You need to add the drawers in the DBX editor. You cannot use the door/drawer editor area. Then you can add doors just like you normally would.

Or you could show the doors open by adding the doors manually with the drawers pulled out.

Leo,
Thanks, that worked well. It is funny you should answer this post. This cabinet is for a job for my brother Leo. :lol:

Damon,
If I were to do your way would the doors show up on the cut list?

Damon,

How do you get such a good clean look to your cabinets. I really like the way it looked in the posted picture.

What exactly are you talking about. This was just a basic cabinet with some pull outs. Give me some more details or post a picture of your layout and maybe I can see what your looking for. I am sure we can get you up to speed in a few simple steps. :)

you might even try changing some of your textures.

Damon,

I am talking about texture. I will try to change it. I am thinking that I am not sure how to do that. I will attempt it.

I would change the textures on your sheet goods, If they have a lot of grain, they seem to pop out at you too much. Go for a little more subtle grain pattern.

Damon,
aaaarrrrrhhhhh!!!! How do you change texture? I can change the pictures but everything is just as grainy. :wall: I think I am missing something. In the picture you posted on this post, is it part of ecabs or is it something you got elsewhere?

Go into ecabinets>Settings/preferences>Define Stock material>sheet type>sheet stock>

Then chose your sheet good that you want to change.

Click select image> scroll down to Hard maple or imported Images and you can choose an image that you like.
