counter top

[vfxhouse]

Hi, using home designer 8 suite:

DO I need to add a base cabinet in order to add a countertop? I have a corner base cabinet area where its just dead space and was wondering:

1.) how to get the counter and backsplash to wrap around the corner properlly (see pic)

Also was curious:

2.) How to make the counter top edge style match (sink base/dw edge is different than others)

3.) Is there a way to select all cabinets and make them all the same style or is there a way for the format painter to do this?

4.) Having trouble with the 1st upper cabinet on the left showing double doors, I know its a double door cabinet because I copied and pasted it from the one above the sink (36") then resized down to 24" but doors jump down from 2 to 1 when resized

Any help what so ever appreciated!!!

Thanks!

Only Architectural Home Designer and Home Designer Pro have the Custom Countertop tool which allows you to create a countertop without a base cabinet.

There must be something different about the cabinet with the sink in it. Possibly the height?

Your version might automatically add double doors when a cabinet is at a certain width. Open the wall cabinet's specification dialog and in the preview of the cabinet, select the door to go to the Face tab and set it as a Double Door.

Hi, I tried the below but it wont seem to let me change the doors to double for the standard base cabinet, what I had to do Is choose a replace with a different looking cabinet (cant find a wall double door though to replace). Under object properties do you know where to go ? Is it door style or face item?

Thanks!

(Cabinet objects are pre-programmed to have a single door up to 24" wide and automatically jump to double doors starting at 25". You can manually open the dialog box of the offending cabinet and change it or you can change cabinet defaults for all such cabinets; either way will work.)
