Cabinet/Closet Suite is modular and integrated to support the design and woodworking shop at every level, so the user can buy or rent the suite at any level, and add on features later.
The user starts the program by renting Cabinet/Closet Designer at a monthly price. It comes with the Design Studio with its Custom Library Creator and it instantly creates elevations, floor plans and 3D renderings. Rental is $95/ month, and the user can stop and start renting the program on an “as needed” basis – with no obligation to purchase. If the user decides to purchase the program, KCD says it will apply a portion of the rental amount paid, to the purchase price.
To prepare standard or custom contracts, proposals and estimates quickly, the Design Professional feature can be added to the Designer rental for a small onetime fee.
To avoid costly construction errors – go directly from design measurements to cutlist. Cutlisting also can be added to the Designer rental for a small onetime fee.
Another option is to combine the features of Cabinet/Closet Designer, Design Professional and Builder into one program for a onetime fee. Cabinet/Closet Workshop is a popular choice for custom shops and contractors and it is available for $95/ month, KCD says.
Additionally, the user can go directly into manufacturing and building with CNC Linker or CNC Commander’s One- Button Machining for a one-time fee and additional monthly rental charge. Each full-version rental includes free technical support and customer service to help the user get up-and running with the software.
