Kitchen sink CAD blocks, cabinets and kitchen elevations
Kitchen sink CAD blocks for kitchens, kitchenettes and utility rooms, 50 of them: single, double, one-and-a-half and triple bowl sinks, sinks with drainboards, sink tops and faucets in plan; sections that show the faucet and the waste; base and wall cabinets in elevation, the sink base among them; and a whole kitchen run in elevation and in section, with a figure at the sink. Each is drawn 1:1 and comes as DWG and DXF in meters and in inches, SVG and PNG; 35 also in front and side elevation, and 35 as a 3D model in STEP, OBJ, GLB, 3MF and STL. Counting each view and each 3D model on its own, the library holds 155 blocks.

About the kitchen sinks library
What is in the library
155 blocks of 10 kinds, every one drawn from a real piece at full size; the sizes below are the drawings' own, in feet and inches (switch units at the top of the page). By feature: 17 with a faucet drawn with the sink, 13 with a drainboard, 7 with ribbed, slotted or fan-ribbed drainers, 5 with curved or rounded bowls, 4 with an upstand or a rear ledge, 4 with a tap hole or an accessory slot. The table gives the sinks drawn in plan; the other 14 blocks are faucets, sections and elevations, sized on their own pages.

Rooms you can plan with them
Kitchens of every size, from a studio kitchenette to a family kitchen with a double bowl, and the rooms that share their plumbing: utility and laundry rooms, office break rooms, wet bars. A sink sits in a base cabinet under a counter about 36 in (90 cm) high; how it meets the counter, dropped in on its rim or hung under the stone, decides the cut-out and the cabinet below. The three runs above are built that way from blocks of this library, at real size: the drop-in run 6' 5" × 2' 1", the undermount run 6' 11" × 2' 1" and the kitchenette run 4' 11" × 23½".
Planning numbers that work for most kitchens: a sink base 3 in (8 cm) or more wider than the sink; at least 24 in (60 cm) of counter on one side of the sink and 18 in (45 cm) on the other; the dishwasher next to the sink, within 36 in (90 cm) of it; and the front of the sink 2 to 3 in (5 to 8 cm) back from the counter edge, so you can lean in without the rim in your hips. The runs here use 24 in (60 cm) deep cabinets under a 25 in (63.5 cm) counter.
Questions
What size is a standard kitchen sink?
The 10 double-bowl sinks in this library measure 2' 2" to 2' 10" (65 cm to 87 cm) wide and 16½" to 19½" (42 cm to 50 cm) deep; the single bowls 19½" to 2' 1" (49 cm to 64 cm) wide; the sinks with a drainboard 2' 7" to 4' 11" (80 cm to 1.50 m) wide. In the US the most common double-bowl sink is 33 by 22 in (84 by 56 cm).
What size sink base cabinet do I need?
A sink base about 3 in (8 cm) wider than the sink: a 30 in (76 cm) sink in a 33 in (84 cm) base, a 33 in (84 cm) sink in a 36 in (91 cm) base. For an undermount sink, check that the bowls, not the flange, clear the inside of the cabinet. A drop-in sink with a drainboard can be wider than its base: the drainboard rests on the counter over the next cabinet.
Do the sinks come in 3D and elevation?
Yes: the 35 sinks drawn in plan come as 3D models, with a front and a side elevation projected from them, so the three views match to the millimeter. Each has its drain where the plan shows it, the strainer and the overflow, and the waste below. The other 15 pages are faucets, sections and elevations in 2D, the whole kitchen run among them.
Can I use them in Revit, SketchUp or Blender?
Yes. The DWG and DXF blocks import into Revit, ArchiCAD, SketchUp and any CAD program as 2D linework. The 3D sinks come as OBJ and GLB for Blender, 3ds Max and Twinmotion; STEP for Fusion, SolidWorks and FreeCAD; STL and 3MF for 3D printing.
Are they free for commercial projects?
Yes. Every file is free for personal and commercial work, with no account and no watermark.
How designers use these blocks
- Kitchen plans and cabinet layoutsDrop the plan blocks onto a counter run to size the sink base, check the landing space on each side and the dishwasher next to it. They are drawn 1:1, so a sink that fits on the drawing fits the cabinet.
- Elevations and sections35 sinks come with a front and a side elevation projected from their 3D model, and the library adds sections and elevations with the faucet, the trap and the supply lines: for cabinet elevations, millwork shop drawings and plumbing details.
- Whole-kitchen elevationsA straight kitchen run 11 ft 6 in (3.51 m) long, with the cooktop, the chimney hood, base and wall cabinets and the sink, and a section through it with a figure at the sink under a pendant light: a base to adapt for interior elevations and presentation sections rather than redraw.
- Plumbing coordinationEvery 3D sink has its drain exactly where the plan shows it, with the strainer, the overflow and the waste below the bowl, so a section through the counter shows where the trap and the tailpiece go.
- Presentation drawingsSVG and PNG for rendered kitchen plans in Illustrator, Photoshop, Figma or Canva: shade the bowls, add the counter, and use them on client boards.
- BIM and other CAD programsThe DWG and DXF blocks import or link into Revit, ArchiCAD, Vectorworks, BricsCAD and SketchUp as 2D linework for plans and elevations.
- 3D and scale models35 sinks come as 3D models: OBJ and GLB for Blender, 3ds Max, Twinmotion and Unity, STEP for Fusion, SolidWorks and FreeCAD, and 3MF or STL to print a kitchen at 1:20 or 1:50.
