Are you even bothering to do built-ins in closets using Chief cabinet tools?

I know, I know, closet built-ins are highly personalized.  But cannot the same be said, even moreso, for kitchen storage?  Or bathroom vanities?

 

Here are a couple of pics snipped from a Zillow page, the larger room being a "her" closet, the other a "his."  The arrangements done, are likely not high-end custom, but built using one of the many available kits of ready-to-assemble parts to achieve a hung-to-wall array of modules for hanger bars, shelves, drawers, shoe shelves, laundry basket tilt-outs, and more.  Because there is a single separator "gable" or "partition" between the various modules, you build these in Chief with frameless settings, doing every odd one, and filling between with the shelf tool, then popping the rods as symbols, stretched to fit.

 

Arrangments like this can cost up to 25 grand per large walk-in, and somewhere along the line between foundation and final walkthrough, something needs to be put on paper to describe the specifics.

 

Are you doing any of these?

Hey Gene,
It really depends on the agreement—and whether interior work is part of it. Sometimes you just have to do what needs to be done, even if it leans more toward interior design than architecture.

Chief has the tools to handle just about anything, as shown here. It really comes down to how deep you want to go, and whether the client has paid for and expects that level of service.

Sometimes when creating a plan set, I just draw a cad line in the floorplan view and block the space for hanging and shelf space and in the estimate calculate for simple rod and shelf and then if the client wants to upgrade to fancier closet, then with their approval focus in on creating more detailed drawings/renders of the space.

I find the built in cabinet tools do a great job with a combination of the shelf, and for the rods (depending on their shape) I draw the profile then make 3D solid for rods.

 

Its mostly driven by what the client is looking for.

 

In other projects we build the space and have a closet organizer company come in and meet with the clients, and they provide detailed drawings of their products.
