How to place a side panel made of the same material as the countertop to create a “waterfall countertop

To simulate a “waterfall countertop” follow these steps:

First step

Add a “Side Panel to Floor” element next to the cabinet where you want to place the “waterfall countertop.” To do this, go to “Furnishing[1] and “Add unit[2]. In the furniture insertion window, select “Base Units[3], “Side panels and fillers[4], “Side panel, full height[5]. Now, if you haven’t selected the cabinet where you want to add this waterfall countertop as the “base cabinet“, click on the “Change Base Cabinet” button [6] and select it. Finally, click on the “Automatic Insertion” button [7] on one of the sides of the cabinet:

Second step

Change the material of the “Side panel”, so that it is the same as the countertop. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the “Photo” section.

  2. Click on the “Units and mouldings” option.

  3. In the “Door” option, select the same material as the worktop.

  4. Uncheck the “Apply to all” option.

  5. Click on the “OK” button.

  6. Select the “Side panel, full height” to apply the material (NOTE: It may be tricky to select the “Side panel, full height” element; try changing the perspective, moving the “Side panel, full height”, and once the material is changed, placing it back in position, etc.)
