L-Shape Templates

Groups

We highly recommend to create two groups within the L-shapes. We also suggest that you establish a convention on which group the corner cabinet should belong to. 3DVIA has added the corner cabinet to the left_linear.

Naming

Group name	Type
Left_Linear	Mandatory
Right_Linear	Mandatory
Island	Optional

Circulations

We have added circulations only for the island as follows:

Front=600mm
Right=600mm
Back=600mm
Left=100mm

Note:
When chairs are on the island, we put circulation of 300mm on the chair side.

Constraints

Corner

Select the corner cabinet and give it the correct position (depending on the position of the furniture against its reference wall).

Relative Placement: Perpendicular on specific side

Select first the Left_Linear and then the Right_Linear.

Distance

Select the two groups Left_Linear and Right_Linear with goal value = 0mm / min= -10 / max=10mm on the X axis.

template Best Practices

Same Wall

Apply the same wall constraint between Left_Linear and Island so that when offering solutions the island will always be on the same side. Otherwise, the user could end up with four solutions and only the island turning around.

Alignment

Alignment constraint ensure to have the island not far away from the Right_Linear. We suggest a default value of 1000mm meaning that the island could go on the left or right side of the selected axis up to 1000mm. The reason behind such a big number is that we would rather have an island not perfectly aligned but present than not-so that the sales associate will have a discussion about the island with the consumer. When aligning, try to respect as much as you can the original template.
