NKBA Dimensioning (Legacy)


 Share

Recommended Posts

I've reached out to Chief about this, but I'm curious if the experts have found a solution.

Some of my Kitchen and bath designers need the NKBA legacy dimensioning to work a bit better.  Currently when you select auto dimension NKBA legacy it dimensions all the cabinets and puts them in one string (both upper and lower cabinets).  My team tells me they'd like to see it where the Auto dimensioning works like the elevations do, where the upper cabinets have their own string and the lower cabinets have their own string.

What Chief currently does:

What I need it to do:

I haven't been able to find an option for this in the settings.  Is there a solution out there, besides doing them manually?

Well..first off...its not NKBA if you are dimensioning to Cabinets in a plan view.
Should be dimensioning to casing line 1, center of fixture line 2 then overall line 3.
I like to add in cabinet labels personally

I personally don't know much about NKBA; so I'm a bit on the outside looking in.  I'll meet with the Kit. and bath people again to make sure I'm understanding what they need.

This is close to NKBA and is how I have it set up in my kitchen and bath templates and my pro plan's Kitchen SPV
