What is the easiest way to make up wainscotting panels in the software. I've been using display panels and display boards but this is a very slow process.

you can take a cabinet and inset the doors, make the cabinet 3/4 deep. Delete all the parts other than the face frame and doors. Then you can use it as wainscoting and resize it as well.

Paul,
Here and Here are a couple of other threads that discuss this.

I did something similar creating a door.
Don't know how useful it would be, but I made the faceframes puzzlejoint, added a 1/4" thick inset door with negative reveals....performed a few part editor cuts and constrained them. The result is a puzzle-joint door that is re-sizable. The only drawback is you can see the puzzle-joint from the back of the door.

The only person that will be inspecting the back of the door is the mother-in-law.

Damon,
That is the way these paneled wall were done.

I have even started building wainscot this way. I make my cabinets 1\" thick so I can inset the door enough to leave a quarter inch reveal on the front and then I apply a 3/8\" bead or other panel molding to dress it up a bit more. This makes for a spectacular panel. I can build the doors using a more narrow stile and rail or order doors over sized sot cut the stile and rail down so it doesn't really look like I inset a door.

Great Minds think alike.

That kind of a scary assumption on my part.
