Countertop Quotes

[Janicepage]

Do any kitchen designers out there using CA have tips for making countertop quotes? I have tried using custom countertops but that doesn't seem to be very efficient.

 

Thanks

I had a plan view that used a default set- custom counters, counter dimensions, counter text. Had that as a page in at the end of the layout using a different page template than the reast (set to 8-1/2 x 11). Printed that page seperately.

 To create the custom counter top start by selecting a base cabinet run in the standard kitchen plan, adjust as needed, then another.

Oh BTW I set all cabinet front overhand to what I wanted but sides and back to 0". Select one end of the counter and click the temp dimension the "+ some number" Island overhangs done the same way.

Once all are good open the counter PV- do dimensions and notes. Done.

What is the issue you are running into that is not efficient?

I'm not sure if this answer is helpful, but I will make polylines over the counter tops and then make a polyline the size of the specific slab size. Then I can Tetris the countertop pieces on to the slab to figure out how many slabs I need. And Fab is per foot, so I can macro label each countertop piece and do some math.
