<p>A remodeled kitchen can add tremendous value to your home &#8212; not to mention providing you and your family with a great gathering place. <span id="more-1729"></span></p>
<p>If you have a kitchen design project in mind, plan3D will help you visualize it quickly in realistic 3D. Plan3D is a new generation of 3D software that gives you a real-time cinematic kitchen design. This kitchen design software <strong>automatically creates blueprints with dimensions for you</strong> &#8211; as well as elevations and overheads.</p>
<p>Before you purchase your cabinets, flooring or whatever else, see it in vivid 3D format, so that you know how it will look and feel before you waste time and money. Whatever your kitchen plans are, you can make them better with plan3D.</p>
<p>The online kitchen planner includes all the tools you need to design your kitchen. In addition, you don&#8217;t need any special training to put this great tool to use for yourself. Just add cabinets, dishwashers, countertops, cook tops and refrigerators with a few clicks of the mouse and rearrange them until you get exactly what you want. Choose from hundreds of wood finishes, tiles, Formicas, linoleums, paints, wallpapers, and trims to get a look that is just right. Drag and drop any image directly onto any surface in your plan. You get <strong>over 5,000 high-quality 3D furniture, appliances, countertops, sinks and other home-related design objects</strong> that you can use in your projects and view from any angle.</p>
<p>Everything can be scaled to the size you need. See your kitchen with every size refrigerators, stoves, cook tops, microwaves, freezers and other appliances.</p>
<p>You also get many textures that you can apply to furniture, walls, appliances, floors etc. Textures are images like fabrics, bricks, cement, wood, tiles, and so on.</p>
<p>Using plan3D kitchen design software you can work in different views at the same time. Whatever you do in one view affects the others. You get complete control of every surface in your interior design projects. Whether it&#8217;s a kitchen or any other room, you control the type of flooring, wall paint, furniture, artwork, windows, doors, and almost anything else you imagine. See, for example, how lights and shadows affect furniture and window placements.</p>
<p>You can print or export your results with detailed dimensions to emails and other programs. Thus, you could discuss them with architects, contractors or interior designers, which results in <strong>hours of saved time and reduced fees</strong>.</p>
<p>There is however, one drawback with regards to this online kitchen design program – it is not compatible with Linux or Macintosh Operating Systems.</p>
