4hotshoez Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I have two door styles in one wall cabinet. the upper one has glass. How do I make them different without using two stacked cabinets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 You could designate one as a Drawer. The Hardware would require a bit of work and the Door Opening Indicator would be missing but otherwise..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJSpud Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Or, you could select the door to have glazing and go find one in the library. The downside might be matching door styles to what your project calls for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilgoreTrout Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 You can use as many different door styles as you have doors on your cabinet. You just click on the door you want to change and then click on the "library" button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJSpud Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Kilgore: You are correct ... I think my comment was inaccurate and/or confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I thought, but Chief must have been misbehaving on me as I changed on to glass, but they all changed. Then latter I did another to change both, but only one changed so I had two different doors in one cabinet. It is not completely reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilgoreTrout Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I think its been pretty reliable for me. Keep in mind that there are two different ways to change the door style. If you go to the "door/drawer" page, you can change the door style for the whole cabinet. If you go to the "front" page and click on the door, you can change the door style for just that one door. The individual door style has priority and will no longer change when you change the cabinet door style unless you then "clear" it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 To change only one to glass you have to align a glass door from the library. Checking off "glaas" in the dbx will affect all the doors. If the door style you need doesn't already exist in the library you have to make or adapt one and add it.

Gawdzira Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 See the attached image. Once in the cabinet DBX select the actual door to change in the DBX camera window (1). That brings up the "Front" tab (2). From there you can select the door of choice from the Library (3). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
