I am designing a kitchen and I need more options than come in the Design Tool Catalog-imperial (using latest version of AutoCad Arch).  I have gone to some of the manufactuer's web sites like Kitchen Aid and got nowhere.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for replying!  I am looking for 3D: Pro style 48 inch wide range.  Ventilation hoods.  Induction style Cooktop.  Double oven unit.  Smaller sinks that would go in a kitchen island.   More options on counter top edges.  Auxillary refrigerator (24 or 30 " wide by 34 high).  Nice looking pendant lighting for over the sink and island.  Also the same level of interest for bathrooms.  Any and all help is appreciated.

You could take a look at Evermotion.org or Turbosquid.com and see what they have for sale. The only problem is that most of what you will find will be in either .max or .obj format, which is no good to you if you need to bring these models into Autocad. If you can find .3ds files, you can Import those into Autocad.
 
Your other option would be to either build the models yourself, or hire a freelancer to build them for you.
 
Take a look at these sites also.
They have free models available for download:

Jon, all ofthe items you mentioned can easily be made with autolisp.
These items can also be parametric so that a function that models sinks
will model all sinks. I have made a few models of sinks and refrigerators while playing around.  If you have information as to specific sizes I may be able to write a routine for you. I,m thinking a cabinet routine would be useful to you.

A lisp routine that can build 3D models? Confused
Accurate, detailed 3D models?
I think I would have to see it to believe it.
Can you post the routine that builds refrigerators? I just don't see how this is possible.

-Many thanks!
-I have not checked out all the web sites yet and thanks for the heads-up on kclcad being commercial. 
-So far:  I got a 48" wide range in 3D from the Thermador web site.   My computer moves extremely slow when handeling it but it works.  The 3D .dwg refrigerator from Subzero is probably 50 feet wide (I didn't check) in model space which I have set at 1'-0"=1'-0".  I have not figured out how to fix this problem.  What did I do wrong?
-Right now it looks like the real challange is going to be the ventilating hood which has to be 54 inches wide and wall mounted.  The style is going to be either Craftsman (mostly wood) or a modern stainless steel look.  I am really going to have to improve my skill level to create my own.  Where does one get advanced training?

Enroll in a class or buy books or training DVD's.
And practice, a lot.
