Change the units materials

The following, we are going to see how to modify the materials of the furniture, the walls, and the floor.

All the tools to change the materials of the design elements are located in the “Photo” tab:

To select a new material, simply click on the corresponding “box” (carcase, door, glass, worktop, upstand, handle, baseboard, lightrail, or crown), and the following window will appear, where you can choose the new material you want to apply to the selected element:

Go ahead and select materials for each element, and leave the “Apply to all” option enabled so that the changes apply to all furniture in the design (if you deselect this option, you can only change the materials for the selected furniture). In our example, we will change these materials and click OK for the changes to take effect:

You can also check the “Apply to all walls” option to change all the walls, or uncheck that option to apply the material to a specific wall. In our example, we will apply this material to all walls:

Now, we select “Floor Material“, and repeat the process, selecting this material, applying a 45º angle to make the parquet look nicer:
