Everstyle has different design features or modes depending on the mode or option selected. There are three options:
These selections are dictated in the Everstyle Part Properties and the choice may depend on design aesthetics. Users can even have a mix of the different options. Regardless of the option, always start by adding desired Everstyle parts from the Part menu.
Reference the Standard Product Guide for full information on Everstyle features.
Integrated Hardware (Default)
Integrated Hardware is the default mode when adding Everstyle to a design. When the Integrated Hardware box is selected, a “hidden” finger pull will be utilized underneath the small face of the Everstyle Part.
This option is characterized by the metal detail that also serves as a finger pull. No additional hardware is needed. Integrated hardware also has a glass feature.
Integrated hardware is only available as inset.
Decorative Hardware
Decorative Hardware mode does not have the metal detail of Integrated Hardware (must be turned off prior to adding hardware) but a handle or knob is added to the small face of the Everstyle Part instead. Decorative hardware is inset only and has a glass feature.
This is done by selecting options under the Hardware heading in Properties [Part]. This is done the same way as with drawers.
Decorative Hardware only applies to Classic designs, it is currently not available for Paxton.
Drawer Mode
Drawer mode does not support 5-piece front styles.
Does not have the metal detail and requires the use of decorative hardware in order to function, and does not offer a glass piece. Instead, it has a TFL front with various sizes defined by the drawer type with the intent to mimic the look of a regular drawer box.
Right click to access Properties [Part], where Drawer Mode is located under the Main heading. Check the right box to turn the feature on.
When drawer mode is enabled, additional options drop down which allow users to edit fields such as face size and overlays (more info below).
Note that if the part is taller, such as with a laundry hamper or pant rack, the face will only partially cover the part and the fabric bags will still be visible.
Upon changing to Drawer Mode, there will be a missing hardware warning. To apply decorative hardware, select the same way as with drawers.
Use apply properties to.. to apply the change to other fronts.
A key difference in designing with Everstyle Drawer Mode is that users have the ability to adjust the front height to offer fully concealed storage in select Everstyle Drawer organizers. This also provides design flexibility when aligning drawer heights in adjacent components with standard drawers.
The program defaults to a face size which varies depending on the part’s specifications. However, users can change the face to another supported standard size or custom size.
A minimum and maximum is set in the backend, so users will see a warning if changed to a dimension that is too short or too tall.
Drawers that function above the runners use a grow up drawer face, which means if resized larger, it will move upward. This impacts: | Drawers that function below the runners use a grow down drawer face, which means if resized larger, it will move downward. This impacts: |

Everstyle Drawer Mode allows for Inset, Half and Full Overlays to create a cohesive look to components and ultimately, provides the ability to integrate Everstyle Organization into more designs to better fit our customers needs and overall aesthetic.
Selecting an overlay for Everstyle parts is done the same way as with drawers.
Half- and full-overlays are selected from the appropriate field in Properties [Part].
Inset is still selected from Properties [Component].
Drawer Mode only applies to Classic designs, it is currently not available for Paxton.
