KCDw Dimensions

Below are pictures demonstrating what the dimensions represent in kcdw.

Joining 2 Units Together

A – This is the width of the unit which has both sides/pars on it. You will notice the width you type in is the width of the shelf, 24”, + the left side/par, ¾”, + the right side/par, ¾”.

B - This is, again, the width of the unit, which only has one par on it, the par on the right. The width you type in is the width of the shelf, 24”, + the left par, 0, + the right par, ¾”. The left par is 0 so the 2 units will be combined as one unit.

C – This is the opening, or the shelf width on each unit. You will notice that even though the widths, A and B, are different the shelf width is the same.

When joining 2 units together in KCDw you could take the par off of either unit, e.g. 1 or 2. When taking the par off you must keep in mind a few things:

• Width - The width is the overall width, not the shelf width
• Location – You may need to adjust the location of the unit when removing a par
• You must keep a par on one of the units so a shared par will be created in between the 2 units.

Openings in KCDw Software

A – This is the top opening height of the unit. You are able to change this dimension to whatever you would like it to be. As you can see in the picture the opening refers to space from the bottom of the top shelf to the top of the middle shelf.

B – This is the bottom opening height of the unit. You are not able to change this dimension. This dimension is calculated by taking the height you typed into the unit then subtracting the top, the middle shelf, bottom, kick and the top opening height. You can change the bottom opening height by changing any of the other values, typically you will change the top opening height. The bottom opening height is the distance from the bottom of the middle shelf to the top of the bottom shelf.

C - This is the same as A, it is the top opening height.

D – This is the middle opening height. You are able to change this dimension as well. This dimension is the distance from the bottom of the middle shelf to the top of the lower middle shelf.

E – This is the bottom opening height. This is the same as B except there are 2 more dimensions which are subtracted from the height to calculate this dimension. This dimension is calculated by taking the height you typed into the unit then subtracting the top, middle shelf, lower middle shelf, bottom, kick, top opening height, and the middle opening height. Again you may change this dimension by changing any of the other values in the unit.
