Clone and rename a laminate or finish
Create a laminate or finish that is not in the warehouse by cloning a similar one and renaming it.
This clone-and-rename flow is commonly used to represent a local or new-market laminate brand that is not in the warehouse — clone a similar-looking laminate, choose the destination category, then rename the clone to the new brand and model details; alternatively upload your own texture finish.
Because cloning duplicates the SKU's finish material rather than sharing it, the thickness of a veneer or laminate can be changed by cloning the SKU and editing the thickness on the clone, leaving the original untouched.
