At this point in the project you have completed the building shell, interior walls, and floor slabs. This tutorial consists of adding fixtures, cabinetry, and changing the floor materials of the kitchen, bathrooms, and family room. You will also create detailed views (known as callouts) of some of the rooms.
Setting up the Kitchen Interior Elevations
This part will involve adding the cabinetry, appliances, and fixtures to the kitchen and garage. You will also create a custom countertop and modify the profile of a wall.
- Open the First Floor view.

Zoom in on the kitchen area.
- Before beginning to add the cabinetry and the appliances, this is a good time to set up interior elevations of the kitchen.
This way you will be able to see the elevation view of the cabinetry for each wall.
- Click on the Elevation tool in the View tab, Create panel.
