Catalogue Editor


The Catalogue Editor, an optional add-on; a powerful tool designed for UK kitchen, bedroom and bathroom professionals. It allows you to create, customise and manage your own catalogues to match your products, construction methods and pricing. Perfect for bespoke manufacturers and design studios, the Catalogue Editor gives you full control over cabinet specifications, materials and components, ensuring your designs reflect exactly how you build and supply your kitchens.

  • Yes. Autokitchen uses the DWG file format, the native format of AutoCAD®. This means AutoCAD® drawings can be opened directly in Autokitchen, and Autokitchen projects can also be opened in AutoCAD®. Many UK kitchen, bedroom and bathroom designers use this workflow to create or import architectural layouts in AutoCAD® and then continue the detailed KBB design process within Autokitchen.

  • Yes. Once your kitchen, bedroom or bathroom design is complete, Autokitchen automatically generates detailed cabinet reports. These reports can be exported to Excel or sent directly to the Estimate pricing program, which is included with Autokitchen Pro. This allows UK designers and manufacturers to produce accurate component lists, quantities and pricing quickly and reliably.

  • Autokitchen works natively in 3D, allowing you to generate photorealistic kitchen, bedroom and bathroom renderings directly from your design with a single click. You can use automatic lighting or manually add and adjust different light sources, including spotlights and LED lighting. Materials and finishes can be applied easily by selecting from an extensive library of manufacturer-based materials, enabling accurate, realistic visuals that reflect your final specification.

  • Generic CAD software like AutoCAD® or SketchUp® is extremely powerful and flexible, making it suitable for a wide range of industries, from engineering and architecture to product and building design. However, when designing kitchens and bathrooms, these programs require designers to work manually with individual blocks and components. Every change must be adjusted element by element, which can be time-consuming and prone to inconsistency. Specialist kitchen and bathroom design software such as Autokitchen is built specifically for the KBB industry. It allows designers to create complete projects quickly using intelligent, parametric components that automatically adapt as the design evolves. Autokitchen also simplifies the production of professional documentation, including accurate plans, elevations, dimensions, cut lists and photorealistic renders. This purpose-built approach makes Autokitchen far more efficient and reliable for kitchen, bedroom and bathroom professionals who need precision, speed and consistent results.
