Editing Wall Panel
In the kitchen planner, base and corner cabinets can be enhanced with a wall panel if their back side is in contact with the wall. They are not added automatically to the cabinet, conversely to worktops.
Wall panel options are editable by the customer via the Eedit panel of the cabinet: s/he can choose another wall panel, change it height, switch front to back side in case of reversible wall panels, define cut-outs and various operations.
All these modifications must be prepared beforehand by the Range Manager to ensure the expected behavior of the wall panel.
➡️ See Set Up Wall Panels 🔗 or Set Up Wall Panels through API 🔗 for detailed information on this preparating work.
➡️ See Define Wall Panel Position 🔗 for detailed information on how to place a wall panel on a cabinet.
Basic Actions and Options
