Short of building the pantry out of component cabinets, is there a down and dirty way to show glass doors above, solid doors below?

Turn the door into a glass door and then change the BOTTOM FRAME height size to 40".Quote:

It's there, believe me, easy peasy
o well, i browsed through all the cabinet dbx options again, couldn't find a setting, i don't suppose it'd look like a 5 piece door anyway if it's all frame and i doubt it would schedule any better that stacking two cabinets OR using a door panel. someday maybe I'll have the time to find that setting, I'll make a note for the future.
at any rate, the renders done, the schedules wrong, but what's new - I usually just send the plans to my cabinet vendor, let them make a list and then check that I understand how it's gonna install. the cabinet schedule is more useful to give the customer something to look at and approve than as part of the working drawings anyway, in terms of sticks of crown, end panels, dish panels, scribes, kicks and so on.
Sorry mike, so sorry, I misread the request, my bad, no, I dot know an easy way to do what you want.
well the door panel is pretty quick and looks great except for the missing pull, I can comment on the glass above in components and the schedules good except for the missing pull, I'll turn off pulls and count them manually, no big deal.
Isn't there one of those "Dutch" doors or whatever you call them in one of the libraries?
C:
Not sure, I ran a search on "Dutch", got colors and siding, no doors, browsed all the rectangular, framed cabinet doors in the core library, didn't see anything....
Would that help? I think of a dutch door as a standard door that's been cut in half horizontally above the knob, the top half bolts to the bottom half to operate in unison or can be unbolted to operate independently.
I just want to show a pantry cabinet with glass in the upper doors, something I do from time to time. In the field I do sometimes build those from components, so stacking cabinets in CA is correct and generates a reaonable shcedule.
In this case, I want to use a standard pantry, just with glass doors above, so I used the door panel for the door below, set the doors as glass, looks OK, schedules OK.
I think I miss-read the post.
There might be what you want in one of the manufacturers' libraries. Otherwise you have to split them up (two different cabinets) as Chief likes to put glass top and bottom if using a full height cabinet.
Back again, again it sure would make things easier if pictures were posted. But I now think you can do what you want with x5, will not work with x4

Scott ... thanks for setting me straight on this.
heres a pic of 4 cabinets, from lef tto right, a defaut pantry, a pantry with glass doors, a pantry with glass doors and the bottom door set as a door panel and two cabinets stacked one on top of the other.
I elected to us the stacked cabinets for the render, just because that's what I've done in the past. I think I may start using the 3rd option, because it generates a not incorrect schedule. I can live with either soultion - manually adjsut the schedule OR render with a missing knob.
thanks for all the input.
