    Changing Material in Kitchen Cabinets

    Is there a way to change all the materials(color) of all kitchen cabinets in a design without manually changing each cabinet?

    Yes, hold down the shift key to multiple select cabinets (either clicking on each one or marquee, shift/drag select) and then open them all up and change them in the materials tab.

    Also, look at the new material painter tools in X1.

    In full height cabinet mode, drag a marquis which covers the cabinets you want to change, then make the changes.

    I am holding shift and then I have selected the cabinets but they won't open. It just "flashes" without open the material window.

    I am trying to select base cabinets, partition walls and full height cabinets...
    Any suggestions?

    Jillian:

    If you are following the procedure I suggested, you have to make sure that in cabinet mode you have the full height cabinet selected. Perhaps one of the other suggestions would work more easily for you?
