# Adjusting countertop overhangs

An important detail in your Matchless Cabinet plan is countertop overhangs, in the event that you are using our countertops.

By default, all countertops have:

- 3/4" overhang in front. *This is not adjustable in the planner and we recommend keeping this amount.*
- 1/2" on the left and right ends of a linear run of cabinets.
- No overhang in rear (flush with the cabinet back)

### Adjusting the side overhangs

Select the countertop section you wish to adjust, by clicking on it:  
![KB1](https://resources.matchlesscabinet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB1.jpg?width=670&height=424&name=KB1.jpg)

Click the "settings" icon for the countertop piece:  
![KB2](https://resources.matchlesscabinet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB2.jpg?width=670&height=424&name=KB2.jpg)

Adjust the values:  
![KB3](https://resources.matchlesscabinet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB3.jpg?width=670&height=424&name=KB3.jpg)

Expand the "Side Overhang" setting and adjust left/right overhangs by any amount up to 18in.

### Adjusting the rear overhangs

Rear overhang is adjusted slightly different than side overhangs. 

To begin, select **one** of the cabinets you wish to add rear overhang to, and then open that cabinet's settings:  
![KB4](https://resources.matchlesscabinet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB4.jpg?width=670&height=424&name=KB4.jpg)

Expand the "Countertop Back Overhang" option:  
![KB5](https://resources.matchlesscabinet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB5.jpg?width=670&height=424&name=KB5.jpg)

Choose the Standard Overhang (3/4" which matches the front) or non-standard to define any value up to 18in- simply type the value into the box.

Repeat per cabinet that requires this setting.
