How to Draw Cabinet Elevations

There are several methods for drawing cabinet elevations.

Method 1:
In plan view place your cabinets then
Go to Draw > Cabinet > Elevation Cabinets
Click on cabinets in plan view, this will give you elevation view of your cabinets. Locate these elevations above your plan view on a wall by wall basis.

Method 2:
You can draw your cabinets in elevation view from the start
In Plan view,
Go To Draw > Cabinet > Elevation View
Select cabinet, door style, size, etc. then draw line verticallly for placing them vertically. If you draw line horizontal, cabinets get placed on their sides.

Method 3:
In Plan view,
Draw cabinets then go to
Build > Section Line
Draw your section line just in front of the cabinets
move the mouse in the direction to view cabinets (usually front to rear)
Go To Build > Cross Section
Choose section letter you just created

You now have an interior section (elevation) view of your cabinets
Repeat these steps for evey wall that has cabinets.
