Abstract
A method for designing a kitchen which automatically transfers the utility locations and required clearances in a kitchen layout to a subsequent kitchen layout when the designer makes design changes. First, the method allows a designer to input the location and clearance requirements of a utility. Cabinets are placed over the utilities and then portions of the cabinets are removed to accommodate the clearance holes. When the designer makes changes to the cabinet design, the location of the utilities as well as their clearance requirements remain as part of the layout information. When subsequent cabinets are placed in the design, portions of those cabinets are removed to accommodate the utility clearance requirements inputted earlier.
