the tool in the same browser, on the same device you were working in, since this data doesn't sync anywhere else. If you deliberately used Reset example, that intentionally clears back to the starter kitchen; there's no undo for that specific action once confirmed.
Named projects saved via Save… are separate from the auto-recovery draft and are listed in My Saved Sets — also per-browser, and Pro-gated.
Check you're on Pro — "My Saved Sets" is gated on Free. If you are on Pro and a project is still missing, it may have been saved from a different browser or device; saved sets are stored locally in the browser you saved them from, not in the cloud.
If you're on Free, the default note is intentionally read-only — no editing, dragging, or deleting, and adding new notes isn't available. On Pro, make sure you're clicking directly into the note's text area to type (not the thin coloured strip at the top, which is the drag handle) — and drag from that strip, not the text, to move it.
Undo works in whole "actions" rather than individual keystrokes — a full drag, or all the typing in one field-editing session, is one undo step. If you type in a field, click elsewhere, then come back and type more, that's counted as two separate steps. Keep clicking Undo to step back further; it's disabled (greyed out) once there's nothing left to undo.
On a shorter screen, the Selection panel on the right scrolls independently of the page — if a cabinet's full set of options (including the Delete button at the bottom) doesn't fit, scroll inside that panel rather than the page. It's a normal scrollable box once the page itself has been scrolled down a little.
Drag a cabinet to move it. Drag its top edge to change height, or its right edge to change width. Click any cabinet to select it and type exact numbers in the Selection panel on the right — width, height, position, outline style, split doors, and more.
Base, Tall, and Upper add standard cabinets at those heights. Panel adds a thin end panel. Bench adds a benchtop cap. Filler adds a horizontal filler strip (kickboards, topboards). Corner adds a blind corner base cabinet — see below. New items land on whichever wall you clicked into last, and line up next to items of the same height band automatically so you can build a row left-to-right without manual nudging. Every button also works as a drag — pick one up and drop it exactly where you want it on the drawing instead of letting it auto-place.
Where two walls' base runs meet at an internal 90° corner, a full-width door on both runs would collide with each other in real life. A Blind Corner cabinet is the standard fix: part of its carcass is "blind" — hatched on the drawing, tucked behind the return wall's cabinets, no door — and only the rest gets a usable door front.
Add one from the palette (Corner) at the end of whichever base run sits nearest the corner. In the Selection panel, set Blind side to whichever side of the cabinet actually faces into the corner, and Door width to the real usable opening you're speccing — the remaining width becomes the blind zone automatically. Defaults to 900mm total / 600mm door. It carries a 120mm kicker like any other base cabinet, and drags, copies, and deletes the same way too.
This is purely an elevation fix — it doesn't change how the Top-Down Floor Plan trims corners (that's automatic and unrelated, see Troubleshooting above). Its job is to make the elevation correctly document what's actually being built at that corner, not to change the floor plan's geometry.
Set a cabinet's outline to Dashed in the Selection panel to reveal an appliance dropdown — oven, microwave, rangehood, fridge, dishwasher, sink, cooktop, or washer/dryer. The icon scales to fit the cabinet automatically. For an integrated appliance (behind a full cabinetry front, no visible icon), leave the outline Solid instead and style it as a normal door.
Choose the drawers pattern to auto-fill a cabinet with standard-height drawers and handles, sized to fit however tall the cabinet is. Leave Drawer count blank to keep that automatic fill, or set it to a specific number for an even stack of exactly that many — 2 for a double "pot drawer," 3 or 4 for a standard drawer stack. Tick Two doors (split) for a centre-split cabinet with two handles, or No handle for filler and panel pieces that shouldn't show one. There's no separate finger-pull style yet — for now, tick No handle and note it's finger-pull in the label or a builder's note if that distinction matters on the job.
"+ Label" adds a text callout with a leader line pointing at a cabinet. Click it to retype the text or change what it points to in the Selection panel; double-click the label directly on the drawing to rename it in place.
The Power palette button marks a power point (GPO) with the same red-dot symbol builders use on a hand-marked sketch. Click it to drop one at a default spot on the active wall, or drag it straight onto the drawing to drop it exactly where you want, the same as any other palette item.
Click a power point to select it, then set its exact position in the Selection panel — From wall start and From floor, both in mm — or drag it to nudge it (snaps to the same 10mm grid as cabinets). Tick Double power point to switch it to the two-dot symbol for a double GPO. Delete it from the Selection panel or with the Delete key, same as a cabinet or label.
"+ Note" (on any elevation's caption, or the Floor Plan / Schematic headings) drops a freeform red note anywhere on that page — it grows to fit whatever you type. Drag it by the thin strip at its top; delete it with the × in that same strip. A default note ships on the first elevation for reference. PRO to add, edit, move, or delete — Free sees the default note read-only.
"+ Add wall" adds a new elevation (one extra is included on Free; unlimited on Pro PRO). "Duplicate" PRO copies a wall's entire cabinet layout under a new name. ↑/↓ on a wall's caption reorders it — this also sets the order walls join corner-to-corner in the Top-Down Floor Plan. "Remove wall" deletes it (you can't remove the last remaining wall).
Standalone: tick this on a wall's caption when it isn't physically connected to the others — e.g. it's across a walkway or opening, not sharing a corner. It still draws with its own cabinets and dimensions, just set apart from the connected run in the Top-Down Floor Plan by default (west/left, running vertically), instead of joined corner-to-corner. Same drag-to-reposition and double-click-to-rotate control as the island — see below — since once it's not joined to anything, where it sits and which way it runs is yours to set.
Shown as two views on one sheet since it's freestanding: front and rear. "+ Add Island" on the toolbar creates a fresh one — an empty front/rear pair you build up from the palette, same as "+ Add wall" but freestanding in the Top-Down Floor Plan instead of corner-joined (counts toward the same Free-tier wall limit). The starter kitchen's own island (front with waterfall stone ends, rear with drawers) still only comes from Reset example.
Its depth doesn't get drawn on either elevation — set it in the Bench depth field that appears on the toolbar whenever an island view is active (front or rear, either updates it). Width and height typed into Wall width / Wall height stay in sync between the front and rear views automatically, since they're the same physical benchtop.
Orientation and position, in the Top-Down Floor Plan itself: drag the island's dashed rectangle to put it wherever it actually sits relative to the other walls — it stops auto-placing itself once moved. Double-click it to rotate 90° between running horizontal and vertical. No separate fields for either; it's the same drag/double-click language as everything else on the drawing.
PRO A true corner-joined plan view, built from the order your walls are listed in above, with each wall's real cabinet depths shown inset and corners kept clean automatically. The island is freestanding and automatically placed clear of every wall. Wall thickness isn't modelled; each wall is a single accurate-length line.
PRO A quick per-wall reference strip showing each wall's cabinet footprint and depth independently — not joined into a room outline like the Floor Plan, so it's best for checking one wall's depths and clearances at a glance.
A read-only display toggle only. Metric is always the default and the only thing that's ever edited, saved, or printed — switching to feet-and-inches just changes what the numbers on screen look like.
Controls whether width/height dimensions show only on the cabinet you've clicked, or on every cabinet at once. Unlike the unit toggle, this one does carry through to Print / Save PDF.
Edit the project address, drawing name, and revision table directly in the title block. Click the logo to upload your own PRO, or use the small "Reset logo" link to go back to the default mark at any time (free to use, even on Free tier).
Two separate systems: an automatic draft that protects your current in-progress session against a crash or accidental refresh (works on both tiers, per-browser only), and named saves PRO — "Save…" keeps a permanent, named copy you can reopen any time from "My Saved Sets," optionally marked as a reusable template.
PRO Opens the drawing in its own clean tab, ready to print or save as a PDF — one elevation per page, plus the Floor Plan and Schematic on their own pages. If your browser blocks the popup, a fallback lets you copy the print-ready HTML instead — see Troubleshooting above.
Free is the full starter kitchen with complete cabinet editing, capped at one extra wall, no saving or printing. Pro ($39/month) unlocks unlimited walls, duplicate, notes, the Floor Plan, your own logo, saving, and printing. Full comparison on the Plans & Pricing page.
No — the tool is for coordination and communication, not a substitute for a licensed site measure. Every printed set carries a disclaimer stating dimensions must be verified on site before fabrication or installation, and that no liability is accepted for errors, omissions, or design faults. See Plans & Pricing for the full wording.
Stone: 20mm, 40mm, or 60mm. Laminate: 32mm. Standard depth is 600mm, and can go up to 700mm. Island benchtops can go up to 1200mm wide. Enter the real depth in each cabinet's Depth field so the Top-Down Floor Plan reflects it accurately.
All of the above are on the Appliance icon dropdown (set the cabinet's outline to Dashed first). For an integrated appliance, leave the outline Solid and style it as a normal door instead — no icon needed.
No kicker on floor-standing appliances: setting the icon to Fridge, Dishwasher, or Washer/Dryer automatically removes that cabinet's kicker and drops it to the floor — these appliances sit on their own adjustable feet, not a kickboard. Switch the icon to anything else (or back to None) and the kicker comes back. This applies everywhere a cabinet is created, not just the starter examples.
None of these have a dedicated symbol yet — the workarounds below cover them for now:
