One of the "problems" with having a generic CAD software or one that is not specific to the product you use is being able to successfully replicate fascia finishes and colours.
As any Nexus users will know you can fully customise all the cabinets in the menu and create additional sizes and configurations and there is quite a large range of image textures. The problem is, remembering the names of these images and to what colour/finish they relate.
Well this is what I did....
As you know, we install mainly Crown so I went on the Crown website on the page where they show the colour samples.
Using the Snipping Tool that you get with Windows 7, I selected an area of the colour and saved it as an image in a separate folder on my PC...the all important part being to give the file a name that relates to the colour. Rialto Metallic Oxygen for instance.
The image textures for Nexus can be found in C:/ Program Files(x86)/VRKitchen/Textures/Fascias.
You simply copy and paste the image you've saved into the Fascias folder and it will appear in the drop down menu when you select Image Texture.
