10/143

1.5 Installation / Activation

The program should be activated after installation. Activation should be carried out

within 30 days. After that the designer component can no longer be used. However the

registration can be implemented after 30 days. A detailed introduction for installation

and activation is available in the help document SelectionProf_Installation_EN.PDF .

2. First steps

2.1 Starting SelectionProfessional

The programme can be started from the desktop icon or by selecting

Start/Programmes/Selection/Selection Professionalwithin the programme.

The Selection Professional portal opens once the programme has been started.

Selection Professional is divided into several parts:

1) Start design component Designer & Hettich catalogue

2) Start design component Designer

3) Start Hettich catalogue

2.2 Programme components

1) Start design component Designer & Hettich catalogue

With this option, the designer, the CAD component and the catalogue in

background would be started. This is immediately available by accessing

favourites in the catalogue and does not need to be started anymore.

2) Start design component Designer

Here only the Designer + CAD component would be started. If the catalogue is

required only for a favourite query then it can be started later. The advantage lies

in the quick start and lesser consumption of the required system resources.

3) Start Hettich catalogue

Here only the Hettich catalogue would be started.

Please do not close any of these points while working with the program.


11/143



2.3 Example design

2.3.1 Starting and selecting a design

Once you have started the Designer from the start portal, you will see "Design

Assistant". The "New construction"option takes us to the construction selection window.

The basic types of the furniture you are going to design are shown in the construction

selection window. Selecting a "+" sign opens an option, "-" closes it again.

For the example design, let us select a "Standard cabinet / Single cabinet / Overlay".

The relevant dialog is opened at the bottom right by selecting "Carcase size".


12/143

Change the height to 820 (figures are always in mm, the unit of measure does not need

to be entered), width to 900.

Entered values do not have to be saved or confirmed by pressing Enter. You can switch

between the different input fields using the mouse.

Now select the "Bottom shelf"and enter the "120"in the "Height offset"field. This raises

the base by 120mm, with the sides continuing through to the floor.

The forward button takes you to the carcase division window.

2.3.2 Carcase division

The cabinet is displayed from the front and from the side. The Assistant shows all parts

that can be incorporated into the cabinet.


13/143



Insert centre panel

For the example design, let us use the "Insert centre panel" function to add the centre

panel. A new dialogue window opens at the bottom right.

The position of the centre panel is defined in the "Division"field. The position is set to600mm from the left by entering "600mm:1". The 600mm relate to the clear internal

width. The mm must always be included for divisioning. Division is the only field that

demands the "mm" unit of measure. The "1" represents a ratio and indicates the

remaining available space. Details on using the division function are also provided in

the section headed "Front and component divisioning".

The green ticks are used for confirming the

entries you make and for inserting the centrepanel.

Setting zones

As the next step, we are going to add a shelf. A so-called "Zone"

must be activated so that the system knows which side to fit the

shelf on. This is done by clicking the mouse inside the

appropriate section of the cabinet. As we are going to put a shelf

in the left-hand section / zone, this is the zone you must click the

mouse in. It is highlighted in green.

Details on the subject of zones and parts are provided in the

section headed "Zones and parts".


14/143

Inserting shelves

Select the "Insert shelf"function from the Assistant. A new dialog

window now opens at the bottom right. We are now going to

space three shelves apart at equal distances throughout the

zone. To do this, enter or select the number "3"from the menu.

This corresponds to a spacing of "1:1:1:1".

As before, the entry is confirmed with the green tick.

Inserting doors

As the next step, we are going to add the doors. To do this, you

must once again activate the left-hand zone with the mouse so

that it is displayed in green. Select "Insert doors" from the

Assistant. The dialogue window opens. Select "Standard door"as the door type. Select the "+"sign to obtain further details on

this door type. Two further options are opened: "Division" and

"Hinge". In "Division", select "Double door" from the

"Construction type"field. Options can be selected by clicking the

arrow to the right of the field. Finally, confirm your entries with

the green tick.

Inserting drawers

Now click on the right-hand zone, which is still blank, to activate

it. This zone is then displayed in green. From the Assistant,

select "Insert drawers".

The relevant dialogue opens. You can choose from a variety of

drawer types. In our example, we are going to select a "Wood-

box with internal drawer". This drawer is to be mounted on a

"Quadro runner". This option must, therefore, be selected too.

Use the "+"sign to select the "Division"option. Select three for

"Number". The fronts are distributed evenly throughout the

height. Entries are confirmed with the green tick.


15/143



Inserting handles

To insert handles, you must switch from zone mode (green) to the component mode

(red). This is done using the zone/component mode symbol.

After changing modes, the small front view turns from green to red.

Using the mouse, select the door fronts which are then displayed in red. Now select the

"Select knobs/handles function from the Assistant. A new dialogue opens. The entire

ProDecor product range is stored in the programme. In order to make a selection in

advance at this stage, let us choose a "Drilling distance"of "128"and "Stainless steel"

as the "Material". Define the "Insertion point" as "Top opposite hinge". As before,

confirm all entries with the green tick.

Using the mouse, now select the drawer front. This also turns red. Once again, select

the "Select knobs/handles" option. The dialogue opens. The drilling distance and the

materials can be accepted.

Set the "Insertion point" to "Centered". These entries, too, must be confirmed with the

green tick.

The finished cabinet is displayed from the front and side.

This completes the cabinet design process. Use the "forward button" to quit the

carcase divisioning section.


16/143

2.3.3 Article list / Catalogue selection

The top right-hand section of the next window displays all of the fitting groups required

for the carcase in the "Article list"(1).

There are two ways of assigning exact fittings to these fitting groups:

1) Selecting from Favourites

2) Selecting from the Hettich catalogue

In order to select a fitting from the favorites, a fittings group is initially typed into the item

list (2). Thereafter, the probable favorites-sets for this selection appear towards the

bottom right in the list of favorites (3). A favorites-set consists of a favorites-header

and one or more Hettich fittings. For e.g., for the concealed hinges fittings group, the

Intermat 9943 TH FIX hinge is offered with a suitable mounting plate. By typing the

favorites into the selection below the corresponding fittings set is assigned above the

fittings group (4).

If you wish to select a fitting from the full-length Hettich catalogue, select the "Use

catalogue selection" option instead of the Favourite (5). The relevant fitting group is

then selected from the catalogue.


17/143



For example, the following selection is carried out:

Pos. 1 Cup hinge > Favourite > Intermat 9943 TH Fix

Pos. 2 Cup hinge > Favourite > Intermat 9943 TH Fix

Pos. 3 Knobs and handles > Use catalogue

Pos. 8 Quadro runner > Favourite > Quadro V6/550

Pos. 11 Adjustable shelf > Favourite > Compartment shelf support for wooden

shelves

To position the fittings group handles and knobson Use catalogue selection, the

entry should be initially selected with the help of the mouse in the item list.

Subsequently the entry Use catalogue selection is selected in favorites.

The catalgue start is executed with the green check mark . The programme opensthe electronic Hettich catalogue and searches for suitable products under the handles

and knobsfittings group.

The catalogue now displays all handles that match the previously defined properties

(material + drilling distance).


18/143

Three symbols appear in front of the list:

Select accessories

Transfer to CAD

Detailed information

Select accessories

The accessories that are available for the main article are selected by clicking the

accessories symbol. A list of accessories shows all possible accessory types. If an

accessory is an article that is essential for the design, a red exclamation mark is set in

front of the relevant group. If you don't select an essential accessory article, the

programme automatically prompts you to do so.

Transfer to CAD

If you wish to select an article from the product list for the design, select the CAD

symbol. Add the relevant article to the article list.

Detailed information

If you require additional information on the product, click the "Detailed information"button to retrieve further details. From the detailed overview, you can also display the

accessory or transfer the article to the Designer.

In our example, we are going to select any random handle and click the Designer

transfer button.

The programme automatically adds the handle to the article selection list. For the next

item of furniture you design, there is no need to select the handle again but retrieve it

directly from Favourites.

The article list changes its colour from black to green. This completes the article

selection process. The item selection is thus complete and the entry of the item list is

fixed. If the selection for this entry is changed, it has to be selected in the item list using

the right mouse click. At the end it can again be released using change.

One can leave the item selection using the forward arrow.


19/143



The finished cabinet is displayed in 3D. You can now carry out a number of actions on

the cabinet.

2.3.4 AutoCAD display

The CAD / Roomplan function in the Assistant allows you to switch to the AutoCADmodule. The cabinet is displayed in a wire grid 3D perspective. Component

dimensioning is the most important function in the AutoCAD section of the programme.

Let us dimension the left outer side of the carcase automatically. To do this, change to

the top view using the symbol.

This is opened by clicking the "Dimension part"symbol (left). The cursor changes

into a rectangle. Using the rectangular cursor, now select the outer side. It is important

to select precisely the line that represents the outer side.

The component is automatically displayed with dimensions. It can be printed out orsaved in the 2D view.


20/143

The "Dimension part" symbol enables you to perform further dimensioning. Quit the

dimensioning mode by clicking the "Reverse dimensioning"symbol (right).

Click the "Switch to Designerbutton in the Assistant to quit the AutoCAD part of the

programme and return to the Designer in the 3D view. Nothing needs to be saved in the

AutoCAD part as this is all controlled through the Designer part.

section. The cabinet displayed below is to be divided into different sections.

So far, the cabinet has had three evenly spaced centre panels. We are now going to

add a construction shelf to all four resultant zones.


29/143



If you wish to activate several zones, they must be selected in succession. If you have

selected the wrong zone, it can be deactivated by selecting it a second time.

If several zones were addressed and only one needs to be activated, a double click in

the desired zone will deactivate all the other zones again.

If the other zones require to be activated, a right mouse click on the point Activat allzones in the menu will activate all cabinet domains simultaneously.

You can insert a construction shelf once all zones have been activated (green). The

data for the construction shelf now applies equally to all four zones. The construction

shelf will be inserted in all four zones.

Inserting the construction shelves has formed new zones. The cabinet now has a total

of eight zones. Four drawers are now going to be inserted in the top zones. As we want

all of the drawers to be the same, they can all be highlighted in one go. The drawers are

then selected from the menu and automatically inserted in the zones. It is important to

remember that drawers can only be inserted simultaneously if the zones are identical in

size.


30/143

Loose shelves are now going to be added across all four bottom zones. To do this, you

must once again activate all four zones and select the shelves from the Assistant.

Unlike construction shelves, loose shelves do not form zones.

Now we are going to insert doors in the right and left-hand zone. As this requires the

use of a left-hinged and a right-hinged door, they must be selected separately.

Highlight the zones individually and insert the appropriate door in each. Let us now

insert a double door in the middle. To do this, both zones can be selected

simultaneously. After selecting the door function, a double door will be inserted

automatically. If you activate several zones, the programme automatically tries to insert

one door across all zones. If, added together, the zones are wider than 600mm, adouble door will be inserted automatically.


31/143



The cabinet is now equipped with all elements. This is the point at which to select the

handles for the fronts. To do this, you must click the "Zone mode/Component mode"

to switch to the component mode (red). First, select all drawer fronts so that all

four are displayed in red. Using the "Select/change knobs/handles" function, assign a

handle to all drawers.

Now highlighted in red, all drawers are fitted with the handles. In the "Insertion point

Top opposite hinge"handle setting, the programme automatically places the handles in

the correct position.

3.5.2 Changing, deleting, hiding parts

Any mistake that is made while configuring the cabinet can be corrected at a later stage.

You can also subsequently change any part already inserted.

Example of how to change handles

In our example, we want to relocate the handles from a centred position to the upper

mid-point. To do this, switch to the component mode (red) and select all drawer fronts.

Now press the right mouse button and select the "Change knob/handle" option. The

handle dialogue opens, allowing you to re-position the insertion point. You could, ofcourse, also have changed other options.

Example of how to change the side on which a door is hinged

The right-hand door is to be hinged on the left side. To do this, select the door in the

component mode and press the right mouse button. From the dialog, select the

"Change part"option. The door dialogue opens, allowing you to change the design to

"Hinge left".


32/143

Example of how to delete a shelf

To delete a component, it must be selected in the component mode. However, you

cannot select the shelf directly because the door is in front of it. By pressing the right

mouse button, select the "Show front panel"option. After removing the tick, the fronts

will be hidden. They are not deleted, but merely no longer visible. Now, in the

component mode, you can select the shelf you want to delete. Remember here that if

several shelves were inserted together, they will also be deleted together. This is

always the case for elements that are inserted simultaneously.

Summary

The zone selection function (green) is used for selecting cabinet sections for equipping

with doors, drawers, shelves etc.

Component selection function (red) is used for changing or deleting components

already inserted. It is also required for selecting handles.

In the component mode, the right mouse button can be used to perform different

functions:

Activate zones Changes over to zone selection. Performs the same

action as the zone/component selection button

3.6 Front and component divisioning

A carcase needs to be divided into sections or ratios in many different parts. The drawer

front, for example, must be divided up into different height ratios. Centre panels must be

spaced apart by internal widths. The hole lines are arranged in relation to depth andheight. Cup drillings are positioned in the front.

Selection provides one single function for all of these operations: Division. This is used

for performing all the necessary functions.

Divisioning works with exact dimensions or ratios. These two options can also be

combined."1:1:1" is a division that splits a section into two equal parts.

"200mm:200mm:100mm" divides a 500mm section into parts at the distances specified.

200mm:1:1 divides a part in the lower or left section at exactly 200mm, the remainder

into two equal halves.

With this, partitions are always undertaken from left to right (e.g. centre panels), bottom

to top (e.g. drawers) or from front to rear (e.g. hole lines).

Below, you will find a number of divisioning examples. They may also be applied to

divisioning in other application areas.


34/143

Hole-line division

A division can be used to position the hole line in terms of depth.

Default setting: 37mm:1:37mm

The first hole line now starts at 37mm from the front edge of the cabinet side, the

second hole line starts at 37mm from the interior of the rear panel.

The inclusion of ":1:" shows that the depth of the cabinet is unimportant. Even if the

cabinet depth were to change, the dimensions of 37mm from the front and 37mm from

the back stay as they are. The ":1:"may be regarded as a variable placeholder.

If you wish to insert a third hole line exactly mid-way between the other two hole lines,

enter the following division:

"37mm:1:1:37mm"

Each : is present for a hole line.

Top panel / connector divisioning

Connectors can be set for the top and bottom panel.

The standard setting for "Connector division" is "37mm:1:37mm". This shows that theconnection is located exactly on the hole line. By changing the divisioning, you can, for

example, insert additional connectors.

Centre panel divisioning

Through the "Division", a centre panel divides a selected carcase zone from left to right.

A 1:1:1:1 divisioning inserts three centre

panels. The internal widths between individual

panels are identical.


35/143



Die Aufteilung 300mm:1:1:300mm fgt

ebenfalls drei Mittelseiten ein. Die erste und

die letzte Zonen haben eine lichte Breite von

300mm. Both inner zones are automatically

divided equally.

Construction shelf divisioning

Construction shelves are divided from bottom to top. Once inserted, they form new

zones. The reference point for a construction shelf is therefore the bottom shelf or a

construction shelf that has already been inserted. For the construction panels the insideheight is defined between the bottom panels.

A 300mm:200mm:1 divisioning inserts two

construction shelves. The inside distance of

the bottom construction panel to bottom panel

is 300mm and the inside distance between the

bottom construction panel and the top

construction panel is 200mm. The insidedistance between the top construction panel

and the top panel is calculated from the

remainder.


36/143

Drawer divisioning

Drawers are divided from bottom to top. Divisioning relates to the dimensions of the

front.

3.7 Item lists and favorites lists

After the definition and partitioning of the cabinet is complete, the fittings should be

allocated. This is carried out in the item list/favorites list section.

In this section the preassembled cabinet is examined on the basis of the available

fittings group. Subsequently the potential fittings can be allocated through the favorites

list or the catalogue selection of the corresponding fittings group.

It is sub divided into item list (1), favorites list (2) and front view of the cabinet (3).

3.7.1 Item list

All fittings group available in the cabinet are present in the item list (1). In the sample

cabinet three complete drawers are fitted with one handle each. This leads to the

formation of 3 fittings groups, one group Handles and knobsand 2 groups Three sided

drawer system.

If fittings groups can be merged together, based on their similarity, then they are

grouped, e.g. the fittings group Handles and knobs. For preassembled drawers the top

drawer is considerably lower than the remaining two, which is why only the two lower

drawers are grouped. The top drawer receives its individual fittings group. In contrast to

both the lower drawers, no front pullouts can be fitted into the top drawer.

To switch off the grouping the right mouse button is clicked anywhere in the item list.

The menu which is opened as a result displays the entry group positioning with a

check mark, which means that the grouping is active. The grouping is switched off by

clicking on the entry and all fittings groups in the item list are shown individually. To

reactivate the grouping, the entry group positioning is clicked again. By switching offthe grouping, different fittings can be allocated to the individual fittings groups.


38/143

If a fittings group is clicked on in the item list, the corresponding components in the front

view of the cabinet (3) are highlighted in red and the first favorites set is automatically

selected. To assign the desired fitting from catalogue selection the coreesponding

fittings group should be placed on Use catalogue selection. Subsequently the

catalogue selection can be started with the green check mark .

In order to operate the catalogue selection it is necessary to start the Hettich catalogue.

If only the design component Designer is started without the Hettich catalogue, the

following message would be displayed.

This question must be confirmed with a yes, so that the Hettich catalogue gets started.

If the field Do not display this dialog again is activated, then this dialogue will not

appear in future and the catalogue will start immediately.

After the catalogue browser is started, the following dialog would be displayed.

This dialogue must be confirmed with continueto display the catalogue selection.

After closing the catalogue selection, the fittings group is displayed in green in the item

list. This shows that this entry cannot be changed directly. If a new fitting requires to be

assigned to this entry, it should be activated again. For this purpose the fittings group,which needs to be modified is clicked with the right mouse button. With the help of the

entry Modify in the menu, this fittings group can be activated again. The entry is

displayed in black again and a new fitting or favorite can be allocated to it again.


39/143



3.7.2 The favorite list

All fittings, which were selected in the previous catalogue selection, are saved in

favorite sets in the favorite list (2). A favorite set consists of a header and one or more

fittings, which were selected during the respective catalogue selection.

If a fittings group is clicked in the item list, then all possible favorite sets for thispositioning are displayed in the favorites list and the first favorite set is automatically

assigned to the fittings group. If any other favorites set should be assigned to the fittings

group, it should be clicked in the favorites list.

In order to view the contents in the individual favorite sets, the entry can be expanded

with the help of the plus symbol. A favorite set cannot be modified. If a fitting does not

match with a set, then a new favorites set can be selected from the catalogue selection.

A favorites set can only be deleted or renamed. However this functions only if the

fittings group in the item list is not displayed in green. The fittings group should first be

activated with the Modifyoption in the menu. If the fittings group and the favorites are

displayed in black, the individual favorites sets can be deleted or renamed. For this

purpose the corresponding entry is clisked upon with the right mouse button and the

desired point is selected in the menu. If the favorites set should be renamed, then only

the header of the set is changed.

component mode (red). After the components are chosen, go to Select/change

locks/locking systems in the wizard. A dialog box opens.

Front type: The locks can be fitted on the front in different positions. To simplify

the choice, a front type (e.g. drawer) should be chosen first. Thus,

only the options that fit this type of front will be available.

Lock type: A type of lock is chosen

Screw-on lock Cylinder rotating bar

lock

Slam lock Lever lock

Push bar lock None No lock

Backset: Depending on lock type, a backset can be chosen.

The backset (x1) is calculated from the centre of the

lock to the outside edge of the lock housing.

The actual lock dimension of the front (x2) is

calculated from the backset value (x1) + length of bolt

+ locking angle (x3).

Lock position (x2) in the front = x1 + x3 + overlay

Some lock types have no backset.

For a double swivel door, an espagnolette lock and

a push bar lock, the position of the lock can be

freely determined. For an espagnolette lock, a back

set may be selected; the actual positioning is

however carried out on entering the X-distance.

Example: Backset = 15, dimension X = 50

If the chosen x value is too small, the minimum

value is used automatically.

Insertion point: The insertion point determines the lock position. This works

on the same logic as the insertion of handles.

Choice of lock reference with several components

It is possible to fit a double door or several drawers simultaneously. In this case, it is

important that the right component for the positioning of the lock is chosen. After the

option Select/change locks/locking systems is chosen, all components (red) are

highlighted. Click on the various components to deselect (blue) or reselect (red) them.

The chosen locking system is only fitted to the selected components.

The selected locking system can be built in for the activated components only.
