Accessory placement, fit, and conflicts

Most accessory placement is a staged 3D operation. Choose the accessory first; choose its top-surface material, cushion fabric, or TROFAST variant when requested; then select one or more compatible markers in the model. Backsplash uses a focused editor because its material and dimensions are saved directly to one or more cabinets.

Read the placement markers#

• A green + is an available host.
• A check marks an existing or currently selected installation.
• An amber ! gives the exact reason the host is blocked.
• Done commits all selected placements as one undoable edit.
• X or Escape cancels the staged operation without changing the design.

A TROFAST marker blocked only by dimensions can offer Apply / Auto-fit. Accepting it resizes the bay and installs the product in one undo step. If the resize leaves a guided category’s prescribed dimensions, the cabinet can become Free Design.

Host and top-zone reference#

A cabinet top supporting more than one upper cabinet does not expose per-cabinet top markers because editing one support would make the shared support plane uneven. A supported single upper can still permit valid top accessories.

Hanging rail and wardrobe lift#

A fixed clothes rail needs at least 50 cm clear slot height, at least 45 cm cabinet depth, and both side panels. It cannot share its shelf gap with a visible drawer, Maximera internal drawer, wardrobe lift, or TROFAST.

In the bottom slot of an open-floor bay, the fixed rail's effective clear height reaches the room floor: the editor adds the removed bottom-panel thickness and the cabinet's base or leg lift to the solved shelf gap. This adjustment is only for the fixed rail.

The Häfele 805.11.154 wardrobe lift needs 88–127 cm clear width and at least 157.3 cm clear operating height. The operating height includes the stored mechanism and 69.3 cm of lowering travel. Its current rated load is 10 kg. It needs both side panels and an open bay or side-hinged door. Sliding, drop-front, lift-up, and drawer fronts are incompatible. A fixed rail, TROFAST, or drawer cannot occupy the same slot. Lower and Raise preview its movement without changing the saved design.

TROFAST sizes and installation clearance#

TROFAST needs both side panels and an open bay or side-hinged door. The required clear opening adds 1 cm width, 1 cm depth, and 2 cm height to the product. A door adds another 1.8 cm depth. Rotated orientation swaps product width and depth. Runner width must match within ±0.25 cm; merely making the bay much wider is not valid. TROFAST cannot share its slot with a drawer, hanging rail, or wardrobe lift. Pull out and Retract are movement previews.

Cushion and top surfaces#

A bay cushion must be in an open, shelf-free compartment at slot 0 and needs its bottom panel as support. It is 3.5 cm thick. A top cushion always spans the full cabinet width. Available fabrics are:

• Vienna polyester: Wood, Sand, Ivory, Icy, Ruby, Sun Orange, Blue Heaven, Dandelion, Grey, Mid Grey, Graphite, Silver Black, Chocolate, Titanium, Blue Jay.
• Clio synthetic leather: Khaki, Cappucino, Sepia.
• Jovi synthetic leather: Green Bottle, Cloud Cream, Beige, Black, Coffee, Dark Brown, Apricot, Nugget, Caramel, Hermes.

A new Top surface is a full-width cabinet-level surface, not a kitchen worktop mode. Choose a catalog laminate or stone color, thickness, and front overhang, then select an eligible cabinet top in the model. It can be created without a backsplash and configured or deleted later. Older saved standalone marble slabs remain loadable and can still be configured or deleted, but there is no separate new Marble tile for a bay.

A full-width top cushion can sit on a bare cabinet top or on one full-width top surface. It cannot sit on a partial saved slab, and it blocks other top accessories in that surface zone.

Grommets and independent backsplash#

A bay grommet needs that bay’s effective back panel. A top grommet uses one third of the cabinet top and cannot overlap another accessory in the same top third.

A Backsplash is independent from Top surface. It can be added directly above a bare cabinet; its lower edge starts at the cabinet top, or at the upper face of a Top surface when one exists. Choose its material, height, and thickness, then apply it to this cabinet or eligible connected lower cabinets. Each cabinet keeps its own backsplash record, and a new backsplash requires a workshop quote before production.

Saved scenes can still contain old kitchen worktops, backsplashes, appliance openings, or standalone Sink, Cooktop, and Refrigerator fixtures. These entries remain visible under Installed accessories for maintenance: saved surfaces can be configured or deleted, and saved openings or fixtures can be deleted. Removing a saved opening also removes its linked cutout. They are cleanup-only legacy data—new Sink, Cooktop, and Refrigerator authoring is not offered through Accessories, Function, or Free Design.

Category allowlists#

Top surface and Backsplash are cabinet-level actions, so they appear for any eligible straight lower cabinet rather than belonging to one category allowlist. A listed type can still be unavailable at a particular marker because its dimensions, panels, front, drawer slot, top stacking, or protected category purpose do not fit.

Select an installed accessory to change to a compatible family, change marble/cushion finish, change TROFAST size or orientation, preview movement, or delete it. A protected guided Function can block deletion of its defining accessory; use another Function or convert to Free Design. Prices are live catalog data and are intentionally not frozen in this guide.
