## This article shows you how to use the editor to draw a casework

![DrawCasework](https://help.archilogic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DrawCasework.gif?width=688&height=375&name=DrawCasework.gif)

To draw a casework, you have to first open an Archilogic floor plan model in the editor. Make sure to [unlock structural editing](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/how-to-unlock-structural-editing?hsLang=en) first.

Once structural editing has been unlocked, open the structural editing dropdown and select the **Casework drawing tool**. Alternatively, you can also use the "**CA**" shortcut to select the casework drawing tool.

Start drawing a casework by left-clicking into the canvas and moving your mouse cursor to the desired position. Left-click again to place the casework.

Select the casework by **left-clicking** it to access additional drawing options in the inspector panel on the right side of the window.

### 1. Details

In the details section, you can find the unique ID of the casework object. You can't edit the ID, but you can use it to, for example, access it through the API.

### 2. Position

With the **X** and **Z** values, you can change the position of the casework in the X and Z axes, respectively, while the **Base level** value allows you to adjust the distance of the casework from the floor. The **Rotation** value allows you to rotate the casework object.

### 3. Dimensions

The **Height** value allows you to control how high the casework should be, while the **Length** value determines the length of the casework. With the **Width** value, you can adjust the overall width of the casework.

### 4. Default attributes

In the default attributes section, you can assign a custom ID to the casework object.

### 5. Materials

Here you can select a material for your casework to give it a different color and look. Left-click the drop-down menu and choose one of the preset materials.
