KCL NapkinSketch allows you to design equipment layouts (floor plan, elevation, and 3D) using KCL’s more than 230,000 CAD blocks and Revit families from over 200 foodservice manufacturers without requiring a CAD or Revit program.
Commercial kitchen design without CAD
“KCL NapkinSketch allows you to capture that moment when foodservice design inspiration strikes and sketch your vision on your tablet or laptop to create a useful design that can be shared with colleagues and clients,” explains Kevin Kochman, president and co-founder of KCL. “Unlike a creative sketch on a paper napkin, KCL NapkinSketch designs won’t get lost, crumpled, or damaged.”
NapkinSketch designs are ready to use because you can load any of KCL’s 200+ manufacturer or user CAD blocks, manufacturer Revit families, 2D or 3D KCL Custom Blocks and then:
- Add text notes,
- View in 3D,
- Turn on/off layers, move, rotate, delete,
- Save as a PDF, DWG, JPG, or NPK, and
- Verify dimensions with a measuring tool.
The desktop version of KCL NapkinSketch includes additional features, such as the ability to drag and drop anyAutoCAD DWG file to help load walls or building drawings. See it in action here.
No CAD or Revit program? No problem!
NapkinSketches can be imported and exported for later editing. If they are saved as PDFs, they can be marked up in Adobe or Bluebeam.
As a salesperson, you can save your NapkinSketch as a DWG that can be opened in a CAD program for further refinement by your design team. KCL’s BIM/CAD Designer offers advanced tools such as Edit Balloons, Schedules and Specbook to complete the project.
With the ability to quickly create functional designs filled with accurate items and equipment dimensions, KCLNapkinSketch expedites the commercial kitchen sales to design process.
