Cadimage Tools: Complete User Guide

E. Cabinets (Joinery)

The Problem: Native zone tools or morphs are clumsy for designing kitchens and custom joinery. The Solution:

• Parametric Design: Drag and drop to create base units, wall units, and tall cabinets.
• Customization: Change door styles, handles, materials, and dimensions on the fly.
• Output: Automatically generates elevation views, door lists, and hardware schedules.

Step 2: Installation

The Cadimage Portal app manages all installations. One click installs the entire suite. It supports ArchiCAD on both Mac and Windows. cadimage tools

5. Usability and Learning Curve

• Beginner: Basic placement of objects (doors/windows) is intuitive; many users see immediate time savings.
• Intermediate: Customization of parameters and schedule templates requires some training.
• Advanced: Scripting or GDL tweaking for bespoke office standards needs deeper knowledge of Archicad’s object system. Training via short workshops and creating office template projects accelerates adoption.
