Behavior

This rule checks if several types (normal, moulded & mounted) of sinks and hobs are in the correct distance relative to each other. The operation checks are side by side, front of the worktop and topside, in order to prevent the user from creating an invalid kitchen.


Trigger Conditions

It is triggered if a sink does not respect the minimum distance in millimeters with the operations mentioned above for the current kitchen configuration. The application warns to modify the position of the sink.


Affected Products

The rule affects the following products:

  • Cooktop products must have a closed tag Cooktops.
  • Sink products must have a closed tag Sinks.
  • Sinks must have a sinkMounting parameter with a value of 3 to detect a sink with the type "Belfast".

Overload Parameter

Key nameTypeDefault valueDescription
minDistancenumber50This parameter defines the necessary minimum distance for a cut-out of sink/hob and another sink/hob mounted side by side. Mandatory.

Illustration

Case 1 – Sink & hob combinations

The distance between the cut-out for hob with a cut-out for sink mounted is too small, the rule is triggered and informs the user to change the position of one of these appliances.

Cut-out hob and sink too close

Once the user has moved one of these elements (sink or hob) away from the hob to a distance greater than or equal to 50 mm (the overload value in this example).

Cut-out hob and sink too close

After clicking Refresh the check on the Help center, the design is now error free.

Case 2 – Sink & front of the worktop

The distance between the cut-out for a sink/hob and the front of the worktop is too small, the rule is triggered and informs the user to change the position of the sink/hob.

Cut-out hob and sink too close

Once the user has moved the cut-out of the sink away from the hob to a distance greater than or equal to 60 mm (the overload value in this example).

Cut-out hob and sink too close

After clicking Refresh the check on the Help center, the design is now error free.

Case 3 – Mounted sink and hob-topside

The distance between the cut-out of the mounted sink and the cut-out of the hob is too small (in topside configuration), the rule is triggered and informs the user to change the position of one of these elements.

Cut-out hob and sink too close

Once the user has moved the mounted sink away from the hob to a distance greater than or equal to 70 mm (the overload value in this example).

Cut-out hob and sink too close

After clicking Refresh the check on the Help center, the design is now error free.
