Take a trip to Home depot or lowes. The design is free, although measured drawings and such are not available until you are ready to purchase cabinets and such from them, but the preliminary sketches and things are.

They DO have state of the art software in use.

just divide your cm's by 2.54 to get inches

:Dtheres that "cm" again :D

the lowes program dead-ended on a bad link, onward to home depot!
thanks again

I didnt mean thier websites, I meant to go right down to the store. They will have a designer sit down with you and help.

I can't figure out why its hard to understand 10th's. But I suppose a 1/10th of a centimeter is no easier to comprehend than a 1/64th of an inch. :D :D

Don't brake Lowes website. :D :D

cheers

i knew what you meant, jeff. well, kinda. the closet home depot is 60 miles away. the websites were just a shot in the dark, but lowes actually made an attempt to take me to a free layout designer.

oh and ill be building it with a older cabnet maker friend, should be fun.

Guess I'm old fashioned but I'll take any part of an inch anytime over any kind of centimeter.

Probably more to do with familiarity and preference than being old fashioned. ;)

Had a neighbor lady come by onetime needing help with some conversions. She was wanting to vaccinate her llama but had a big problem. Her vaccine bottle gave the dosage in milliliters and her syringe was in cubic centimeters :D :D

I helped her convert the dosage to liters and the cc's to liters and she was just calculating away when she realized that a ml and a cc are the same ;D

She didn't think it was near as funny as I did :
