Toe Kick Problem

[Gary Puckett]

I have tried everything from a display board to a display panel the toe kick will not come out the same color as the foot and the door.

The box is made out of Melamine and the toe kick looks like the color of the Melamine. The cabinet editor will not let me match texture on the Melamine. It will let me match texture with the display board/panel. I can not associate the display board/panel to the cabinet it will not let me.

When the cabinet is in the cabinet editor eveything looks good, it's when I render the drawing this color happens.

Any ideas.

Thanks
Gary

Gary, if you add a Display Panel to the Toe Kick, hilite it, right click, select texture match, then left click on the item you want to match. This should give you the look you're after . You cannot Texture Match a cabinet part, only Doors, Drawer Fronts and Display Parts, etc.

Rick,

Yes I do that when in the cabinet editor and it works fine. It's when I put the cabinet in the room is when this happens with the toe kick.

I did find a solution I have to create the display board in the room and place it on the toe kick. I still would like to know if there is something wrong with what i'm going or if this is just hoe the program works.

Gary,

If you create the toe kick in the cabinet editor and associate it to the cabinet you will only be able to texture match it in the cabinet editor.
If you create the kick in the room you will be able to texture match in the room.

Kerry,

I can place the display board on the toe kick and have it the right color in the cabinet editor.( It will not let me associate the display board to the cabinet.)

Then when I put the cabinet in the room and render the drawing it looks like it doen't keep the display board I made in the cabinet editor. I have to add the display board while in the room. Is this the way ithas to be done?

Gary,

To associate the display board or panel to your cabinet, make sure you first highlight the cabinet by double clicking on it (green outline of entire cabinet) then select the display board or panel by clicking on it (green hatch pattern) right click and associate the part to the cabinet.

Save your cabinet

Gary,

You have your display panel embeded into your toe kick. You need to bring it forward 3/4" so that it is infront of the toekick. One question though, Why not make the cabinets in two sections rather than four. It would be less material involved and less weight. Just a thought.

[Gary Puckett]

Thanks Damon,

How did you do it , where did you go to set the off set to 3/4?
Also I just didn't think of making 2 Cabinets Good idea

Have another question I never put a sink in a top before, and I am going to use the sink available in the sample files.

I thought I could go to Delta Cad make the oval save it as a DXF file and bring it over to eCabinets contor manager, but it won't show up. Any ideas?

Thanks
Gary
