Getting Started: How to Use the 3D Cabinet Planner
Step-by-step walkthrough on creating your project, dropping in cabinet units, customizing dimensions to the millimeter, and viewing live pricing.
Welcome to the Top Line Furniture Flatpacks Online 3D planning portal! Our online software gives you trade-level control over your cabinet schedule without requiring any CAD software downloads or expensive license fees.
1. Accessing Your Workspace
Once your free account is active, log in at topline.cabinetry.online/v2/login. You will be greeted with your project dashboard where you can start a new room or continue an existing draft.
2. Setting Up Your Room Dimensions
- Click New Project and enter your room name (e.g. Main Kitchen, Pantry, Ensuite Vanity).
- Enter your perimeter wall lengths, ceiling height, and any known obstacles such as door frames, window openings, or bulkhead drops.
- Keep in mind that older Adelaide homes frequently have walls that are not square. Always allow at least 20mm to 50mm of filler allowance on each end of a cabinet run to scribe on site.
3. Adding Cabinets to Your Layout
From the left-hand catalog menu, you can browse:
- Base Units: 1-door, 2-door, corner L-shape, under-bench oven, and pull-out bin units.
- Drawer Banks: 2-drawer, 3-drawer, and 4-drawer stacks powered by genuine Blum soft-close runners.
- Overhead / Wall Cupboards: Single door, double door, and concealed rangehood units.
- Tall Pantries & Appliance Towers: Custom shelf spacing and integrated oven/microwave towers.
Drag and drop each unit onto your floorplan. You can adjust the width, depth, and height of every cabinet down to the individual millimeter.
4. Selecting Hardware & Finishes
All TLF Flatpacks come standard with:
- High-Moisture-Resistant (HMR) 16mm or 18mm Australian board.
- Solid 16mm backs (no cheap 3mm masonite that flexes or bows).
- Blum CLIP top BLUMOTION soft-close hinges.
- Heavy-duty adjustable feet for leveling on South Australia’s reactive soils.
5. Live Pricing & Instant Checkout
As you add or resize cabinets, your job total updates in real-time. There are no hidden fees or guesswork. When your schedule is complete, click Submit Order to send your files straight to our Mount Barker CNC routing machines.
