Hi! I have seen our customers using skeletal modeling technique to build a kitchen. Basically you can create a skeletal part representing the basic structure of the kitchen. Then build other components based on this part in an assembly. Or, you can build entire kitchen in a part using multiple solid bodies or sketch blocks. Then push individual solids or sketch blocks as parts in an assembly.
Many thanks!

Intel HD Graphics 630 seems to me, that you're using a Notebook.
If there's another Graphics card built-in, you'd better switch over to this one. Should be adjustable in BIOS.

Hello @Anonymous are your kitchen projects all custom or do you have a specific set of design templates that you just want to fit other applications?
Is this for just the cabinets or are you wanting to model the sink, fridge, dishwasher, oven etc. to fit the job?
If I were going to start a kitchen design business I would use the Vault to manage files, customers, projects, materials, revisions, etc.
First gather/design all purchased pieces like appliances, hinges, handles, anything premade.
It will all depend on your manufacturing practices and how you are going to actually fabricate things. If it is modular it would be easier, but again custom designs each time will limit your repeatability of common/parametric parts.
Create your base cabinet design to whatever size specs you need, like a L base with counter and overhead cupboards.
Use iFeature to insert cuts that coincide with your specific purchased pieces, drawers, doors, etc.
Insert your bought parts into these spaces.
Add doors and drawers driven by parametric sizing. I have seen real fancy ways to do this using iLogic depending on your experience.
As you continue making kitchens your templates will grow. When you get a new bid you can find a finished job, create a copy, edit parametrically, and poof you're done.
Swap out components, lets say they have a standard cabinet door, replace with a fancy arch style, or glass inset.
The more you reuse components and standard manufacturing practices the more time you will save.
Hope that helps!

Hello @Anonymous
I create cabinets where i work. And i use iLogic on every model. So i can easily change the sizes of my models.
Unfortunately i can't attach model of one of our products.
But i have attached a model that i created once whilst bored. To see how i could apply iLogic to it.
I know it is not a cabinet, and a paint booth. But i thought maybe it could help you understand iLogic, and Multi Body a bit more.
And understand what iLogic and can do, and how you could apply it to your kitchen.
Open the, Paint Booth iLogic 5000 mm.iam
Then go to manage, in iLogic, select iLogic browser. Then select form, click Form 1. And then enter a size to see the model change size.
Hope this helps you a bit,
Thomas.
