Load a cabinet and delete everything but the top. Now save this as a .hsf file. Go to the display part editor and load this file. Now, In the display part editor you will adjust the red blue and green colors as well as the gloss, specular, and mirror bars. Check the box for transmission on and no mapping. Once you have the image you are wanting, save the file. Below is an example.

Re: Glass panels
In the training class,
1. We installed an adjustable shelf.
2. Left-click on the shelf. (no need to delete parts)
3. Choose Export Selection from the drop-down menu under file. This will force you to either save or not save the file. The shelf is no longer needed.
a. We created and save it to a folder in the Import directory.
4. Select the Display Part Editor icon. (The mug/stein)
a. Change to no mapping. The part changes to black.
b. Click on the check box for Transmission On.
c. In the class we set the RGB values to 255,255,255 then worked our way down to the color desired.
d. Save the part. Be sure to use the SAVE button on the left-side. Not the diskette at the top.
5. Reload the cabinet.
6. Select the Load Items icon, then select Display Objects. Locate the part that was saved in the Display Part Editor.
7. Recall that any item that is inserted will be inserted at the target. Use the Move Increment methods to move the part. CTRL+C to copy and CTRL+V to paste.
a. Ensure that you have the part(s) associated to the cabinet before you save and close the file. (left-click on the part, double-click on the cabinet, then from
the right-click menu select Associate to Cabinet. If the first part is associated, then copied the consecutive copies of the part will be associated).
Good luck

Re: Glass panels
Thank you Dennis, That makes it a little bit easier when dealing with an adj sh, Will probably be traveling back to Dale in the near future (time to train some employees) I'll probably take the machine course so I'll stop by and say hi, hope all is well. Mark.
