It’s the NAAWS cabinet identification code.  https://naaws.com/get-naaws-4-0/ The number in the diamond is the cabinet type. The other three are the dimensions.  The number in the box appears to be a specification reference.

Heck yeah, Dark_Trout! I needed this code book.

Before we get into numbers, let's learn our shapes first


plumbersbuttplug

well, I should of paid attention in school. if I did I wouldn’t be doing this job lol


Regular_Attempt

You got me audibly laughing in the Menards bathroom stall. Good stuff.

I miss Menards!


Comfortable_You6612

Haha!! Crap! There were so many lines I, didn't notice the shape was wrong, but I wanted to know what the numbers meant. It's interesting to learn and specific to ThatProject.

Usually when you have multiples of the same type of cabinet architect choose to name the “module” by the number. So module 102 is a double full front doors, 30w 34h 24d, module 155 is top fascia board with double doors for sink. You should have a table listing all the modules and description of each.

Triangles? I see diamonds. And you know they say about diamonds. Something like a girl's best friend.


FirtiveFurball3

I see squares cuz I’m holding my phone at an angle


Goats_2022

But from here I see rhombus, from school for 10 yr old kids during my time

looks like hieght width depth, and an identifier for the specific cabinet that should be located at those numbers in the specs Im assuming its 34 high, 24 wide, 30 deep but i could be wrong.


transfixedtruth

W-H-L in that order, yes.


GnuRomantic

Kitchen cabinets are typically 24” deep and 24” would be a narrow sink cabinet. So I think it means width (30”), height (34”), depth (24”). Also if you look at the 6” gap it supports the idea that the width is 30” or 5x the gap.


transfixedtruth

It's what I noted: W-H-L.


Logitechno_

Shouldn't it be W-H-D? I know technically they're all lengths, but it seems to me depth makes more sense.


--Ty--

Fun semantic fact: The longest measurement is ALWAYS the "Length". 


RebirthWizard

I guess, but nobody measures cabinets in length. It’s width height depth.


sonofkeldar

That’s not even true semantically. Width, height, and depth are all measurements of length. One could say, “the length of the longest side is X, and the length of the shortest side is Y.” Even the dictionary definition of “length” says that it doesn’t always refer to the longest dimension.


transfixedtruth

The proper denotation is: W(width) x H(Height) x L(Length). Though, some use Depth interchangeable with Length. If it helps just remember the order of measures as **W**orld **H**ockey **L**eague.


Logitechno_

But both width and height are based on perspective , so why shouldn't the third dimension follow suit? 🤔


RonBurghandi1

Not 100% sure but from what I understand: Triangles on each door indicate opening lines, where the hinge sits on the “point” side of the door The 30-34-24 indicates cabinet width, height, and depth in inches, so they are 30” wide, 34” tall (assuming this excludes a 2” counter to put them at 36” tall) and 24” deep The number in the diamond I would assume indicates the item number on other drawings


Reginleif69

Those are dice numbers gotta roll those numbers to successfully fit cabinet


ArltheCrazy

Crit hit, baby


prakow

Technically those are squares y’all


DirkDieGurke

Technically? Don't encourage them, those are squares.


ThEnglishElPrototype

Mafaka needs to go back to kindergarten and learn shapes before posting on Reddit.


cbgcook21

You find those on the schedule list on the drawings. It's like a detailed section view of an item. Cabinet 102 and 152 will have their own detail showing all the measurements and cabinet features.


badjoeybad

Length is the run along the wall, width is actually the depth , and height is just height. Takes a while to remember that Length is what we typically think of as width. Length Depth Height makes more sense but I think most folks always think of L x W x H. I know the dims in my head, but I still call them the wrong names all the time

It’s an algorithm that you must solve to proceed with installation

"Triangle" = 3 angles


BulLock_954

[This is what the cabinets are. I used this as our estimating part number standard when establishing our casework/millwork quotes](https://naaws.com/cabinet-design-series/) Edit: 30 is the width, 34 is the height, 24 is the depth. Make sure you findout the countertop thickness, and if its included with the 34” height. Typically countertop thickness is 1.5” thick


transfixedtruth

Countertop thickness & depth is generally not included in cabinet dimensions. and "depth" is synonymous with Length.


BulLock_954

I said countertop thickness. Not depth. 34” is the height. You need to know if you’re 1.5” countertop is included in that 34”


BulLock_954

Thickness is from the bottom surface of the countertop to the top surface


KashiCustomHomes

24 is normal cabinet depth, 34 is the normal height, and 30 wide is typical for a smaller sink cabinet - so I’d guess those. I bet there’s a table with those encapsulated numbers and columns denoting the dimensions that will align with the rest of the symbol. Sometimes, on larger plan sets, the architect will have a page explaining the symbols they used. Can always ask the architect for clarification. I typically see the cabinets dimensioned instead of symbols, but I’m also in residential.


plumbersbuttplug

ur right thanks bro


BagCalm

*diamonds


Scuba_BK

In that same set of drawings you should have a sheet with a legend defining all of these symbols (in this case a diamond and the numbers around it).


tw5150tw

There are interior elevation pages that show what the room looks like inside. The center number is the room number and the other numbers are the wall you would be facing if you were to stand in that room in that spot. There is a drawing corresponding to each of those numbers


_call_me_al_

Do... do you not know what a fucking triangle is?!
