Important Notes:
| • | Start Simple, there are a lot of options, set most of them to zero at first. |
| • | You don't have to price items you don't use. If you don't build cabinets with Flutes, don't worry about the price. If you don't make upper lazy susan cabinets, don't try and figure a price. |
| • | The price you set for your cabinets will be the lineal, square or cubic foot price for that cabinet (depending on the option you choose) in most cases. However some units are priced with a fixed cost (they will be labeled that way, the price method you choose will have no effect on these units. |
| • | The viewer automatically saves your work, when you switch between pages, however you can also click save under the file menu as well. You can never save too often. |
| • | Click on the red question mark  for more information on that question. |
Experiment, setup something, then check the price, if they are wrong adjust your figures. Soon you will get the hang of how it works.
