Step 7 – Display the Cabinet in the Kitchen Planner

The final step is to display the base cabinet in the Kitchen Planner. This relies on a link between the catalog where the base cabinet is listed as product, and an application distribution.

There are three main types of kitchen application distributions:

  • A type dedicated to Assembly Editor
  • A type dedicated to the Template Editor
  • A type dedicated to the Kitchen Planner

We will choose the third type to display our base cabinet.

The process starts in 3DCloud.

  1. Open the catalog in which the base cabinet is listed.
  2. Select a Kitchen type application distribution in the drop-down list.
  3. Click Save.

The base cabinet is now linked to the appropriate application distribution.
