If you need to change the material for one of the shutters in a cabinet, particularly in cases like bi-fold lift-ups or bi-fold corner units where there are two shutters, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the Specific Shutter:

    • Click on the shutter you want to modify. It should be highlighted once selected.

  2. Access Panel Options:

    • Look for the "Panel" option, usually located in the customization or editing menu for the cabinet.

  3. Choose Material Source:

    • In the panel options, find the "Material Source" dropdown menu.

    • By default, it will be set to "Shutter," meaning it inherits the material from the cabinet's shutter settings.

  4. Select Material Source:

    • Click on the dropdown menu and choose the desired material source.

      • If you want the panel to match the carcass material, select "Carcass."

      • If you want to apply a different material specifically to this panel, select "Self."

  5. Customize Material:

    • Once "Self" is selected, additional customization options will become available.

    • You can now modify the external and internal finishes, as well as the edge banding details as needed.

  6. Change Material:

    • To change the material, select the option to fetch from the store or choose from available options.

    • For example, you can select "American Maple" from the options provided, and the material will be applied to the selected shutter panel.

By following these steps, you can change the material for a specific shutter panel within a cabinet, especially in cases where there are multiple shutters like bi-fold lift-ups or bi-fold corner units.
