I download the parts I need as *.step. You will need to joint the components. I usually rigid group them together because I don't need any movement.

Hi, I've gone a step further, I've imported hooks and parts for my model.
Can someone show me with a film how I can get the hinge mounted and can be opened, that would be great 🙂

The hinge accessory does not have any motion.  I added joints and motion to the hinge so you can use it to replace the one in your assembly if it suits.  Please note the one Joint I labeled "Hinge Limits" which you can adjust if I guess the hinge opening distance.  Hinge assembly is attached.

In the Screencast, which is rather long, I used As-Built Joints to add motion to the hinge.  As-Built Joints preserve the orientation of components to each other by placing the select joint between the origins of the two components.  It is not a type of joint you use in normal assembly but with the hinge, you want to keep the orientation of the components as you imported them.

As far as placement of the hinge between your cabinet and door, your model did not offer a suitable structure so I created a very simple assembly in order to demonstrate the hinge placement.  I am purely guessing on how your door is mounted, in relation to the cabinet, but I did it with an overlap flush mount.  Also I could not find instructions on the Blum site on how the mounting accessory hooked to the hinge so I just guessed.  Once you have the hinge in place, you can located screw holes and hinge cup cutouts.  Before you finalize these, you must secure a hinge, or find accurate instructions, to determine how the mounting accessory hooks to the hinge assembly.
