Blum drawers and accessories.

Installing.

Before you install the Blum drawers and accessories, you must make sure you have an up-to-date version of ArtiCAD installed.

Setup.

Before adding Blum units to your design you should click the "Blum Setup" button on the Utilities Window.

Adding units.

Blum internals are only available using the special Blum units.

Functional base units.

Functional tall base units.

Zone modules.

Functional Wall Unit.

You can mix Blum and non-Blum units on the same design.

Click the relevant button to add the unit onto your design. For example, clicking the "Functional base unit" button gives the following dialog:

Select the type of base you wish to add. Note that it shows the units with the drawers partially open. It will also show them open when you do a render.

Specify the properties of the unit as normal. If you wish to change how open, if at all, the drawers are shown, click "More...".

Modules.

Adding a module adds two or three units onto your design in one go.

There are two ways of adding modules to your design.

Click .

Click .

Both methods show the same dialog.

Choose the zone in the top-left box. This will change the selection available in the Available Module (top-right) box. Selecting a module change the image along the bottom of the dialog to show the units that make up that module. Click "OK" to add the selected module to your design. Note that once the module has been added it is treated as individual units. Also, some of the units making up the module may not be Blum units.

Customising units.

To change the Blum settings for a unit, highlight the unit and click the "Blum Customise" button on the Utilities window.

The options will vary depending on the type of unit.

Select the Zone and then select the required Application for each drawer. The "Play Movie" button will show a short video explaining the selected internal. Note the first time you do this it may ask you to install additional software - follow the onscreen instructions. Click "Apply" to accept the changes, or "Cancel" to keep the current settings.
