OK, finally I understand, thanks Dan. It looks like I will have to take every cabinet from the room into the editor one at a time and do a global settings, but that is faster than redrawing all of the cabs. I was hoping the global setings would change the whole room. Guess I was asking a little much!! :oops: Thanks again all of you guys for the input - you rock!!

If I understood your questions correctly, you shouldn't have to rebuild the entire cabinet
I guess I didn't read your post close unough, you are exactly correct. Again, I was hoping to be able to change the entire kitchen at once, but this is OK too. Thanks for the help!

That is something everyone would love to see...not just change a room, but the ability to change your entire library in one fell swoop instead of having to bring each cabinet into the editor and save it after making changes.

Well Tony, you can change all the sheet materials, Pull up your kitchen and go into DESIGN ROOM screen, then right click, go down to CHANGE MATERIALS, click and choose sheet stock. There your current sheet stock will show up and if you have an alternate sheet stock set up with the settings that you want, click on the new material and let it rebuild the cabinets.
It will take a few minutes to do this.
