Hi Merlyn,
I am trying to download the kitchen module templates from CustomerHub, and I am sure this is operator error, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I click on "download" but there doesn't seem to be any sort of response. ??? Help

Hi Lisa,

I just found out the template downloads weren't working for the Kitchen Module. It is fixed now. You can download the manual to your computer or iPad.

Hi LIsa,
It was great to hear that you had no problem installing the update but the templates were not working. We have updated customer hub and the templates are now working to download.

[Debbie Green Sutherland]

Here is the link to CustomerHub to download the Kitchen Module Manual and finish templates. Download the manual to your computer or iPad. If you download to your iPad be sure to save in iBooks.

The Kitchen Module video and resources will be unlocked for everyone that has purchased the Kitchen Module.

Merlyn,
Would you be willing to share the template for that beautiful kitchen window you made with the arch top in the kitchen module video? I would love to use it!
I'm really enjoying the kitchen module. It's fabulous!

So happy to hear that you are enjoying the new module! I have attached the window in .mms format here. Because it's a composite of Studio windows and shapes, you will have to click a few times to change the line color. Group and save to your custom tab if you plan to use it more than once.

Hi Anna, I am unable to open the kitchen module in Studio online also--the program is not listed among the side tabs. Will you please check into this for me.
Thank you,
Carol Terry

[Merlyn]

the Kitchen Module is located under the Rooms tab - did you look there? please email techsupport@minutesmatter.com if you are still having trouble.

[Anna Davis]

Hi Monica, I am glad you are able to use the module now.

[Anna Davis]

Hi Carol, Just close your program and reopen and it should work fine.

[Carol Terry]

Thank you Merlyn and Anna for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Carol Terry

Kitchen Ergonomics - in our Proportions and Designing to Scale webinar we talked a bit about how good design relates to the human body. Nowhere is this more important than in the kitchen, the main workplace in the home. This article has some good information about planning kitchen work surfaces according to tasks and the ideal heights based on the dimensions of the people who will use the space.
