snorswal Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Hello, I am a using Home Designer Pro 2023 and would like to set up a default for NKBA dimensions. I am a design student entering the NKBA kitchen and bath competition and would like to use Home Designer to do it, as I have used this program for several years. I understand Chief Premier has these built in, but would anyone be able to share what they are so I am assured I haven't misunderstood something? Thanks so much. Below is a sample of an elevation in progress...also would love to know if there is a way to have manual dimensions catch fill strips.

y-g-m-n Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 default settings. I am unsure what you mean as the only thing you could set up are base cabinet heights and counter top thickness No default width as that would never work. For wall cabs you get cabinet height and elevation of bottom or top. What mor do you need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorswal Posted Saturday at 03:31 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 03:31 PM I should have been clearer. I am looking for the default dimension settings for elevation and floor plan drawings. NKBA has a specific way they like things shown, and I want to ensure I have all my defaults in Home Designer Pro set to those specific requirements. (the same as the defaults that are built into Chief). I am a first year nontraditional student (read 51 years young :)). I have been using Pro for a few years and want to put together my entry into the NKBA contest this year using Pro, as next year I will be required to use the programs taught at my school (sketchup, 20/20, Lumion). I am hoping by completing the entry this year I will have a realistic comparison of the two options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottharris Posted Sunday at 03:32 AM Share Posted Sunday at 03:32 AM There is a free student version of Chief Architect Premier. Perhaps that would be better suited for your project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorswal Posted Sunday at 04:11 AM Author Share Posted Sunday at 04:11 AM Thank you, Scott. I may need to make the switch. Hoping to test the limits of Pro in order to see if I can use it post schooling though. I am actually at Spokane Falls and have considered coming to CDA for some instruction. If I make the switch to Chief, I think I will need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie65 Posted Sunday at 04:19 AM Share Posted Sunday at 04:19 AM You can make as many layout sheets as you need. You're not limited to just 5 with Pro. Just create each one as a separate PDF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorswal Posted Sunday at 02:22 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 02:22 PM Thank you, Keith. I will plan on doing that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
