The SketchUp Show #60 - Universal Design with Linda Knapp (Part1)

Mike Tadros and Linda Knapp review a kitchen designed to adhere to universal access guidelines. Linda is an expert in the field of universal design; she's a designer with Kraftmaid Cabinetry and has worked on a number of kitchens for Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Mike and Linda tour a kitchen model designed to accommodate people with special accessibility needs. Google SketchUp is used as a tool to visualize the different options, features and benefits. Linda introduces a number of universal access features of this particular kitchen, such as using 12" deep wall cabinets as a base cabinet for easy reach. Mike explains various SketchUp tools to use for modeling and presenting your designs to clients. For example, he uses the Walk tool to explore the model at wheelchair height, and mounts touch kitchen sink faucets on back or side of the sink.

@moucon unfortunately, the 3D warehouse is not yet able to manifest particles from the ether and output them as real products from your printer. but i'm sure there's someone out there who's trying hard to turn that vision into a reality. maybe someday...

Mike -

I'm having trouble finding cabinets with these clearances at my local lumberyard. I'd like to download the actual cabinets to my jobsite. I went to the 3D warehouse but all I could find were more SketchUp models - I need the actual cabinets as the job is scheduled to finish in two weeks. I'm thinking that downloading would save shipping costs and also time. Do you know if the 3D Warehouse stocks these models or are they special order ? Thanks!
