Elliot Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I know I saw this in a video or online class but I cannot find it or remember. After I finish drawing the kitchen if I want to add a crown molding by changing all the defaults in the default settings for wall cabinets and full height cabinets, how can I then get all the cabinets which I drew as the default to get that crown molding applied. I thought it was automatic which is the idea behind setting up and using defaults. But it is not working. Or like if I want to change all the cabinet hardware, same thing. Also how can I add a 6" horizontal filler between the wall cabinets and the crown molding to fill the space up the ceiling on a 102.5" ceiling? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted October 23, 2022 Author Share Posted October 23, 2022 Oh I see. I think it was in fact changing the hardware done in the tutorial which they did for all cabinets by changing default. To add the crown to all cabinets I just select them all and modify them all but it doesn't change the default. thanks for the quick response. Seems like you are always there for us when we need you!

MarkMc Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 15 minutes ago, Elliot said: modify them all but it doesn't change the default. For items that are not dynamic defaults I use style palettes. In this case I'd change the default molding, add one tall cab and one wall somewhere. Select the tall cab, make style palette, new, clear all selections, select molding; then click the add button and select wall from drop down, repeat selections. Then use the style palette to spray the room. I prefix them all with SP and try to reuse where possible. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted October 23, 2022 Author Share Posted October 23, 2022 MarkMc great idea. I like that. I have not played around with style pallettes, but it is time to do just that. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtldesigns Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I thought with X14 you can change/replace with Material Painter? I saw the vid on hardware (the one showing X14 improvements). Honestly, I haven't tried it, just remember seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 As for the crown molding, you can stack up any number of sections you need to decorate the tops of walls and talls. Experiment around in the molding dialog, adding sections, diddling the offsets, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 In addition to using Defaults and Style Palettes, you can also change one cabinet and use the Material Eyedropper/Painter, the Object Eyedropper/Painter tool and/or Match Properties.

DBCooper Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Quote Also how can I add a 6" horizontal filler between the wall cabinets and the crown molding to fill the space up the ceiling on a 102.5" ceiling? Sounds like a soffit to me. Also, if you want to change all of your cabinets that you have already placed, you can always just group select them and change them all at once. If you marquee select while in wall cabinet mode, you will just select wall cabinets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Looks like Elliott the OP has left the room, but here is my take on the "fill" for the crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
