Radius - When you choose to fillet a radius, the software will automatically figure the intersection of the 2 lines and then
back off that many inches and ad the radius edge.
Chamfer - Like a radius, a chamfer will do the same only draw a chamfered edge connecting the 2 points with an angled
line.
Sharp Corner - This is the simplest of the 3 fillets. A sharp corner will simply extend the 2 drawn lines until they meet
forming a corner.
To add a Fillet:
1.
Click Fillet.
2.
Choose Radius, Chamfer or Sharp Corner. (If you choose Radius or Chamfer choose the size you want to use.
3.
Click OK.
4.
Click on the two lines you want to fillet. Once a line is selected it will turn gray.
When you are filleting a, any part of the lines that would normally extend past filleted intersection will be removed.
There is also a quick selection bar on the right side that offers you commonly used choices that can be edited by the
user.
2.52 Offset
To use the Offset feature:
1.
Click Offset.
2.
Enter the distance you want to offset.
3.
Select the line you want to offset. The line will turn gray showing it has been selected.
4.

2.53 Rotate
Once you have finished templating your job, you can use the Rotate feature to rotate it to be square with the surface
you are editing. This should be done before any object is dropped in like a sink or dishwasher.
1.
Click Rotate.
2.
Select the edge you want to be square. All other parts of the template will be rotated in relation to the selected
line.
It is very important that when you drop in any object like a sink that you rotate the edge that it will be sitting on. If it
is not, you will end up with the countertop edge and the drop-in not being parallel to each other. This is due to the
fact that the majority of cabinet bases and walls are not on a perfect 90º with each other. So if you are going to add
a sink and dishwasher you will need to:
1.
Rotate the front edge for the sink.
2.
Drop-in the sink.
3.
Rotate the front edge for the dishwasher.
4.
Drop-in the dishwasher.
