New Material

[Gary Puckett]

How do make a beadboard material 4x8 that is resizeable so you can use it for backs of cabinets?

Thanks Gary

Gary,

In preferences create a Sheet Stock material that uses the bead board image then use that material for the backs.

Kerry,

Never could get the beadboard images to show up, so I tried making my own, I started with a 4x8 sheet of light weight MDF
made a beading tool , then made the 4x8 beadboard ,took that added it to my material list, took the sheet to the display part editor made it a JPG took that image to material list added the new image, anddddddddd it did not work .

So when I use beadboard for a back, side or what ever I have to make it to fit.

Kerry ,


I know that that is the best way , but could never get the beadboard images that I downloaded from the forum to show up.
So I was trying to make my own image. I

Also I did talk to thermwood team member about proposal problem.

I just did this on the fly. Copied an existing material and opened in image editor. Added some black parallel lines (mspaint will do this or paint.net is really good, free). Saved the new image and added as new in ecabs material dialog. Made new sheet stock using the new image. Edited standard cab and replaced the back with the new sheet stock . Result is attached. Use different colors for the parallel lines to get a more realistic beadboard look
