The board tool is used to create manual panels, fabric boards, and track walls. They are best placed on an empty section of wall or between components or shelves where it’s not completely enclosed (where the applied panel tool may be more appropriate).
Select the Board option in the ribbon toolbar. Hover over the desired location and click and drag a box to create the board in the desired size.
Boards move and delete like others parts.
Double click on the board to move it, or click and drag the nodes on the perimeter to resize it. They can also resize using the nodes surrounding the board or type on the dimensions that surround the board in Elevation view (see left).
There will be a “Panel too tall/wide” warning if the board is too large for the selected material.
If placing or moving a board, and it interferes with a component/part/design zone, the user will see a warning X. Move or resize the board for the warning to disappear.
If needing help fitting a board into a specific area, consult your local plan reviewer.
The default option for the board tool is a manual panel, which can be used to add a piece of board material to a specific area or section of the wall (like between a lower cabinet and upper cabinet).
BOARD PROPERTIES
To edit, right click to go into the board’s Properties [Board].
The Style of board is where the user can switch from a Manual Panel (the default) to a Fabric Board or Fusion Track Wall. The menu will change slightly depending on the style. The Finish options depend on the selected style. Rotate Grain will change the direction of the pattern, if applicable and depending on material sizes.
Users can specify a Width and Height for the board. The distance from wall or floor can also be edited using either method.
Display All Dims turns these dimensions on or off.
