Wholesale change of cabinet wood type/color

Post by Donald Thomson »

Is there a way to wholesale change faceframes, doors and drawers faces to a new wood type and color in a custom room layout without having to edit each cabinet individually? I've searched this forum and checked the help manual and "the book" and haven't been able to find anything. Maybe I'm blind or can't see?

Don,

The closest thing I know of is in room editor right click, click on Select, then select all.
All cabinets should be high lighted.
Right click, click on Change Material. You can change all the sheet goods here.
I know in earlier versions I could change all the doors or drawer fronts.
And if you have face frame material set to match doors (somewhere, I forget where) the face frames will match the doors.
I can't find where to select all doors now. :wall:

1) Highlight all of the cabinets in the room, (Quickest way I find is to Drag a box around the entire room using the left mouse button)
2) Select "Adj. Features" from the Item Menu (On the right hand side of the screen)
3) Select the appropriate menu item

Select all the cabinets, then look in the Item Widnows for Adj. Features Tab.

Thanks everyone!

I was able to adjust door and drawers faces but it looks like I still need to take each cabinet into the CE to adjust exposed cabinet sides, crown molding and some PE parts I put in to the kitchen. But the feature edit did save a lot of time.

Don,

You can use Texture Match undet Edit Options to change crown and other display items. However, it will not change the species of wood in your cut list.
