KIMA drawer generator

1

Create a drawer

Start KIMA drawer generator in PYTHA. The main window contains the drawer data and ordering options. Some of the most recently used settings are reused within the project.

Reference — a recognisable name for the drawer. This reference is also included in the webshop export.
Select the drawer model — choose Drawer, Internal drawer C-handle or Internal drawer full front.
Setback in mm — only relevant for the regular Drawer model.
Main material and Bottom material — the available thicknesses are automatically restricted according to the selected material.

Internal cabinet width, direction and position

Use Select width, direction and origin to select three points in the model:

Left side at the front of the internal cabinet.
Right side at the front of the internal cabinet. PYTHA uses these two points to calculate the internal cabinet width and rotation.
Bottom of the cabinet. The Z value of this third point is used to determine the vertical position.

An internal cabinet width below 214 mm is rejected. Below 250 mm, the plugin displays a warning that the visual representation may be less accurate.

Manual input

With Manual input, the internal cabinet width, origin and rotation can be entered manually. This is useful when the width is already known or when you want to correct the position without selecting the three points again.

Height, depth and ordering options

Dimensions

The available heights depend on the selected main material. Nominal depth can be selected from 250 to 750 mm, using the depth options provided by the plugin.

Generated geometry may differ slightly from the nominal dimensions depending on drawer type and material; the plugin applies the correct construction automatically.

Extra order options

Drawer slide
Tip-on set
Fittings mounted
Movento depth adjusters
Synchronisation rod
Filler profile(s)

When a Tip-on drawer slide is selected, the plugin disables the separate Tip-on set and synchronisation rod. Available options are also restricted according to nominal depth and internal cabinet width.

5

Filler profiles

Enable Filler profile(s) to select the left side, right side or both sides. Available colours are White, Oriongrey and Black. The plugin automatically deducts the required space from the width used to build the drawer: 25 mm for each selected side.
