The essentials in a couple of minutes: parameters and sections, view modes, layers, checklist, cutting and cost.
Parameters are the core settings of your kitchen or wardrobe. Every unit takes its sizes, fasteners and handles from here: change it once — everything updates.
Sections are the building blocks of a kitchen. One section can be straight, L-shaped or U-shaped.
Need a more complex kitchen? Use several sections.
Every section has a Start point setting: left or right relative to the main side. All cabinets line up in order from it.
Add two corner cabinets and the kitchen takes up the whole main wall, from corner to corner.
Moving cabinets within a section: select a cabinet with the right mouse button and move it with the ← → arrow keys. Or use the Left / Right buttons at the bottom of the cabinet panel.
Base cabinets stand in order, with no gaps. The other rows adjust to them. If a red sector appears, the block doesn't fit: reduce its width or resize the base cabinets.
In a typical kitchen the wall cabinets line up with the base cabinets. That's why on the main side the red sector shows up right away — it helps you align the rows. If the kitchen is L-shaped and the wall cabinets are on one wall only, make that wall the main side. You can always rotate the whole kitchen the way you need in the Actions menu.
For special cases there are «Free space» blocks and free corner blocks. They create an intentional gap between cabinets wherever you need one.

Check your kitchen for mistakes.
Cutting — every part with its sizes and edge banding, laid out on sheets. Cost — materials, labor and hardware at prices for your country: make sure it is set correctly.
