Doesn't really help you right now but did you know Chief is giving a free webinar on this exact topic tomorrow?

Hi Ryan, I have done some work with this already but it doesn't allow one to change the tiles individually like i want here...all tiles are the same or two different kinds..also not so much on the hex style tiles.

@dskogg Make sure to tag me if you'd like my input, otherwise I just happen upon mention by chance.
I'm almost always going to approach these types of things through materials. I can do it much faster that way and control texture and grout thickness roughness, opacity etc.

wow.. i will be sure to tag you Rene, so how did you achieve this? My tiles are wavy like this too...

2 questions:

1.  Why do you feel the need to convert to a symbol?  You could pretty easily leave those as freestanding objects and just create an Architectural Block if anything

2.  Why can't you paint the tiles after converting to a symbol? 

Hi Michael, not sure why i made it a symbol, but when i did once i tried painting one tile say of white it painted all the white tiles.

For some reason i had a mixture of polyline solids and polylines and i could not group select and convert to block, i got rid of the polylines and then did group select and block but

i drew these flat and need them for wall surface, how would i rotate them to vertical now?

Hi All you chiefers I need your help...I have this shower i want to use a hex tile and make an organic pattern.

What i have done is make a polyline and duplicate until i have an entire space filled up, turn them into

polyline solids and then using paint tool i adjust each tile to get the pattern, then i turned this into a symbol.

Inserted symbol into plan and then i was going to add a wall material region in a thinner section to represent grout.

Only thing is this is laborious and i can't adjust tiles to different colours once i have made them a symbol.

Any and all suggestions? Rene?

Do you have lines turned on for water colour,

I cleaned it up for you guys it shows up nicely in watercolor view. Enjoy!

Krion Bathtub.calibz

I needed to rezize to 59.5 w, 27h, 29.5 w and then it shows lines?

yes it came in in the thousand of inches size, i just resized and saved, only issue is it has

edge lines that dont go away in vector or watercolour view..i increased smoothing angle but they didnt go away.

Not sure where I got this one.

 

R Tub.calibz

Thanks Alan, that is almost a perfect fit....here is it in the reno design i am doing.

Anyone have a tub symbol like this? I tried on 3d warehouse and no luck.

Can anyone tell me how to adjust this symbol to make flanges not shown?

I reduced bounding box size but that didn't work.

No, they only appear in Physically Based render mode, or in a Raytrace.

Others say you just have to turn up luminance to sun level then they appear...

Thanks, that is really close.

cheers

Place this sink into your cabinet and paint it the same color as your countertop to create an integrated sink top.

I became tired of positioning loads of lights to simulate LED tape light strips, so I created this symbol: LED Tape Light.calibz

 

The symbol is only 24" long - you need to use a row of several symbols to produce varying lengths. There are 96 lights per symbol at 5 lumens per light, for a total output of 240 lumens/foot. You can easily produce half the output (120 lumens/foot) by simply turning off every-other light. Adjusting the per-light lumen output is straight-forward but exceptionally tedious because the changes can't be made in the Adjust Lights dbx, you must modify each individual light (all 96 of them) within the symbol dbx. The symbols display reasonably well in both raytrace and physically based:

 

Raytrace, 240 lumens (48 lights) / foot

 

Raytrace, 120 lumens (24 lights) / foot

 

Physically based, 240 lumens (48 lights) / foot

 

Physcially based, 120 lumens (24 lights) / foot

Robert, does this work for water colour render? I have had a hard time getting these lights to show up in wc.

I everyone, i cant seem to find a good undermount ss sink in standard catalogue or in kohler, elkay etc.

They are all too round.

I am looking for a deep, 15-20mm radius undermount sink like this one.

Anyone have one or know where i might find these?

here is a list of a bunch of sinks that i use for renos etc.

A lot of the time my custom home and remodeling clients have not yet picked out specific fixtures for their design. If they have done so and supply me with specs, I then try my utmost to make my drawings as realistic as possible but in the end, it is the materials they specify and the fixtures and appliances that they personally pick out and or buy that is applied to their project. My drawings are conceptual, their project is what, in the end, counts and matters, not any virtual model.

Yes that totally makes sense, in this case I am doing the design and renovation for this project and I am trying to provide a cost effective solution to the customer and at the same time selling him on the design.  

He is open to some more modern looks and I want to help with this and also build my design build portfolio, often times clients will make their own decisions without designer input and sometimes it doesn't work well in the end.  So if you are only designing then you job stops their, but if you are also building then I want to help guide them to have the best most current look.

Does this make more sense now?

Glad to see you got your vanity complete. As far as the 'Traverse' sink goes...you should make sure your Kohler library is up to date. At any rate, you can see that by manipulating the stretch planes, you'd be able to make all the sink sizes from the 'Bliss' collection by Kube.

Thanks Rob, it is a good quick option, thanks for that, only thing doesnt it make the sink deeper?  I think the bliss sink top is about 4.75" thick.

Rene gave the answer - since you want square corners it's easy. Adding radiused edges would take a bit longer.

Psolid to size of sink, convert to solid, explode solid, delete top face.

If you want a drain hole add a cylinder and extrude the bottom face a fraction so you can do boolean subtraction.

OR easier add a small round psolid to the bottom. 

Convert to symbol, fixture interior, inserts into a countertop, sink. If you convert the whole counter and sink to a symbol then it's a PIA to use with a cabinet.

Cabinet with counter top size you need, add the sink symbol, adjust it's height in relation to the counter if you didn't when making the symbol. Rebuild 3D.

Making took about the same time it took to write all this. Certainly less time than the collective search.

 

Integrated sink.plan

Yes, sometimes one cant see the forest for the trees...i was just making one, used a pop up drain and some solids.

Play with this.

Rob how did you do this?

still no luck, did a search for pedestal and traverse, no traverse.

I might have found a sink that is close, not square corners though.

Cheers.

Just saw that yesterday it is in the pedestal sink section for Kohler 

Ryan, my kohler library does not have a pedestal section?

Kohler  / Traverse. This sink symbol can be adjusted to do what you need.

Rob, i dont see any traverse in kohler? Another name?

Ok thanks, I don’t see a way to convert a circle to a poly line.

i finally got it to work, I suspect ca was selecting the camera not the inner circle, so I zoomed in and then it let me select the cad circle and subtract.

but I am confused you say it can’t be done with a as circle because I couldn’t convert to a polyline?
