Overhead storage

When placing overheads you need to investigate each product line as each manufacture inserts the overhead at different elevations. Generally the insertion point for the overheads is at the top left corner of the back of the cabinet. The following steps set your drawing up to place the overheads at the appropriate location.

1. On the Furniture Icon Menu, click the System Furn Tab, then click the FD Cab icon.
   
   
   
   

2. Select the 13” X 36” flipper.
   
   
   
   

3. To place the overhead cabinet at the proper height, select Z Ht to set the furniture elevation Z-height.
   
   
   
   

4. To the right of Z Ht type in or use the increment arrows to enter the desired Z-height. In this example, the panel is 62” high. Therefore, set the Z-height to 62” (or 5’ 2”).
   
   

5. Bring the flipper directly over the 36” straight worksurface along the left side.
   
   

6. Right-click once to snap it into place. Place the same flipper above the other 36” straight worksurface.
   
   

7. On the toolbar, click the Activate 3D Window icon to see that the flipper has placed at the proper height.
   
   

8. Click on the Create Hidden Line icon to hide lines.
   

9. Click the Activate 2D Window icon to return to the 2D view.

Note: Be sure to change the Z Ht back to Norm after inserting overheads, otherwise any items that you place after making this change will come in 62” above the floor.
