Creating different worktop colours in one design
All worktops placed in the design will use the same colour that is set in the materials editor. If you require a different colour for another worktop such as an island worktop or breakfast bar, you will need to use custom worktop 2 or 3.
1. Go to 'Base Units and select 'Worktops'
2. Select 'Custom Worktop' (Shortcut CWT) - For guidance on creating a Custom Worktop, please refer to
Creating Custom Worktops
3. From the list choose 'Worktop 2'
4. Once the worktop has been created, go to 'Materials'
5. 'Worktop 2' will be listed in the components and you can change the colour as you usually would
