While the floor editor serves its purpose well, the cabinet designing tool is where you will see PolyBoard's real strength. Once you're satisfied with your floor plan, you just need to hit the OK button and the program will load it onto the main interface. You can draw a floor plan and add walls in a top-down view mode, but you can also preview your floor in 3D on the same window. Floors and cabinets are designed on separate windows, where you will find all the editings tools you will need. The software starts you off with a blank space, on which you can add cabinets on a floor plan to see how they would look. There's no need to install any special tools or services before running it, and you won't notice any impact on your computer's performance. It comes in a small package, and it doesn't take long to install it. You can try the software for free, to see how it works. What's more, the program is capable of recalculating the cutting list and toolings in real time, whenever you make a modification, while keeping its dimensions, divisions structure, angles, slopes and other aspects into account. The software generates a manufacturing methods list, to help you build the cabinets you design.

Its purpose is to help you design cabinets in 2D and 3D, but it does much more than letting you draw lines in a blank space. At first glance, you wouldn't think too much of PolyBoard, but if you take a closer look, you will see that it can be a really useful tool to have around, especially if you're a carpenter.
