KevinCochran 0 Posted October 29, 2020 Can anyone tell me how to create custom island posts? I see a lot of posts in the cabinet catalogs but none of them will work for me. I'd like some posts with recessed panels like this picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solver 1578 Posted October 29, 2020 Please check your messages. Have you searched the forum (I'd look in Tips & Techniques) and on the Chief website? I would look for columns and not posts. Once you learn about the various tools available in Chief, you will see how to apply them to create things like this. New users often skip that learning part.

KevinCochran 0 Posted October 30, 2020 Perfect! How did you put the baseboard on? I see you selected toe kick with 0" depth and 4" height. Also, how did you add this molding? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kbird1 815 Posted October 30, 2020 The Boys are practicing tough love this morning apparently , not that I disagree that one should dig a bit and hit F1 when in doubt too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can also draw you own and add them to the library or import DWG etc too.
