    Resizing the rail & stiles on cabinet doors

    I know this must have been asked and answered before, but how do you change the rail and/or stile width of a cabinet door?

    Thanks,

    Jay

    Draw the door the size you would like them to be.

    Jay,

    Don't spend too much time looking for the settings.

    Louis and Jay,
    I might have misunderstood. I took it as meaning rails and stiles around the doors.
    In any case, Jay, please clarify what you are after.

    Sorry for the confusion. I need to modify the doors not the cabinet. I believe the rails and stiles of the rectangular, framed, simple library doors are 2". I need them to be 2-3/8" on lots of doors. Perhaps a small difference, but on narrow doors the difference can be seen and I want the client to sign-off before making any saw dust.

    Is there a way to do this using resizable doors or to copy and modify the library's version?

    Thanks,

    Jay

    I think you'll have to make your own doors if you want custom rail/stile widths.
    It's not hard to do if you know the 3D tools. You should be able to make one door & use stretch planes to resize.

    Making one and then stretching it is not a big deal, but i guess I would then have to manually place them on each cabinet? Or can I somehow add them to the door library and let the program place them?

    Thanks,

    Jay

    Jay,

    You make it and then bring it through the symbol wizard as a cabinet door.

    Tools /symbol/ create symbol.
