Every cabinet includes one or more module. To learn how to partition a cabinet into multiple modules, see the articles How to Partition a Cabinet Graphically and How to Partition a Cabinet in the Settings Dialog.
A module consists of three basic components – a Type, a Front, and a Handle.
For each module, you can select a style for each of these components. This allows you to set one module to be a door, another to be a drawer stack, and a third to be a slide-out bin. They can all have the same style of front, or you can choose the front style independently. Similarly, you can independently choose a handle style for each module.
To change the module type, front and handle:
- Select the cabinet and open its Settings dialog.
- On the Modules page, click to select the module(s) you want to edit.
- Choose a module type, front and handle from the lists.
Set a few other values for the module (i.e. change the Label, set the Opening angle/margin, and choose the handle location).
- Click OK to apply the settings.

Settings for a front include:
