When you select a cabinet in the scene, the Resource Manager will highlight the corresponding cabinet, making it easier to find and edit.
All the cabinets will be orginized by room.
any cabinet found outside the room will be listed as "OFF-ROOM"

- B_OPEN – Structure layer of a base cabinet.
- BASE_SPACE – Internal space for accessories (the bottom section of a tall cabinet).
- TOP_SPACE – Internal space for accessories in the top section of a tall cabinet.
- DOOR_SET – Door layer; used to modify any door components.
- WALL_SPACE – Internal space for accessories in a wall cabinet.
- WU_OPEN – Structure layer of a wall cabinet.

¶ Example 1
In this example, we’ll adjust the pullout space ratio for a cabinet.
-
Select a cabinet capable of housing pullouts.
-
Change its internal compartment to Pullouts.
-
Open the Resource Manager (bottom-left corner).
-
Click the cabinet in the scene — it will be highlighted in the Resource Manager.
-
For a T1D cabinet, open the BASE_SPACE layer. Inside this layer, locate the 4_PULLOUT_DOVETAIL accessory.
-
Adjust the parameter _RATIO_PO_4 to change space allocation.
-
Example: Set _RATIO_PO_43 = 2 to give the bottom pullout double the space of the others.
¶ Example 2
In this scenario, we will:
- Change the glass color of a cabinet door.
- Switch the shelf to glass.
- Add an extra shelf.
- Select a cabinet that supports glass doors.
- Open the Resource Manager and select the cabinet in the scene.
¶ To change the glass door color:
-
Navigate to DOOR_SET layer.
-
Select the glass door, then adjust the color in Style Settings.
¶ To modify shelves:
-
Go to the TOP_SPACE layer. (since the shelves are in the top section of this T1D)
-
Select SHELVES.
-
Adjust the Quantity (e.g., change from 2 to 3).
-
Change the shelf material to glass.
